| + | == Parameters == |
||
| − | |} |
||
| + | * The <code>books</code> parameter is required and should provide links to the books or series which the subject is '''Featured In''' |
||
| + | ; Setting: To indicate the setting within which the subject matter is discussed, the following parameters are accepted. At least one of these should be provided, and they should be provided in most-to-least specific order, as they are in the above list. |
||
| − | === Types === |
||
| + | * The <code>world</code> parameter should provide the name of the planet the lifeform is native to. This will generate a link to the planet passed. |
||
| − | While the ''type'' parameter allows for any number of types to be specified, there are several that are strongly encouraged: |
||
| + | * If the setting is an alternative earth, the <code>earth</code> parameter should be used instead, and should provide the series name (such as <code>|earth=Alcatraz</code> which will create a link to [[Earth (Alcatraz)]] or <code>|earth=Reckoners</code> to link to [[Earth (Reckoners)]]). |
||
| − | * Animal (<small><code><nowiki>{{cat tag|Animals|Animal}}</nowiki></code></small>) |
||
| + | * If neither <code>world</code> or <code>earth</code> are sufficient, then a <code>universe</code> can be provided. |
||
| − | * Plant (<small><code><nowiki>{{cat tag|Plants|Plant}}</nowiki></code></small>) |
||
| + | * To indicate the specific area or region a lifeform is from, provide the <code>native</code> parameter to produce a '''Native To''' row |
||
| − | * Cognitive Shadow (<small><code><nowiki>{{cat tag|Cognitive Shadows|Cognitive Shadow}}</nowiki></code></small>) |
||
| − | * Sapient Splinter (<small><code><nowiki>{{cat tag|Splinters|Sapient Splinters}}</nowiki></code></small>) |
||
| − | * Construct (<small><code><nowiki>{{cat tag|Constructs|Construct}}</nowiki></code></small>) |
||
| − | * Hemalurgic creation (<small><code><nowiki>{{cat tag|Hemalurgic creations|Hemalurgic creation}}</nowiki></code></small>) |
||
| − | * Magic user (<small><code><nowiki>{{cat tag|Magic users|Magic user}}</nowiki></code></small>) |
||
| + | ; Image: The infobox has the ability to show an image of the lifeform by providing the filename, eg <code>|image=lifeform.jpg</code>. This parameter should be on the first line after the opening <code>{{lifeform</code> as the image is placed at the top of the page. The filename will be passed to {{t|row/image+artist}} and will show the image and provide attribution to the artist. |
||
| + | ; Optional parameters: |
||
| − | === Categories & Tags === |
||
| + | * To specify what type of lifeform the article describes, such as ???, use the <code>type</code> parameter |
||
| − | Pages that make use of the ''{{t|lifeform}}'' template will be added to [[:Category: Lifeforms]]. In addition, providing <code><nowiki>|sapient=y</nowiki></code> will add the page to [[:Category: Sapient beings]], while providing <code><nowiki>|world</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>|earth</nowiki></code> will add the page to a lifeforms category corresponding to that world/earth (<small>e.g. <code><nowiki>|world=Roshar</nowiki></code> will add the page to [[:Category: Rosharan lifeforms]]</small>). |
||
| + | * To indicate the lifeforms special skill and properties use the <code>abilities</code> parameter |
||
| + | * If the lifeform has specific uses in the setting they can be listed using the <code>uses</code> parameter |
||
| + | * If <code>|sapient=y</code> is added the '''Sapient''' row will show Yes and the article will be added to [[:category: sapient beings]] |
||
| + | ; Special parameters: |
||
| + | * To override the title shown in the infobox, the <code>|title=</code> parameter should be passed |
