Template:Contact/Documentation: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:03, 31 August 2023

Template:Contact is used on Contact Character pages to identify the type and ratings of a Player Character's Contacts.

When first invoked on a character page, it has two numbered mandatory string parameters and four named mandatory integer parameters.

1 must be the name of a Player Character.
2 must be the contact's type; it will be parsed by Template:SplitP, so parenthetical notations are ignored.
c is the contact's Connection.
e is the contact's Expertise.
l is the contact's Loyalty.
s is the contact's Size.

The second time it is invoked on a page, only l is required — all other parameters flow from the first instance.

{{Contact|Rook|Transportation (Aerospace)|c=3|e=3|l=4|s=0}} returns:
