Template:FactionIcon

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

The FactionIcon template displays a small icon representing a character or creature's faction. It is intended primarily for use in infoboxes and other templates, but may also be used within article text.

{{FactionIcon|faction|size}}

If no size is specified, the icon is displayed at 20 pixels.

Use in an infobox

The template may be passed through another template parameter. For example:

{{NPCBox
|name = Example NPC
|faction = alliance
}}

When used with Template:npcbox, the faction value is passed to this template and the corresponding icon is displayed beside the character's name.

Notes

• Faction identifiers are lowercase and must match one of the accepted values listed above.
• The second parameter should contain only the numerical size. For example, use |32, not |32px.
• If the second parameter is omitted, the icon defaults to 20 pixels.
• Each icon links to the corresponding faction's article.
• An unrecognized or empty faction value produces no output.
