Parameters

Setup parameters

name

The displayed title of the infobox. Not necessary for most English pages as the title is collected from the page's name itself. This is also the name displayed in the loadout stats if enabled (overridden by loadout-name). It also overwrites the displaytitle template and changes the article name into the displayed title of the infobox. The following parameters are also aliases for name, and function in the exact same way:

• NAME, title, name-override, item-name-override

type

Changes the display of information and the categorization of the page based on type.

• weapon, cosmetic, taunt, special taunt, action, tool, ingredient

unused

Set to anything to mark the item as "unused". This will hide the "Trading", "Crafting", etc, fields that appear by default, and also removes slot categorization. Also sets slot to "Unknown" if one is not defined.

game

Not necessary for the majority of items. Team Fortress Classic weapon pages need to set this parameter to "tfc".

Image parameters

image

The main infobox image to be displayed directly underneath the title.

Example: File name.png

imagewidth

The width of the image, defaults to 250px. Use this only if the image does not display well at the default size.

Example: 96px

team-colors

Set to "yes" if the item has team-based color variations. The images will be displayed using the syntax "File:RED <Item Name>.png" (where <Item Name> is collected from the page's actual name). This can be overridden with different filenames using skin-image-blu and skin-image-red (see below).

team-colors-width

Sets custom width for the team-based color variation images. Default is 95px.

two-models

On QTF and TFC pages this needs to be defined as "yes". The individual filenames can be defined using QTF-model and TFC-model respectively.

team-colors-class1, team-colors-class2 and team-colors-class3

If item has class specific team colours, specify those classes here. Set to other for "Other classes".

skin-image-blu and skin-image-red

The filenames for team-color images. Overrides defaults (see above).

3d model parameters

For a more complete explanation with examples, see Module:3D viewer advanced.

3d-team

If the weapon has >2 team coloured models set to yes.

3d-alt

If the weapon has alternate models set to yes.

3d-team-alt

If the weapon has both team coloured and non team coloured alt models set to yes.

number-of-3d-team-images

If 3d-team-alt is true set to the number of team coloured models.

number-of-3d-alt-images

If 3d-team-alt is true set to the number of non-team coloured alternate models.

view_nname

The name to display for the _nth 3D image.

view_n

Optional overide for model image filename.

Example: Scattergun 3D temp.jpg

Buy now button parameters

displayed-price

The name of the item to display the price of from the price dictionary, if not the same as the page name.

Kill icon parameters

Main templates: {{Icon killicon}} and {{Kill notice}}

The following parameters can only be used if type has been set to weapon or taunt (see above). Up to 6 of each are allowed.

hide-kill-icon

Setting to off or hide will hide the kill icon section from the infobox, even if type is set to weapon or taunt. Common usage: weapons that do not have a kill icon (e.g. Medi Gun).

kill-icon-_n

The weapon's kill icons. See {{Icon killicon}} for exact naming. By default, kill-icon-1 will be displayed using the page's name; thus in most circumstances, defining kill-icon parameters is not necessary unless the weapon has additional kill icons (e.g. backstab or flaming arrow).

kill-tooltip-_n

The weapons kill icons with an added tooltip (e.g. Flaregun hadouken would have the tooltip "Taunting") . Not a required parameter.

kill-text-_n

The kill text displayed within the kill notice. If it does not display properly (i.e. the text is too big), wrap the text in tags.

Example: FISH KILL!

Information parameters

used-by

The class or classes that can use the item. Basic text parameter. Please use {{Used by}} instead of plain text.

slot [primary, secondary, melee, pda1, pda2]

Can only be defined when type is set to weapon or taunt (see above). Other variations:

• primary: slot1, slot 1, 1
• secondary: slot2, slot 2, 2
• melee: slot3, slot 3, 3
• pda1: pda1, pda 1, disguise kit
• pda2: pda2, pda 2, watch, cloak

This template will also categorize based on these values.

The default text displayed by these values can also be overridden by setting slot to any other specified value.

Example: Secondary
Primary (Crafting)

Note: this behaviour will disable the automatic categorization based on slot types. Categories will need to be applied to the bottom of the article manually.

The custom-slot parameter can also be used when the slot type is non-standard (e.g. if the weapon has both Primary and Secondary slots).

crafting-slot [primary, secondary]

For weapons that have a different crafting slot to their loadout slot.

• primary: slot1, slot 1, 1
• secondary: slot2, slot 3, 3
