Card store/doc

Documentation

This template stores data for cards in the Cards table, automatically categories the articles it is used on, and, by default, displays an infobox using {{Card infobox}}.

Important note: This template should only be used on the article specifically for the given card. To display an infobox without storing or automatically categorization, use Card infobox instead.

Usage[]

{{Card store

  |image=
  |faction=
  |flagship=
  |stars=

Parameters[]

name: Optional. Specify only when the card name is different than the article name.
image: The file name of the card image. Don't include the File: namespace prefix.
faction: Optional. Federation or Klingon unless the card is neutral, in which case this need not be specified.
flagship: Optional. Normally only for core cards; don't specify for other cards. Specify the flagship by its article name here.
- Multiple flagships may be specified by separating each with backslashes \.
stars: The rarity of the card as specified by the number of stars in numeric form.
type: The type of the card, typically Crew, Ship, or Event.
species: The species identified on the card, usually below the portrait. Ignored for event cards, required for others.
cost: Optional. The cost in numeric form. Assumes 0 if not specified.
attack: Optional. The attack value of the card in numeric form. Ignored for event cards; for other cards, assumes 0 if not specified.
defense: Optional. The defense value of the card in numeric form. Ignored for event cards; for other cards, assumes 0 if not specified.
mechanics: The card's mechanics, or keywords, identified in the effect.
- Applicable mechanics show up to the side when hovering over them in the deck editor.
- Core cards are more of a judgment call: italicized words are usually apply to the card, but sometimes they just distinguish what the effect applies to rather than the card actually having that mechanic.
- Multiple mechanics should be separated by commas ,.
effect: Optional. The card's effect.
- ParserPower escape sequences are allowed here. The infobox will automatically unescape them, while the text is stored in the Cards table unescaped.
- Please use \n for line breaks, not ^lt;br> or literal new lines, as new lines are not handled the same in every template.
playable: Optional. Assumes yes.
- yes means this card can end up in the player's hand, or otherwise can come under player control, such as a deployed ship.
collectible: Optional. Assumes yes.
- yes means this card can be in a player's deck or is a core card of a playable flagship.
tags: Any words or phrases that convey some useful information about the card. They are stored and can be used as query conditions, and are also shown in the infobox.
- Multiple tags should be separated by commas ,.
hiddentags: Same as tags, and stored in the same field, but aren't shown in the infobox.
Special parameters:
- is_core: Optional and should generally not be used. When not specified, the infobox will automatically determine this by whether a flagship is specified or not. Thus, this should only be used in the unexpected cases that a non-core card has one or more flagships or a core card lacks flagships; then, specify yes or no as appropriate.
- infobox: Optional. Specify no to suppress the infobox.
- categorize: Optional. Specify no to suppress automatic categorization.

Important note: example below shows the output of Card infobox instead to avoid adding an unwanted row to the Cards table, but the visible output is identical to that of {{Card store}}.
