To make a template appear on a page, you type the name of the template encased in double curly brackets - '''<nowiki>{{ ... }}</nowiki>'''. You do not include the ''Template:'' part of the name - for example, to import the protected (see below) template at [[Template:Protected]], you would type '''<nowiki>{{Protected}}</nowiki>'''. | To make a template appear on a page, you type the name of the template encased in double curly brackets - '''<nowiki>{{ ... }}</nowiki>'''.

Some templates have variables, where you can fill in relevant details when you reference them. The lists below note where variables exist, how you complete them and with what. Variables are filled in by, after a template name, placing a vertical bar ('''|'''), then the variable name, then an equals sign, and then what the variable contains. To fill another variable, type another vertical bar, then it's variable name, an equals, and then what the variable should contain. | Some templates have variables, where you can fill in relevant details when you reference them.

==Infobox Templates== | ==Infobox Templates== | ||
Infoboxes are templates designed to standardise how certain information is displayed, such as a [[Battledome]] character's statistics or information about a [[game]]. | |||
===BattleInfo=== | |||
{{BattleInfo}} | |||
[[Template:BattleInfo]] is used to display the statistics of a 1-Player Battledome Challenger. It usually appears under the heading ''Battledome'' on a characters' page. | |||
To add the BattleInfo template to a document, use the following code: | |||
'''<nowiki>{{BattleInfo|</nowiki><br /> | |||
|<br /> | |||
|<br /> | |||
|<br /> | |||
|<br /> | |||
|<br /> | |||
|<br />''' | |||
The first variable to be entered into the template is the name of the Battledome character - the reason this is not automatically drawn from the article's name is because the character does not necessarily use the same name. | |||
The second variable is the location of the character's opponent pic, preferably uploaded onto the NeoDex. The third is the character's difficult rating, the forth the number of HP they start with, the fifth the increment of the number of HP per win, the sixth the name of the first item that can be stolen from the character, and the seventh the location of where the challenger is found. A URL link should be included if possible. In the case of an automatic challenger, the phrase ''Automatic Challenger'' should be used instead. | |||
===Infobox Game=== | |||
{{Infobox Game}} | |||
[[Template:Infobox Game]] is used to show basic information about a flash game. It should appear at the top of the article. | |||
To add the Infobox Game template to a page, use the following code: | |||
'''<nowiki>{{Infobox Game|GameImage=</nowiki><br /> | |||
|GameID=<br /> | |||
|World=<br /> | |||
|Categories=<br /> | |||
|Ratio=}}''' | |||
In this template, the '''GameImage''' variable should hold the location of the Click-to-Play image of the game in question. For naming conventions, see the [[NeoDex:Image use policy]]. The '''GameID''' variable should hold the identification number of a game. On the game's URL, this is the number at the end, after ''?game_id=''. The template uses this number to get the correct links to the High Score and game pages. The ''World'' variable should be filled in with what world the game takes place in, and the ''categories'' variable needs the list of categories a game is allocated under, in the order they are displayed on the game page. | |||
