This page is a user-namespaced test. Please don't use it on real pages; it's intended to be moved into place when it's ready.

Purpose

Infobox/Doc by LionsPhil
File:No quest image.svg

This is the template for making a neat infobox for a quest. Docs will follow.

Usage

Parameters (all are optional):

Metadata

title
Title of the quest. Defaults to the current page name; normally you should leave it to do this.
author
Quest author; will be linked to as a wiki node, even if it has whitespace.
image
Quest image, without namespace. Will be thumbnailed to fit.

Threads

thread1…threadN
Post numbers for the threads of the quest.
disthread1…disthreadN
Post numbers for discussion threads.

Special threads

For example, 'April Fool' versions of quests.

specthread1…specthreadN
Post numbers for any 'special' threads.
specthread1board…specthreadNboard
Board for corresponding 'special' thread; defaults to quest.
specthread1name…specthreadNname
Name for corresponding special thread.

Example

A quick reminder of MediaWiki template syntax:

{{InfoboxQuest|author=TestPattern|image=tozol_title.png|thread1=79880|disthread1=316424}}

Maintenance notes

  • Depends on the automatic redirect from /quest/ to /questarch/ for archived threads (semantically, the /quest/ version is considered its canonical URI). This allows the "current thread" to work without having to be flagged as special in any way.
