This template offers the choice to define whether another template is related to any of the games. It can also automatically categorize a page under the related category.

Parameters

1. Whether or not the template is game-related (no parameter name and value is case insensitive):
   • no
   • yes
   • any other (non)empty value defaults to: unknown

• nocat: Whether or not to suppress categorization under the chosen category (defaults to false, which means auto categorization).

Note: eventhough the name of this template implies a default value of "yes", leaving the parameter empty or out resolves to "unknown" instead.

Syntax

{{Infobox Template/gamerelated|value}}

Examples

Common use includes the unnamed parameter with either values "yes" or "no":

{{Infobox Template/gamerelated|yes}}
{{Infobox Template/gamerelated|no}}

Yes ^{[list all]}

No ^{[list all]}

The case of the value is not important:

{{Infobox Template/gamerelated|YES}}

Yes ^{[list all]}

You may leave "gamerelated" undefined (which would raise the Templates of unknown game relation maintenance task) by not specifying any valid value, so these all have the same result:

{{Infobox Template/gamerelated}}
{{Infobox Template/gamerelated|}}
{{Infobox Template/gamerelated|yeah}}
{{Infobox Template/gamerelated|true}}
{{Infobox Template/gamerelated|no, but married!}}
{{Infobox Template/gamerelated|whatever}}
{{Infobox Template/gamerelated|nope?}}
{{Infobox Template/gamerelated|false}}
{{Infobox Template/gamerelated|null}}
{{Infobox Template/gamerelated|zero}}
{{Infobox Template/gamerelated|joystick}}
{{Infobox Template/gamerelated|not}}

unknown ^{[list all]}

The nocat parameter may be used to suppress automatic categorization like this (any value will do):

{{Infobox Template/gamerelated|yes|nocat=true}}

This would render the same result as the first example above, but would not automatically categorize under Category:Game related templates. This feature works both on valid values and the maintenance task mentioned above.
