Template:Software/doc

Template:Software is the template that underlies the icon templates. It has 8 main parameters:

• {{{1}}} - 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 1, but with an additional design.
  • Enter 4 to get the same as in the case of the number 2, but with an additional design.
  • Enter "col" (without quotes) to get the color of the game. This is mainly needed for other templates.
  • Enter "in", "also", "only", "since", "removed" or "not" (without quotes) to get the icon displayed along with additional text, like "(also in <game icon>)".

• {{{ico}}} - the name of the icon is written here, but only the name itself, without "File:" and square brackets.
• {{{link}}} - link to the article, external links do not work. If not used, the link will use the {{{name}}} parameter. Write without the "_".
• {{{name}}} - display name. Write without the "_".
• {{{name<number>}}} - this parameter displays an alternate name based on the {{{nt}}} parameter. You can also make a translated version using the {{{name<number>:<lang_code>}}} parameter

• {{{col}}} - the color of the game. If it is not specified, just do not enter this parameter, the standard color will be used: #ADD8E6.
• {{{addtext}}} - additional text that will be written immediately after the icon. It is mainly needed to add other icons.

• {{{nt}}} - this parameter will be used in the {{{name<number>}}} parameter.

Result

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

{{Documentation|Template:Hl2/doc}}

<onlyinclude><includeonly>{{Software
| {{{1}}}
| ico = Portal2-16px.png
| name = {{Autolang|Portal 2|ko=포탈 2|zh=传送门 2|zh-tw=傳送門 2}}
| col = #23B1E5
| addtext = {{{addtext|}}}
| nt = {{{nt|}}}
}}</includeonly></onlyinclude>
