Variations and Parameters

Include an image of the event by typing the png file into the template like so: |image=<!--png file name-->. In the example, the image used is "Enlightenment.png."

location

The location of the event should be under |location=<!--location in form used below--> in the template. In the example, the location used is "[[Star City (Earth-1)|Star City]]; [[United States (Earth-1)|United States]]."

casualties

The casualties during the event should be entered into the template using |casualties=<!--names--> with <br>'s separating each unique character. In the example, the casualties used is "[[Ralph Dibny]]."

participants

pastevent

If the event was in the past and does not occur yearly, add |pastevent=<!--date of occurrence--> in the template. This parameter cannot be used simultaneously with the yearlyevent parameter. In the example, the pastevent used is "October 31, 2024."

yearlyevent

If the event occurs yearly, add |yearlyevent=<!--date of occurrence--> in the template. This parameter cannot be used simultaneously with the pastevent parameter. In the example, the yearlyevent used is "January 14."

show

Location Format

The format of any location on the wiki should be two known quantities separated by a semi-colon. (If only one quantity is known, then we only add one.) The two most local locations should be used. The ordering of locality is like this

  • Building
  • City
  • State
  • Country
  • Continent
  • Planet
  • Universe
