Usage

Delivers the icon and/or a link of the game that has this abbreviation. Can also obtain the game color.

This template is based on {{Software}}. Document on how to create the icon templates can be found there.

Important:This template should not be used just because it looks "pretty" compared to a regular link.

Here is a list of the most suitable places:

• The beginning of an article about the software linked to by this template (for example, PUNT);
• Tables with a list of software (such as the list of games released on Source or the Level Design category);
• Discussion page;
• User page.
• In icon-only mode in a in-line list of several games (ex: saying something is (only in ))

Its use anywhere other than as mentioned above is strongly not recommended due to poor page readability (icons and colorful links draw too much attention where it is not needed). Use with extreme caution and ignore the suggested list only when absolutely necessary.

Todo: Describe in more detail the reasons for such restrictions and also add to the list above, if necessary.

Parameters

• {{{1}}} – Optional: The representation, see the examples below. Can be set to: bold, 1, 1.bold, 2, 2.bold, 3, 3.1, 4, 4.1, in, also, only, since, removed, not, name, ico, link, col;
• {{{nt}}} – Optional: This option allows you to select a custom game and software name if it is specified in the template. 0 is most often a game abbreviation. You can click on "Edit" to view the available game/software names. Support both text and numbers, aswell as spacing between text/numbers.
• {{{addtext}}} – Optional: If {{{1}}} is set to in, also, only, since, removed or not, then the value of this parameter is inserted right after the game icon. Useful for multiple game icons.
• {{{link}}} – Optional: If overwritten, the link will lead to another page on this wiki.

Icons

This template now natively supports icons with larger than 16px. The full-res icon (or 32px and higher) will not be sent to client automatically unless the user had a 4K+ or Apple Retina displays, which benefits the most.

For uploading new icons, it is recommended (but not required) that the icon filename should be kept consistent with the template name, followed by the word "icon" (example: File:Hl2 icon.png for {{hl2}}).

Shortcuts

For shortcut names, see the right side of the page, if you don't see a shortcut table, then see this page.

Translations

Translations are handled on the strings page. Others (such as game title/software title, etc...) use #switch parser.

{{{suf}}} parameters used for translations have been deprecated, it has been changed and moved to the strings page which are loaded by the {{Language}} Template, but are currently being used in some pages for many reasons.
