{{Software}}
is the template that underlies the icon templates. It has 8 main parameters:
Parameter | Description | Value & Previews |
---|---|---|
{{{1}}} | The way the icon will be displayed. Displays the icon only when not specified. |
{{{1}}} ► Click "Expand" to see more
{{{1|3-darker}}} ► Half-Life 2 Enter "col" (without quotes) to get the text color of the game/software.
Enter "in", "also", "only", "since", "removed" or "not" (without quotes) to get the icon displayed along with additional text, like "(also in ![]() ![]() |
{{{name}}} | Simply display the name. However this param is also used to add the abbreviation of the game for example (when you create/edit this template).![]() |
Half-Life 2 |
{{{bold}}} | Same as above, with bold text. | Half-Life 2 |
{{{ico}}} | The name of the icon is written here, but only the name itself, without "File:" and square brackets. This same param is also used to display the icon you have specified when you create a new {{Software}} template. If the icon doesn't exist, it simply shows red link. |
Hl2 icon.png |
{{{ico size}}} | Width of the icon. Should be 16px for most icons, unless it's double, like ![]() ![]() |
N/A |
{{{col}}} | The color of the game. If it is not specified, just do not enter this parameter, the standard color will be used: #ADD8E6. It's highly recommended that you use brighter color for better readability with dark/black pages, but not too bright or over-saturated. |
