Revision as of 14:48, 9 December 2012

This template offers a multiple choice for defining the race category of a (character) article. It can also automatically categorize a page under that category.

Parameters

1. The selected race from the following values (no parameter name and values are case insensitive):
   • quetch
   • grobo
   • rabbibunny
   • sphero
   • sup
   • franco
   • wannie
   • mosquibee
   • gloum
   • creature*
   • any other (non)empty value defaults to: unknown

• label: *) When choosing "creature", which is generic, a custom label may be used to display between brackets (optional, case sensitive)
• nocat: Whether or not to suppress categorization under the chosen category (defaults to false, which means auto categorization).

Note: more category values should be discussed on the discussion page.

Syntax

{{Infobox Character/race|value}}

Examples

Any of the above values may be used like this:

{{Infobox Character/race|quetch}}

Quetch ^{[list all]}

Or this:

{{Infobox Character/race|rabbibunny}}

Rabbibunny ^{[list all]}

The case of the value is not important:

{{Infobox Character/race|RabbiBUNNY}}

Rabbibunny ^{[list all]}

When choosing a creature, a more specific label may optionally be given as well, but it is case sensitive:

{{Infobox Character/race|creature|label=elf}}

Creature (elf) ^{[list all]}

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

{{Infobox Character/race}}
{{Infobox Character/race|}}
{{Infobox Character/race|human}}
{{Infobox Character/race|none}}
{{Infobox Character/race|alien}}

unknown ^{[list all]}

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

{{Infobox Character/race|quetch|nocat=true}}

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