Template:Creature

From MYSTlore

Jump to: navigation, search

This template is an infobox for creatures. It has five parameters:

  • name: The title of the box is the name of the creature. Usually this is the same as the name of the article. When it isn't (like in Dan'ni (frog)), this parameter can be used to set the name manually.
  • sci: The scientific name of the plant. If the plant is not known to the general scientific community, use the DZS's scientific name.
  • age: The name of the age the creature is found in. It creates a link to the age's article and puts the creature's article into the appropriate ecosystem category.
  • ages: If the creature is found in more than one age, use ages instead of age. Never use both. This parameter does not create links or put articles in categories, so you should write the age names inside brackets (ages=[[Edanna]] and [[J'nanin]]) and put the ecosystem categories in the category box.
  • image: An image of the creature. The image's size is set to 180 pixels.
  • caption: The caption for the image.

[edit] Example

{{creature|name=Exploding butterfly|sci=Papilio kadishi|age=Relto|image=ReltoFireworks.jpg|caption=When the '''exploding butterfly''' gets too near the sun, it disintegrates into a colorful cloud of particles.}} yields:

Exploding butterfly
Papilio kadishi
Found in Relto
When the exploding butterfly gets too near the sun, it disintegrates into a colorful cloud of particles.

It would also put the article into Category:Creatures and Category:Relto's ecosystem.
