List of templates

When you type text in {{these brackets}} then it transcludes a page from the template namespace. Someone might want to edit this page and separate the templates by type.

Help:Adding game data has more information on the basic templates which you need to create a game page.

====Required parameters==== ''There are no required parameters for this template.''

====Optional parameters==== There are two optional parameters for this template.

  • '''desc''' - a brief description of the game which will appear at the top of the page.
  • '''cat''' - one or more categories that the article should be assigned into. Must be fully qualified category statements, e.g. '''<nowiki>[[Category:My category]]</nowiki>'''.
