Template:City/doc

From Thadar En
Jump to navigation Jump to search

{{City}} is for use in any article about an active settlement of any size (from Thorp to Metropolis) in the Pathfinder Campaign Setting. Ruins or any other form of uninhabited settlement should be classified as a "location". Nearly all parameters are optional and can be left blank, though it is preferred to include as many as possible; if undefined, these optional parameters will not appear as part of the template. The recommended image size is a width of 250px, so that it will completely fill the infobox without increasing its size.

In certain cases where this template is used for a city-associated element rather than the main city itself, the parenthetical subtitle in the infobox may be changed from "(City)" to a more appropriate alternative title. For example, to change the infobox's parenthetical subtitle to "(City district)", insert the following line into the template. If "(City)" is fine, this change should not be made. 

| ibtype       = City district

This template is based upon the Person Template located at the Forgotten Realms Wiki.

  • Groups (family units or similar)
  • Individuals (small amounts without a shared interest)
  • Singular (1 exists in the location)
government (optional)
The settlement's type of government as defined on pp. 206-207 of the Game Mastery Guide and p. 231 of Ultimate Campaign, and defined as follows:
  • Anarchy (no formal government)
  • Autocracy (rule by single individual chosen by the people)

To find the correct values for latlong just go to the map, right click on the correct point and press "Copy Lat/Long". Setting latlong will also lead to a matching marker on the the map based on the settlement size and if the capital parameter is set to yes. This has a large delay of typically 14 hours for technical reasons.
See also the regionmap parameter for how a map view is generated from these coordinates.
capital (optional)
yes, if this city is the capital of its country.
regionmap (optional)
A map of the countryside surrounding the settlement. This can be an image, which are almost always fan-created (thanks, Aeakett!), or a map template, such as Template:DisplayMap.
If regionmap is not set but there are latlong coordinates, this template automatically generates a map using [1] centered on the city coordinates.
imagesof (optional)
The name of the category that contains images of this city, which appears in the infobox as a link to the category page. For instance, an imagesof value of Korvosa creates a link to Category:Images of Korvosa with the link text "Images of Korvosa". This parameter is case-sensitive. If this parameter is omitted, the infobox uses the article name suffixed by a single "s".
