Template:Game color

This template (and its redirect) is  Deprecated. Its use is not recommended and its functionality may be compromised.
You can help our editors by replacing or deleting this template on the Pages that use this template. Once no more pages use this template, it should be Marked for deletion.

Additional notes:
This template is extremely expensive due to a huge #switch statement which uses both countless game names ("Half-Life 2") as well as templates {{hl2}} as guards which means that many, many per-game icon templates are expanded only to return a color value.
Use {{software}} instead: {{hl2|col}} → #E6AC39.

Usage

Game color is a template for accessing unique, predefined colors for games and engine branches documented on the Valve Developer Community, based on feature addition templates. This template returns a hexadecimal color value directly and is intended to be used inside of wiki formatting.

Tip:Every game icon template (such as {{hl2}}, see Category: Game icons) can return its game color using {{hl2|col}} → #E6AC39. This approach is what this template uses. Use that directly wherever possible.

Parameters

• {{{1}}} – The full name or abbreviation of a game. If Template:name exists, {{game color|name}} returns {{name|col}}, otherwise {{{default|#add8e6}}}. Other legal values are: todo, in, only, also, since, removed, not.
• {{{default|#add8e6}}} – The fallback return value if {{{1}}} is invalid.

Examples

{{Game color}}	→	#add8e6	→	Example text
{{Game color|hl2}}	→	#ffcc14	→	Example text
{{Game color|hl2|default=#00ff88}}	→	#ffcc14	→	Example text
