These properties are in general use by multiple categories of pages.
Property:Has canonical name[edit]
- Purpose
- Identifies the in-game name of the subject. Storing this as a property provides a simple, reliable method of creating a link to the page that does not display any disambiguation suffix (the "pipe trick" is often unreliable in templates; it's possible for a subject to exist whose name includes parentheses in-game, thus confusing any method that uses StringFunctions).
- Applies to
- Everything. All infoboxes will set the value as {{{name|{{PAGENAME}}}} since we already use name to define the infobox header on disambiguated pages.
- Has type
- String
- Allows values
