Template:Role

Summary

This template is used to place a box on the right side of role pages with information pertaining to the role. The box displays the following information:

• the aliases the role may have
• the alignment(s) of the role
• the type of the role
• the phase the role submits their choice, if any

If writing a page about a new role, consider using {{RolePage}}, to generate the entire page rather than just the infobox.

Syntax

{{role
|name_override=
|image=
|alias= 
|align= 
|color=
|type= 
|choice= 
|status= 
|notes= 
}}

Parameters

{{{name_override}}}

the name of the role, if it differs from the page name

note: this parameter is optional

{{{image}}}

the image for this role

note: this parameter is optional

{{{color}}}

the background color for this role

note: this parameter is not finalized. Accepts either a hex code or use one of the following: {{rgb|town}}, {{rgb|mafia}}, {{rgb|werewolf}}, {{rgb|cult}}, {{rgb|self}}.

{{{alias}}}

other names commonly used for this role

roles which have more than one alias should list those aliases using the {{{alias2}}}, {{{alias3}}} parameter(s)

{{{align}}}

the faction in which this role is commonly used

roles which can be used in more than one faction should list those factions using the {{{align2}}}, {{{align3}}} parameter(s)

{{{type}}}

the most common attributes assigned to this role

roles which can be assigned multiple/dual 'types' should list those types using the {{{type2}}} parameter

{{{choice}}}

the phase the role commonly submits their action, if any

roles which can submit their action in multiple/dual phases should list those phases using the {{{choice2}}} parameter

{{{status}}}

what normalcy or notability status a role has.

this should be filled in via {{RolePage}} to add the relevant categories.

{{{notes}}}

this parameter can be used to note anything else that is key to the role which is not covered in the previous parameters

note: this parameter is optional, and should only be used if necessary; the notes section is not used to describe the role, as this information should be included in the wiki page

{{{via_rolepage}}}

should be omitted entirely when {{role}} is used directly; used by {{RolePage}} to track the usage of role templates

{{{demopage}}}

should normally be omitted; setting to Template:Role suppresses all categories

this parameter is used to prevent the template generating categories on things that are not rolepages, e.g. the examples on this page use {{role}} but shouldn't put the page into the role categories as a consequence
