User:Leonim/Template:Icon

Description

This template constructs a framed icon with characteristics dependent upon the parameters.

Inner mechanics

Here's how this works: if you're lucky, the name of an in-game aspect will have identical names with its article and its corresponding file's name.

In this case, you would just need to provide the parameter i as the name of this in-game aspect and optionally, a size : either by format with the parameter s or in p pixels. In the worst case scenario, parameters f and l override the default image and link. If, however, you don't want to link to an article, provide f instead of i.

Thanks

• User:Shewmake for the initial design of the Template/Icon, upon which I only added the highlight mechanic and some tailoring to my personal uses.
