Besides the default {{t|showcase}}, there are a couple of other formatter templates for niche use cases:
* [[Runs/row]]
* {{t|format run data meta/run name}}


Calls another template of your choosing with the data about the specified run as template arguments.
A formatter template can make use of the following parameters:
The first parameter to this template is the name of the template to call, and the second is the ID of the run to look up.
<!-- TODO double-check data, then rewrite this to match -->
For example, <code><nowiki>{{format run data|showcase|SML2 Memory Tour}}</nowiki></code> produces:
* <code>anchor</code>: (always present) The same as the page name (spaces, not underscores).<!-- this does work, though I can't see how --> The intention is to also use this as a section <code>id</code>/anchor, as {{t|showcase}} does.
{{format run data|showcase|SML2 Memory Tour}}
...equivalent to this call:
<pre><nowiki>
{{showcase
|anchor=SML2 Memory Tour
|author={{TASVideosU|link_7777}}
|game-name=Super Mario Land 2

This page holds only the [[metawikimedia:Help:Array|data]]; the specified template (can be in any namespace) must provide the "implementation".
Passing e.g. <code>:Page/subpage</code> as the first argument will transclude a main namespace article, as per usual.
 
The "callback" template can make use of the following parameters:
* <code>anchor</code>: (always present) The same ID passed to this template for the lookup. The intention is to use the same ID as a section anchor, as {{t|showcase}} does.
* <code>appearance</code>: (always present) The name of the relevant event appearance page, or the name of a redirect to it.

This is not a template; rather, it serves as documentation and a common parent for a set of related templates, which are listed below. These templates hold data about the various runs showcased by TASBot and friends. They need to be paired with a "callback" template for formatting. See any child page for usage docs.

Known runs:

Besides the default {{showcase}}, there are a couple of other formatter templates for niche use cases:

A formatter template can make use of the following parameters:

  • anchor: (always present) The same as the page name (spaces, not underscores). The intention is to also use this as a section id/anchor, as {{showcase}} does.
  • appearance: (always present) The name of the relevant event appearance page, or the name of a redirect to it.
  • author: (always present) A rich text list of the run/playaround's authors.
  • game-name: (always present) The full name of the game, as plain text.
  • game-pub-year: (always present) The year the game was published, as plain text.
  • lead: (always present) A rich text list of the people who oversaw the presentation at the event.
  • platform: (always present) The mnemonic of the system/platform the game is for (follows BizHawk; see {{TASVideosPF}} for details).
  • presenter: (always present) A rich text list of the people who presented at the event.
  • recording: (always present) A rich text list of links to videos.
  • run-branch: (always present) The 'branch' or 'goal' of the run, e.g. 100%, credits warp, playaround.
  • tasvideos-game: (always present) The game's ID on TASVideos (without the 'G' suffix).
  • tasvideos-movie-template: (always present) The name of one of the {{TASVideos}} family of templates, e.g. TASVideosM.
  • tasvideos-movie-value: (always present) Depending on the value of tasvideos-movie-template:
    • when it's {{TASVideosM}}, this is the run's publication ID on TASVideos (without the 'M' suffix);
    • when it's {{TASVideos}}, this is the relative URI of some page on TASVideos that pertains to this run (i.e. without the https://tasvideos.org prefix);
    • in any case it should be passed on to the template specified by tasvideos-movie-template without processing.

The child templates all call {{format run data meta/base template}} as a single-source-of-truth, should we want to change something later. Their documentation is generated with {{format run data meta/template docs page}}.
