Template:Sim/doc

Description

The Master Sim infobox template, to be used for the creation of all other single game Sim infobox templates. This is meant to be used by templates; do not use this for individual Sim pages.

Discussion

Discuss the Sim bio templates and Sim page structure at The Sims Wiki talk:Project Sims/Manual of style.

Testing

Use {{Sim/test}} for testing changes before editing {{Sim}}.

1. Make the changes to {{Sim/test}}, add any new parameters to {{Sim1/test}}, {{Sim2/test}} or {{Sim3/test}}
2. Preview the changes on an article page by changing the template to {{SimX/test|...}}.
3. If the code works, copy the test template(s) to the original(s) (use "Show changes" to make sure they are in sync) and update the documentation. If the code does not work return to step one or undo the changes to the test template(s).

Syntax

Only use the parameters needed for that specific template and add any default values, ex. if it is for The Sims 2, give game the value of {{{game|The Sims 2}}}
