An all-in-one template for display item name/icon/link.

By default, displays a link to the item and adds an item icon in front of it.

Usage

All parameters are optional. Despite this, some combinations are invalid and may cause errors, e.g. {{item|icons=no|mode=image}}

See examples below for more details.

unnamed parameter 1

Default item display name, link target, and image file name. If unspecified, will try to retrieve it from {{{id}}}.

unnamed Parameter 2

Custom link text, which can include line breaks (<br />) and other wikitext. If an 's', 'es', 'ies' or 'ves' is passed as the custom text, it will be appended to the end of the item name. Pluralism is partially intuitive - adding 's' to Butterfly will return Butterflies. For non-english language, auto translation will be applied.

t

Custom link text, it will override unnamed Parameter 2, and it will be displayed as-is, without plural processing and auto translation.

mode

Display mode. It can be:

  • image(Preferred) or imageonly or onlyimage means only image will be displayed;
  • text(Preferred) or noimage means no image will be displayed;
  • table(Preferred) or 2-cell will output 2 cells code for table. This is roughly a shortcut for {{item|mode=image|itemname}} || {{item|mode=text|itemname}}

Use preferred values as much as possible to get the best performance.

image

image filename, no brackets nor "File:"(must include file extension, eg. Parrot.png).

You can specify multiple images, just separate filenames with slashes(eg. Parrot.png/Parrot (placed).png).

size

Custom graphic size (Read Extended image syntax for details).

You can specify multiple sizes, just separated with slashes(eg. 32px/24x24px).

When multiple images specified:

    • If only one size specified, it will apply to all images
    • if size is less then image, extra images will be displayed as if they don't have size argument
    • if size is more then image, extra sizes will simply be ignored.

And you can append it with *[factor] to scale image, e.g. 24x24px*0.5, 24px*0.5/24px*2 ...

scale

Image(s) will be scaled based on size and scale. e.g. |size=32x32px|scale=0.5 is equal to |size=16x16px. This will multiply with scale factor in size parameter, |size=32x32px*0.5|scale=0.5 is equal to |size=8x8px. scale can be set by options.

maxsize

Image size limit. Using standard image size syntax, eg. 32px/24x24px. will be applied after scale.

ext

image file extension, default is png. Only valid when there is no image input.

link

Custom link target. If blank given(i.e. |link=|), it will be no link(See example below). Note: eicons also will base on link first.

nolink = y/yes

Same as |link=|, only valid when there is no link input. If you use |link=somelink|nolink=y, it will be ignored.

anchor = y/yes

If set, will create an anchor for {{{1}}}.

note

Extra note text. By default, it will be displayed as smaller and gray text between item name and platform icons , and without link on it.

note2

Another note text. By default, it will be displayed as gray txt in normal size, without link, and always take a single line.

bignote

Another note text. It will always be displayed after all other text block.

wrap = y/yes

Only valid when there is no id= or note2= input. If set, platform icons and/or note will be displayed in new line.

icons = n/no/y/yes/<icons content>

n/no=suppresses the platform icons; default is yes; other values will completely override platform icons part, in this case, the value of this parameter should/must usually be {{eicons|...}}, see examples below.

small = y/yes/n/no

Reduces the size of the platform icons (useful when space is an issue). Default is true.

id

Number, will display items(or other type) ID information.

type

the type of ID, case-insensitive, default is item, only valid when id is specified. can be tile, wall, npc, mount, buff, debuff, projectile, or armor. All other values are treated as item.

showid = y/yes/n/no

Explicitly turn on/off id display. Default is on when id is set, off when id is not set. If showid is turned on and id is not set, will auto retrieve id from database (using data templates such as {{itemIdFromName}}, according to value of type).

class

Custom Css class(es). There're some predefined classes for certain formatting purpose(see examples below). You can add yours if needed.

css or style

Custom css style rules.

Transform

You can transform item image via these CSS classes.

The transformation happens at the center of the image and its effective dimensions will retain the original values of the object as if untransformed. So be careful with rotate90 and rotate270.

About Translation

{{item}} is i18n-ready and integrated automatic translation. When translate to other language, It may not require any edit, auto translation will get things done, for example:

Code On English Page On Italian Page
{{item|Golden Chest}} Golden ChestGolden Chest Cassa dorataCassa dorata

if there is still English text, or you want to modify display text, please keep unnamed parameter 1 untouched({{item}} will handle the image and link target), and change unnamed parameter 2, for example:

On English Page On Italian Page Wrong usage
{{item|Copper Ore|Ore}}: Copper OreOre
(links to Copper Ore)
{{item|Copper Ore|Minerale}}: Minerale di rameMinerale
(links to Copper Ore/it)
{{item|Minerale di rame}}: Minerale di rameMinerale di rame
{{item|Minerale di rame|Minerale}}: Minerale di rameMinerale
(image and link are broken.)
