Important notes

Under WP:NOPRICES, "product prices should not be quoted in an article unless they can be sourced and there is a justified reason for their mention". Use of the "price" field should therefore be the exception rather than the norm.

In addition to the tracking category below, using this template without including at least one of parameters besides "title", "image", and "caption" will add the page to Category:Articles which use infobox templates with no data rows.
