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. |raw-world= / world= / earth=) pick only the one most appropriate.

Parameters

{{Architecture}} Parameters

Parameter	Description	Examples
image	Use this to display a relevant image. The file must be hosted on the Coppermind. Credit will be derived from the image's {{art}} template.	|image=Kholinar.jpg
owner or owners	Use one of these describe ownership.	In the case of Kredik Shaw: |owner=[[Lord Ruler]]
usage	Use this to describe the function of the architecture. Try applying a category to it if there is one that's relevant.	|usage=Road |usage={{cat tag|Palaces|Palace}} |usage={{cat tag|Academic institutions|Academy}}
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. Note:: Do not specify state, region, or nation if city is present. To bypass the {{place tag}}, 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. Note:: Do not specify region or nation if state is present. To bypass the {{place tag}}, use raw-state.	|state=Denver |raw-state=[[Nightingale124]]
dominance	Use this to indicate the Final Empire Dominance where the architecture can be found. The value here is automatically linked.	|dominance=Central
princedom	Use this to indicate the Alethi or Veden princedom where the architecture can be found. The value here is automatically linked.	|princedom=Sadeas |princedom=Valam
region	Use this to indicate the region 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. Note:: Do not specify nation if region is present. To bypass the {{place tag}}, use raw-region.	|region=Forests of Hell |raw-region=Border between {{tag|Jah Keved}} & {{tag|Alethkar}}
nation	Use this to indicate the nation 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. To bypass the {{place tag}}, use raw-nation.	|nation=Arelon |raw-nation=[[Mokia]] |raw-nation=The Kingdom of Eddie
world or earth	Use this to indicate the Cosmere world or the non-Cosmere version of Earth where the architecture can be found. Cosmere worlds get passed to the {{place tag}} template, so they must be valid {{toponym}} values. If specifying an Earth, it must be one of the ones listed on the Earth page.	|world=Roshar |earth=reckoners
universe	Use this to indicate the (connected) universe where the architecture can be found. See the #Universes section below for more details.	|universe=Cosmere |universe=Skyward universe |universe=''Standalone''
books	Use this to indicate which book or series the architecture is featured in.	|books=[[Mistborn Era 1]] |books=[[The Stormlight Archive]] |books=[[Firefight]]

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.
