User:Leonim/Template:Icon
Description[edit]
This template constructs a framed icon with characteristics dependent upon the parameters.
Inner mechanics[edit]
Here's how this works: if you're lucky, the name of an in-game aspect will have identical names with its article and its corresponding file's name.
In this case, you would just need to provide the parameter i as the name of this in-game aspect and optionally, a size : either by format with the parameter s or in p pixels. In the worst case scenario, parameters f and l override the default image and link. If, however, you don't want to link to an article, provide f instead of i.
Thanks[edit]
- User:Shewmake for the initial design of the Template/Icon, upon which I only added the highlight mechanic and some tailoring to my personal uses.
