Category:Game icons

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>)".

Note:however, the {{{1}}} parameter cannot be touched, it should always be "{{{1}}}" in the icon templates!

• {{{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

Note:it is strongly recommended to write the abbreviation of the game in the parameter {{{name0}}}

• {{{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.

Note:"addtext={{{addtext|}}}" in the icon templates!

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