How To Create A New Icon Template

Template:New_icon is the template that underlies the icon templates. It has five parameters:

• {{{p}}} - the way the icon will be displayed.
  • Do not enter this value if you need a regular icon.
  • Enter 1 to get the name of the game with a link to an article about the game.
  • Enter 2 to get the icon and the name of the game after it.
  • Enter 3 to get the same as in the case of the number 2, but with an additional design.
  • Enter 4 to get the color of the game.

Note:however, the {{{p}}} parameter cannot be touched, it should always be "p={{{p}}}" in the icon template.

• {{{ico}}} - the name of the icon is written here, but only the name itself, without "File:" and square brackets.
• {{{name}}} - link to the game's article, but without the "_".
• {{{suf}}} - the suffix that is added at the end of the link to the article so that you can make links to different languages of the article. Be sure to write ":es" but not "es".

Note:{{{suf}}} should also be "suf={{{suf|}}}" in the icon templates, but after "{{{suf" there should be "|}}}" so that entering this parameter is optional.

• {{{col}}} - the color of the game. If it is not specified, just do not enter this parameter, the standard color will be used: #ADD8E6.

Result

In the end, you should get something like this (Template:Portal2 was taken as an example):

{{New icon|p={{{p}}}|ico=Portal2-16px.png|name=Portal 2|suf={{{suf|}}}|col=#23B1E5}}<noinclude>[[Category:Game icons]]</noinclude>

How To Use

This is how the use of the icon template in articles will look like:

{{portal2}}	→
{{portal2|p=1|suf=:ru}}	→
{{portal2|p=2}}	→
{{portal2|p=3|suf=:ru}}	→
