+## Parameters and parameter object features
+
+Sometimes it's useful to represent support for specific parameters (also known as arguments) of a function or method, as a subfeature of the function itself. To record data about whether a specific parameter is supported by a function or method, use the following naming conventions:
+
+- For named parameters, use a subfeature named `paramname_parameter` with description text `<code>paramname</code> parameter`. Where _paramname_ is the name of the parameter as it appears on the corresponding function's MDN page (or specification, if no MDN page is available).
+
+  For example, to represent support for the `firstName` parameter of a method `hello(firstName, familyName)`, use a subfeature of `hello` named `firstName_parameter` with the description text `<code>firstName</code> parameter`.
+
+- For unnamed parameters, use a subfeature named `ordinal_parameter` with description text `ordinal parameter` where _ordinal_ is the ordinal number position of the parameter.
+
+  For example, to represent support for the second parameter of a method `count()`, use a subfeature of `count` named `second_parameter` and description text `Second parameter`.
+
+- For properties of parameter objects, use a subfeature named `paramname_prop_parameter` with description text `<code>paramname.prop</code> parameter`, where _paramname_ is the name of the parameter object and _prop_ is the name of the property.
+
+  For example, to represent support for the `year` property of the `date` parameter to a method `schedule(date)` (as in `schedule({"year": 1970 })`), use a subfeature of `schedule` named `date_year_parameter` with description text `<code>date.year</code> parameter`.
+
+For existing data which does not follow this guideline, you may modify it to conform with this data, if you are you otherwise updating the data (or data related to it).

+This guideline was proposed and adopted in [#10509](https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/pull/10509).
