Parameter	Description	Example	Preview
`deprecated`	This material parameter is deprecated and should no longer be used.	`{{MatParam\|I'm deprecated\|bool\|Really, don't use me anymore!\|deprecated=1}}`	`I'm deprecated`
`since`	This material parameter is available since this game. Uses the template {{<game> add}}.	`{{MatParam\|$likealienswarm\|bool\|I'm available in Portal 2, too!\|since=AS}}`	`$likealienswarm`
`also`	This material parameter is also available in this game. Uses the template {{<game> also}}.	`{{MatParam\|$likealienswarm\|bool\|I'm also available in Garry's Mod!\|since=AS\|also=GMOD}}`	`$likealienswarm`
`only`	This material parameter is available only in this game. Uses the template {{<game> only}}.	`{{MatParam\|$lovealienswarm\|bool\|I'm only available in Alien Swarm!\|only=AS}}`	`$lovealienswarm`
`dx9`	This material parameter requires DX9 or higher to function.	`{{MatParam\|$dx9parameter\|boolean\|I require DX9 to work!\|dx9=1}}`	`$dx9parameter`
`dx8`	This material parameter is for DX8, and should not be used for DX9.	`{{MatParam\|$dx8parameter\|boolean\|I'm a material parameter for DX8!\|dx8=1}}`	`$dx8parameter`
`to`	Use this to define a set of material parameters with very similar names.	`{{MatParam\|$basetexture1\|to=$basetexture4\|texture\|There are many of us...}}`	`$basetexture1`
`and`	Use this to define two material parameters with very similar names.	`{{MatParam\|$bumpmap\|and=$bumpmap2\|texture\|This shader supports two bump maps.}}`	`$bumpmap`
