parametersincluding
Parametersincluding is a term used in technical writing and software documentation to describe the explicit listing of parameters that are included in a function, API, or model. The word is a concatenation of “parameters” and “including,” and it is sometimes encountered in contexts where a description or label must indicate which parameters are part of a given interface.
The term appears most often in auto-generated documentation, data schemas, or codebases where naming conventions favor
- API and function specifications: documenters may use the concept to highlight that a parameter list includes
- Data schemas: a field labeled parametersincluding may contain an array or list of parameter names that
- Documentation generation: tooling can generate or enforce a convention to ensure essential parameters are enumerated for
Limitations and considerations
The concatenated form can reduce readability and introduce ambiguity, particularly for new readers or when translated
