 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:InfoBoxStory. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template may be suitable for conversion to use {{Infobox}} as a base. |
Purpose[edit]
This template is only to be used for stories which are part of another product (e.g. included in a rulebook). Stories that constitute products of their own (e.g. novels or BattleCorps publications) must use Template:InfoBoxProduct instead.
Usage[edit]
Copy and paste the following code into the top of the article, filling the appropriate fields. If a field is unknown, leave it blank. For the image field, just the name of the image is sufficient. e.g., Example.jpg, Example.png, etc.
{{InfoBoxStory
| image =
| name =
| author =
| pages =
| type =
| product =
| illustrations =
| era =
| agency =
| universedate =
| timeline =
| scrollable timeline = [[Start date::]][[End date::]]
| series =
| precededby =
| followedby =
}}
Explanation[edit]
All entries are optional unless noted as "required" below, meaning that the respective row does not appear if the field is left blank.
- image =
- Front cover of the product
- name =
- The name of the product. If this is left blank, the InfoBox will display the article's name here, so it only needs to be given when there is a difference between story name and article name.
- author =
- pages =
- Use where applicable, i.e. for individual books or files
- type =
- (required) Short Story, Novella, etc.
- product =
- (required) The (article about the) product featuring this story
- illustrations =
- The illustrator(s), if any
- era =
- BattleTech era(s) covered by the story
- agency =
- The in-universe agency releasing the document
- universedate =
- The in-universe date of publication
- timeline =
- Earliest and latest point in the BattleTech timeline described in the story
- scrollable timeline =
- Use exact dates for the first and last entries. These properties can be used to display the dates on a timeline on the Novels page.
- series =
- Series of which the story is part
- precededby =
- Preceding product (in the series or otherwise)
- followedby =
- Following product (in the series or otherwise)
