This table can accommodate up to 30 translator stations (for full-powered stations, see note below).

All fields except for call1, freq1, and city1 are optional. Display of optional columns is triggered by the presence of a value in xxxx1 fields (such as notes1 and haat1).

HAAT is supplied in meters and automatically converted to feet, so do not supply anything other than a number, or the {{convert}} will return a big red error message when called from the station page that this template is used in. Because of this, supply HAAT for all translators, or fill missing entries with 0 (zero). Also be aware that the FCC database may not contain a number other than 0 for HAAT on some stations — for these it is necessary to click on a link on the translator station's results page at fcc.gov to calculate the actual HAAT, since the 0 is not a valid or accurate result.

The optional notes work in a similar way to the optional HAAT, however |notesx= (where x is from 1 to 30) is the only thing that needs to be present for each translator, otherwise the variable code {{{x}}} will show instead of a blank.

Be aware that when a translator receives a license to cover (not the initial construction permit for) a change to a different frequency, its broadcast callsign will change to include its new channel number, plus two new serial letters (unless moving back to a channel the translator previously used). Be sure to use all of the technical and legal information that a translator is currently broadcasting with, whether it is the existing broadcast license, long-term special temporary authority, or program test authority for a permit.

In some cases a translator will be relaying the analog audio of one FM or AM station, but the official parent station in the database (see FCC CDBS Station Search or FCCdata.org for this info) will be the HD Radio digital subchannel of another station. In this case, generally put the translator in with the station with which the public would identify, that is to say the flagship station for the "network" rather than the one used as a legal fiction. (If the unofficial moniker used in station idents uses the "translator" station's frequency as its primary identification, and there is no other analog station carrying it, then the supposed "translator" is not really acting as one and may have its own article.)

Also, translator callsigns should redirect to their parent stations' article in the same manner as the preceding two paragraphs, unless the translator is off-air or being flipped for profit, when it may be assigned arbitrarily to a primary station which the translator's owner has no intention of transmitting long-term (or at all). Redirecting like this allows Misplaced Pages users to easily identify and access the data and links contained within the tables presented with this template.

If one or more of the various city fields need to be piped—for disambiguation or to solve a redlink—use {{!}} in place of the pipe character (|). Alternatively, for cases where a community of license of a translator is actually multiple cities (such as "Onley–Onancock, Virginia" for WESR (AM)), use cpxcity1 (through 30) instead of the normal city field.

Note about full-powered stations

Do not use this template for a list of full-powered radio stations (AM, FM, or non-translator LPFM). In this case, a wikitable should be created with the pertinent columns and information. For an example, see WAMC § Other stations.

Parameters

Parameters with numbers, such as call1, can range from 1 to 30.

Parameter Required? Parameter that adds this column Wikitext allowed? Description Examples
callsign Optional Yes Adds a table heading shows the call sign of the station that relays its signal to the translators. callsign = WAMC-FM
callsign = ]
width Optional Set the width of the table. width = 50%
width = 800px
call1 Required None, always displays No Call sign, must be a translator. call1 = W235AD
freq1 Required None, always displays No Frequency expressed in MHz. Supply only a number. freq1 = 92.7
city1 Required None, always displays No City of license, automatically links to Misplaced Pages article. If a city needs to be piped, for disambiguation or to solve a redlink, use {{!}} in place of the pipe character (|). city1 = Albany, New York
city1 = Catskill (village), New York{{!}}Catskill, New York
fid1 Optional None, always displays No Facility ID fid1 = 54321
watts1 Optional Presence of watt1 No Effective radiated power (ERP) expressed in watts. watts1 = 100
watts1 = 50
haat1 Optional Presence of haat1 No Height above average terrain (HAAT) expressed in meters. Supply only a number, otherwise the {{Convert}} used in this template will return an error message. haat1 = 60
haat1 = -6
class1 Optional Presence of class1 No Class of the translator. class1 = D
coord1 Optional Presence of coord1 Yes Transmitter coordinates, use {{Coord}} to specify coordinates coord1 = {{Coord|42|38|14|N|73|10|7|W|type:landmark_region:US-PA_source:FCC|name=W235AD}}
notes1 Optional Presence of notes1 Yes Miscellaneous notes notes1 = Began broadcasting July 7, 2008
notes1 = Signal adds coverage to southern ]
