Template:Infotable

This template is still being finalized, it is not recommended to use it now. You can suggest your ideas on the talk page.

This template creates a small table on the right with all the summary information. For example for "Material Shader parameter" you can do:

{{infotable
|$param
|img=[[File:someparam how it works.png|border|340px]]<br>$someparam in action
|type=s1
|char=P
|default=0
|engine=2
|in={{hl2|since}}
|shader={{ent|LightmappedGeneric}}<br>{{ent|VertexLitGeneric}}
|old={{ent|$olderparam}}
|new={{ent|$newerparam}}
}}

The following describes all the parameters that are available in this template:

Template	Description
{{infotable	The beginning of this template.
| {{{suf}}}	Optional: This is a suffix that will be added to all template elements to display the table in the desired language (if it is translated into it). Also, all template links will lead to the version of the article in the selected language.
| {{{declension}}}	Optional: In some languages, there are difficulties with declension of words, so this parameter will allow you to choose which declension to use (if declension options are specified in the selected language). If you are adding a translation to this template and there is a need to use declensions in your language, then the #default parameter should contain an indefinite declension if possible, and subsequent ones, i.e. 0, 1, 2, etc., should contain other declension variants.
| {{{info}}}	Optional: This parameter displays a small info message above the table. Available options: 0 = Not in the FGD by default. 1 = Not in the game by default, but got left over in the FGD. 2 = This game is available on Steam, but it does not use any of the Source engines.
| {{{infotxt}}}	Optional: Additional text that will be displayed under the text that is displayed by the {{{info}}} parameter. The text depends on the selected value in the {{{info}}} parameter: If {{{info}}} = 0 0 = It should not be put directly in a map. 1 = It should not be put directly in a map. Can only be configured through code. 2 = It should not be put directly in a map. Automatically generated by the game. 3 = It should not be put directly in a map. Doesn't remove itself when picked up. 4 = It should not be put directly in a map. Generated as part of another entity, and does not function on its own. If {{{info}}} = 1 0 = Not available anymore. If {{{info}}} = 2 none If you have entered anything other than the above numbers, it will be displayed instead.

For example, to specify Half-Life 2, enter hl2. If it is specified, then it will be the same as {{{1}}}, but the name on the first line will have a color and an icon, and the name in the table header will also have an icon. if none of the parameters is specified, the page name will be used. Note:If the page name contains additional information, for example, the page is called "$someparam (Source)", then do not remove the "(Source)" part from the article title, but you need to write this element to this template without "(Source)".
