Template:BadgeBox

Documentation

This documentation is transcluded from Template:BadgeBox/doc. (edit | history)

Overview

This template is used to generate a badge box for displaying the badge graphic, badge name, and badge description for a badge.

Usage

Badge data is automatically filled in from the badge article. {{Badge display}} on the badge page provides the data. A combination of {{Image}} and a section with heading "Description" also works, but is deprecated.

{{BadgeBox|Badge Name}}

Note that some badges have a different graphic and/or a different description for heroes and villains. Most badges will work fine automatically (once set up), but some may require additional parameters to get the exact effect you want.

Additionally, you can supply the which= option to specify which of a set of disambig pages to refer to; the which= should refer to the parenthetical after the badge name. Or, you can supply the link= option to specify the exact page title.

{{BadgeBox|Badge Name|which=Type}}

Additionally, you can specify a width for the left using left=. You should provide a number, which will be treated as a width in pixels. This allows a series of badge boxes to line up well.

{{BadgeBox|Badge Name|left=number}}

Additionally, you can supply the monument= option to add additional information after the description, for instance the monument coordinates.

{{BadgeBox|Badge Name|monument=text}}

Limitation

If the data comes from a section with heading "Description", BadgeBox will work only once per badge per page. If you call BadgeBox for the same badge twice on one page, the second BadgeBox will have a page link instead of the description.

If the data comes from {{Badge display}}, this limitation doesn't apply.
