''They do not affect any other Databoxes on the wiki''. * <code>'''useImage:'''</code> This parameter allows the local databox to choose which image of the item's P18 files to display. A Wikidata item can have multiple files for its property Image (P18). By default, only the most recently uploaded (or Preferred) file will be displayed when a databox is invoked. * <code>'''excludeProperties:'''</code> This parameter allows the local databox to exclude additional properties from being included in the current databox (only). Databox code already contains a global list of properties to exclude from being displayed, this exclusion list affects '''all''' databoxes on the current wiki. Adding or removing properties under '''local site excluded properties = {''' of the code at [[Module:Databox]] will affect all databoxes currently displayed and any future ones. Editors' may want to have more control over what data/properties are shown for individual databoxes to stop it from becoming too long or containing irrelevant data for the current article, page or topic.

[[m:User:Danny_Benjafield_(WMDE)|User:Danny_Benjafield (WMDE)]] on behalf of the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team will be updating the local code for the Template:Databox and Module:Databox pages in the coming weeks.
