Template:Architecture

Architecture
Featured In	{{{books}}}

This template allows you to describe architecture, usually buildings and structures, but sometimes other products of civil engineering and infrastructure, such as roads and bridges.

This template makes use of several optional location parameters - city, state, region, nation. When multiple of those are known - e.g. Kredik Shaw is the city of Luthadel and the Final Empire nation - include only the most local one; in this case, only the city.

Template

On lines with multiple parameters (e.g. |world= / earth=) pick only the one most appropriate.

era	Deprecated?
city	Use this to indicate the city where the architecture can be found. The value here is passed to the {{place tag}}, which means it should be a value valid for the {{toponym}} template. Warning:: Do not specify state, region, or nation if city is present. Note: Automatically generates a link. To bypass the {{place tag}} and link generation, use raw-city.	|city=Elendel |raw-city=[[Rashekin]]
state	Use this to indicate the state where the architecture can be found. The value here is passed to the {{place tag}}, which means it should be a value valid for the {{toponym}} template. Warning:: Do not specify region or nation if state is present. Note: Automatically generates a link. To bypass the {{place tag}} and link generation, use raw-state.	|state=Denver |raw-state=[[Nightingale124]] |raw-state=Iowa

Universes

While many of Brandon Sanderson's stories take place in named connected universes, some do not. For categorization purposes, we use dedicated names only for connected universes (i.e. universes with stories taking place on multiple planets), and consider everything else a standalone universe. Currently, the only valid values for the universe parameter are:

• Cosmere
• Skyward universe
• Wode States
• Standalone

Note that by convention [[Cosmere]] should be linked.
