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

Parameters

  1. The selected type from the following values (no parameter name and values are case insensitive):
    • adventure
    • legend
    • newspaper
    • 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: more category values should be discussed on the discussion page.

Syntax

{{Infobox Story/type|value}}

Examples

Any of the above values may be used like this:

{{Infobox Story/type|adventure}}
{{Infobox Story/type|legend}}
{{Infobox Story/type|newspaper}}
Adventure [list all]
Legend [list all]
Newspaper [list all]


The case of the value is not important:

{{Infobox Story/type|adVENTure}}
Adventure [list all]


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

{{Infobox Story/type}}
{{Infobox Story/type|}}
{{Infobox Story/type|novel}}
{{Infobox Story/type|life}}
{{Infobox Story/type|building}}
unknown [list all]


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

{{Infobox Story/type|adventure|nocat=true}}

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