Template:Format run data: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 10:05, 1 August 2024

Calls another template of your choosing with the data about the specified run as template arguments. 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. For example, {{format run data|showcase|SML2 Memory Tour}} produces:

Super Mario Land 2 Memory Tour Showcase
Game(s)	Super Mario Land 2
Platform(s)	Game Boy
Author(s)	link_7777
Lead(s)	dwangoAC
Presenter(s)	dwangoAC, link_7777
Video(s)	TASVideos (YouTube), GDQ (YouTube)

...equivalent to this call:

{{showcase
|anchor=SML2 Memory Tour
|author={{TASVideosU|link_7777}}
|game-name=Super Mario Land 2
|lead=[[dwangoAC]]
|platform=GB
|presenter=dwangoAC, link_7777
|recording={{YouTube video|1GF_LFPz34U|TASVideos (YouTube)}}, {{YouTube video|1=EHfw-BEuRO8?time_continue=429|2=GDQ (YouTube)}}
|run-branch=Memory Tour Showcase
|tasvideos-game=452
|tasvideos-movie-template=TASVideosUF
|tasvideos-movie-value=31714711949576163
}}

This page holds only the data; the specified template (can be in any namespace) must provide the "implementation". Passing e.g. :Page/subpage as the first argument will transclude a main namespace article, as per usual. You can also omit it e.g. {{format run data|2=SML2 Memory Tour}} and it will default to calling {{showcase}}.

Known runs:

The "callback" template can make use of the following parameters:

anchor: (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 {{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 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.

Calls another template of your choosing with the data about the specified run as template arguments.

Template parameters
This template has custom formatting.
Parameter		Description	Type	Status
Callback Template Name	`1`	name of template or article to be transcluded with data as arguments Default showcase	Page name	suggested
Run 'Lookup' ID	`2`	the string that uniquely identifies a particular presentation of a run/playaround	String	required

@@ Line 26: / Line 26: @@
 You can also omit it e.g. <code><nowiki>{{format run data|2=SML2 Memory Tour}}</nowiki></code> and it will default to calling {{t|showcase}}.
-(Omitting the second argument will produce an error, exactly as if you had passed a nonexistent ID.)
