Template:ArticleIcons/doc

This template is intended for use in most SmashWiki articles. It is used to display a series of icons in the top right corner of the article that quickly point out certain things about its content:

• shows that the article relates to Super Smash Bros. (the series in general).
• denotes that the article relates to Super Smash Bros. (the original, Nintendo 64, game).
• indicates that the article relates to Super Smash Bros. Melee.
• shows that the article relates to Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
• shows that the article relates to Super Smash Bros. 4 (both versions).
• shows that the article relates to Super Smash Bros. 4 (3DS version only).
• shows that the article relates to Super Smash Bros. 4 (Wii U version only).
• means that the article's title is unofficial.
• is how featured articles are marked.
• shows that the page is protected.

Articles may make use of zero, one, many, or all of these icons as necessary.

Usage

The basic template, {{ArticleIcons}}, will not display anything. Parameters are used to tell the template which icons to display:

• allgames or series
• ssb or ssb64
• ssbm or melee
• ssbb or brawl
• ssb4 or ssb4-both
• ssb4-3ds or ssb4-3
• ssb4-wiiu or ssb4-wii-u or ssb4-u
• unofficial (for unofficial lingo)
• fa or featured
• protected

Activating any of these parameters with any argument (such as ssb=y) will show its icon, with pipes (|) between each parameter. Examples:

• {{ArticleIcons|ssb=y}}
• {{ArticleIcons|ssbm=yes|ssbb=yes}}
• {{ArticleIcons|brawl=1|featured=1}}

The order of icons will always be the same, no matter what order they are written in.

Protected icon

The protected icon should be given certain values other than anything generic, such as "y":

• vandalism
• highrisk
• editwar
• preemptive

These values produce different icon colours and rollover text relating to the protection type. If anything else is entered, it is used as a custom reason.

Other features

• The icons link to an appropriate article or category when clicked on.
• Adding the unofficial lingo icon automatically places the article into Category:Unofficial lingo, while the featured article icon puts it in Category:Featured Articles.
