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

Usage

When first invoked on a character page, it has three numbered mandatory string parameters and multiple 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.
3 is the center of the contact's operations.
c is the contact's Connection.
e is the contact's Expertise.
l is the contact's Loyalty.

It also has three optional parameters

s (default: 0) is the contact's Size.
skills only applies to Service and Legwork Contacts.
name (default: {{PAGENAME}}) overides the text label on the infobox.

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

Returns

{{Contact|Rook|Transportation (Aerospace)|Seattle Metroplex|skills=Things, Stuff|c=3|e=3|l=4|s=0}} returns:

In addition, it adds the page to Contact along with an appropriate subcategory for it's type.
