Template:Infobox appearance: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 04:09, 6 March 2024

Infobox usage: The example infobox shown on this page is the result of the following template call (modulo page name and categories):

{{infobox appearance
|event-series=Games Done Quick Express
|date=2023-10-22
|location=Las Vegas, USA [[Category:North_American_convention_appearances]]
|charities=[[The AbleGamers Foundation]]
|replay-devices=[[TAStm32]]
}}

Parameters:

name (optional): Top header text. Also used as key for prev/next lookups. Defaults to page title if omitted, though unfortunately it doesn't respect DISPLAYTITLE.
image (optional): Filename for image.
event-series (optional): Name of category page for event, omitting Category: and using spaces, not underscores.
date: The (start) date of the event, or the first day TASBot / TAS content was shown if it wasn't for the whole thing. Accepts many formats but please use YYYY-MM-DD.
end-date (optional): The end date of the event if it spanned multiple days (as with date, this should be the last day TASBot / TAS content was shown). Same big-endian format please.
location (optional): Event venue.
charities (optional): Beneficiaries of the event (can pass wikitext).
replay-devices (optional): HW/SW that was used for live TAS playback (can pass wikitext).

Using this template on a page will add that page to the relevant appearances by year category. If event-series is set, will also add it to that category.

The below documentation is automatically generated from JSON.
It can be changed by editing this page, but note that it's only the documentation (for the visual editor)—the actual template part must also be edited, manually.

An infobox for pages dedicated to event appearances/presentations, such as a speedrunning marathon in some year X.
