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.
