Formatting

This template takes four parameters.

• Game is which game that the archetype falls under (coh or cov)--this determines the color scheme only and will have no effect on the data displayed; however, it must be filled in.
• Archetype is the Archetype to be linked to.
• Power is the name of the powerset at NoFuture.org.uk. In most cases, Power={{PAGENAMEE}} is the best option to use (name of the page, using underscores instead of spaces). But some powers are named differently at NoFuture (i.e. Devices are linked as Gadgets). In this case, the name at NoFuture should be filled in instead.
• Type is how the primary or secondary powerset is described on NoFuture.org.uk. Please consult the following table.

Base Template

{{NoFuturePowerSet|Game=|Archetype=|Power=|Type=}}

To link a blaster power, for example, you would link its primary powerset as

{{NoFuturePowerSet|Game=coh|Archetype=Blaster|Power={{PAGENAMEE}}|Type=Ranged}}

and it's secondary powerset as

{{NoFuturePowerSet|Game=coh|Archetype=Blaster|Power={{PAGENAMEE}}|Type=Support}}

Similarly, to link to a Mastermind primary powerset,

{{NoFuturePowerSet|Game=cov|Archetype=Mastermind|Power={{PAGENAMEE}}|Type=Summon}}

and secondary,

{{NoFuturePowerSet|Game=cov|Archetype=Mastermind|Power={{PAGENAMEE}}|Type=Buff}}

The name of the power is automatically taken from the article.

Changes

Original link created by User:StarGeek.

Red Tomax, www.nofuture.org.uk's owner, uses the URL to determine the color scheme. As it was, all powersets linked from here would have a hero White/Blue color scheme. All information would still be accurate, but would confuse some visitors. Compare Mastermind Force Fields Hero color scheme and Villain color scheme

[http://www.nofuture.org.uk/coh/powersets/{{{Archetype}}}_{{{Type}}}/{{{Power}}} {{PAGENAME}}]

I added the {{{Game}}} paramater so that links can have the matching color scheme.

[http://www.nofuture.org.uk/{{{Game}}}/powersets/{{{Archetype}}}_{{{Type}}}/{{{Power}}} {{PAGENAME}}]

I discovered this on Force Fields when adding Mastermind information. As such, that is currently the only page that uses the modification I made.--Konoko 04:26, 26 May 2006 (PDT)

Just a reminder, you have to watch out when making such a change to a template. While the change was a good one (too bad I didn't realize about the color schemes in the first place), it did break the links on all the pages that used the template. I'm pretty sure I have it all fixed now, so it's all good. --StarGeek 22:17, 28 May 2006 (PDT)

Ancillary Powers

Perhaps I typed something wrong, but it doesn't appear that ancillary power pools link to the right page.

NoFuture's Munitions Mastery Page

Munitions Mastery - our page

Interesting. the Epics have different rules. Think we'll have to create another template. But villains and heroes will be linked VERY differently. --Konoko 20:49, 28 May 2006 (PDT)

The epics stuff has only been recently made available, and wasn't around when I made the template. Also, I think Red is playing around with stuff, so more changes might be coming down the line. --StarGeek 22:14, 28 May 2006 (PDT)
