Difference between revisions of "Template:Infobox Tip"

Overview

This template is used to show an infobox at the top of a Tip mission article. In addition to showing the infobox, it also supplies the appropriate categories using a default sort key that strips off the first six characters (which should always be "Tip - "); thus, "Mission:Tip - Example" would sort under "E".

This template has special magic that ensures that it will only activate in the Mission: namespace. If an article in another namespace transcludes the article, the infobox and categories will automatically suppress. (Conversely, this means it can only be used in the Mission: namespace.)

Usage

Copy and paste to use:

{{Infobox Tip
|type=
|place=
|available=
|levelfrom=
|levelto=
|choice=
}}

Explanation of parameters:

type=

The type of tip mission. This must be one of the following:

• alignment, for an alignment mission
• morality, for a morality mission
• event, for an event mission

place=

The place where the tip drops. Possible options:

• Paragon City, required for alignment and morality missions in Paragon City
• Rogue Isles, required for alignment and morality missions in the Rogue Isles
• Anywhere, recommended for tips that can drop anywhere (such as event tips)

available=

Specifies who the tip is available to. That is, who the tip will drop for. This must be one of the following:

• hero, for Heroes
• vill, for Villains
• rog, for Rogues
• vig, for Vigilantes
• herovig, for Heroes and Vigilantes
• villrog, for Villains and Rogues
• herovigrog, for Heroes, Vigilantes, and Rogues
• villrogvig, for Villains, Rogues, and Vigilantes
• all4, for Heroes, Vigilantes, Villains, and Rogues
• everyone, for Everyone

levelfrom=

levelto=

Together, these two parameters specify the level range, with levelfrom= being the lower bound and levelto= being the upper bound. If the levels aren't known, then leave these parameters blank and a question mark will automatically be supplied.

choice=

Specifies what alignment/morality choice is available in the mission. This must be one of the following:

• hero, for Heroes
• vill, for Villains
• rog, for Rogues
• vig, for Vigilantes
• herovig, for Heroes and Vigilantes
• villrog, for Villains and Rogues

demo=

(Not shown in the copy-and-paste above.) This enables demo mode. The Infobox will be forcibly shown. The categories will be forcibly suppressed.
