Template:VgPlatforms/doc

This template is the home of the default data structure for Video Game platforms used by the Module:VgData. This page includes the templating for the video game chart used for Platforms

For example, the code {{#invoke:VgData|main|ct=platform|col=3|DC|DS|GBA|GBC|Wii}} will output the following table:

Video game platforms

DC	Dreamcast	DS	Nintendo DS, DSiWare, iQue DS	GBA	Game Boy Advance, iQue GBA
GBC	Game Boy Color	Wii	Wii, WiiWare, Wii Virtual Console

Parameters

Each parameter must be pipe-separated, and should be listed immediately after {{#invoke:VgData|main|}}. Each parameter is in parameter=value notation. The following supported parameters are used by this template:

• ct : This is used to select the type of table you want to create. This element will always be platform for this table type
• col : This sets the number of column-pairs you want the table to use (setting this to 2 will create a 4 column table). If not included, this value defaults to 3

Terms

After all the parameters come the specific input terms you want to add to the table. The platform table has the most specific terms of the 3 table types. Each term must be pipe-separated, and should have the exact spelling, capitalization, and punctuation to ensure the module outputs correctly. All input terms can be seen in the table at the top of the page.
