Template:Bestiary/doc
This template can be used for a standardized display of a character's Bestiary entry. It should be transcluded at the end of the Trivia section on every page that deals with a character included in the Bestiary.
Usage
The template has two modes: one for a single Bestiary entry, which will display a single bullet point, and one for multiple entries at once, which will display an entire subsection with a list of entries.
"Single" mode
{{ bestiary | <name of the character> | <entry text> | article = <custom article> }}
- First unnamed parameter
Name of the character whose Bestiary entry is to be displayed. Defaults to the name of the page.
- article
Article to use in front of the character's name. Defaults to "the". Set it to nothing to suppress display of an article altogether.
"Multiple" mode
{{ bestiary | <name of character 1> | <entry text of character 1> | <name of character 2> | <entry text of character 2> | ... }}
- Unnamed parameters
Names of the characters whose entries are to be displayed. The order of the parameters determines the order in the output. The 1st, 3rd, 5th, ... parameters are the character names; the 2nd, 4th, 6th, ... parameters the respective entry texts.
