Template:Plant

From MYSTlore

Jump to: navigation, search

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

  • name: The title of the box is the name of the plant. Usually this is the same as the name of the article. When it isn't (like in Great Tree (Riven)), 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 plant is found in. It creates a link to the age's article and puts the plant's article into the appropriate ecosystem category. If there is more than one age or a pipe (|) is used (like in D'ni age|D'ni), use ages.
  • ages: Never use this and age in the same infobox. This parameter does not create links or put articles in categories, so you should write the age names inside brackets (ages=[[Teledahn]], [[D'ni age|D'ni]], [[Edanna]], and [[Riven]]) and put the ecosystem categories in the category box.
  • image: An image of the plant. The image's size is set to 180 pixels.
  • caption: The caption for the image.

[edit] Example

{{plant|name=Pumpkin|sci=Cucurbita salientia|ages=[[D'ni age|D'ni]]|image=Pumpkins.jpg|caption=Though they seem harmless, '''pumpkins''' can jump at people across the neighborhood in a second, rendering their victims unconscious.}} yields:

Pumpkin
Cucurbita salientia
Found in D'ni
Though they seem harmless, pumpkins can jump at people across the neighborhood in a second, rendering their victims unconscious.

It would also put the article into Category:Plants. The editor would have to manually put it into Category:D'ni's ecosystem, because ages doesn't do that.
