Template:Rvbchar/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is the template documentation page for {{Rvbchar}}.
It is not intended to be viewed directly. If it uses variables, some links may appear broken. Do not replace these variables with hardcoded page names or URLs.
This template employs some extremely complicated or esoteric features of template syntax.
Please do not attempt to alter it unless you are certain that you understand the setup and are prepared to repair/revert any consequent collateral damage if the results are unexpected. Any experiments should be conducted in the template sandbox or your user space.

This is a template designed to aid in the linking of characters in Red vs Blue. Currently, each character has a section in one of the Red vs Blue characters auxiliary articles, so a proper piped link looks something like [[List of characters in Red vs Blue characters#Lopez|Lopez]]. This is somewhat annoying and error-prone to type out. With this template, you would type {{rvbchar|Lopez}}, which produces Lopez, or {{rvbchar|Lopez|Lopez "la Pesado"}} for a different display text: Lopez "la Pesado".

The exhaustive list of valid characters is:

  • Sarge
  • Simmons
  • Grif
  • Church
  • Donut
  • Tucker
  • Caboose
  • Tex
  • Red Team
  • Blue Team
  • Lopez
  • Chupathingy
  • Sheila
  • Andy
  • Wyoming
  • Doc
  • O'Malley
  • York
  • Gary
  • Alien
  • The Great Destroyer
  • The Red Zealot
  • Grunts
  • Phil
  • Vic
  • Vic Jr.
  • Max Gain
  • Jimmy
  • Mickey
  • Captain Flowers
  • Grif's sister

If an unknown name is given, the template instead degenerates to usage information linking to this documentation page. Bad character names can therefore be detected by checking Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:rvbchar/doc. Any main namespace pages linking here probably contain a bad character name and should be corrected.
