* Added player count, game length, and rule complexity icons |
* Added player count, game length, and rule complexity icons |
||
* Added options for "game_length" |
* Added options for "game_length", "trios", "game_mechanics", "game_status", & "release_year" |
||
* Compressed min & max |
* Compressed min & max player count and min & max playing time to single lines separated by a dash when both variables are defined (note: the variables are still mapped to separate properties, only the infobox display is different) |
||
* Now powered by ParserFunctions and Lua! |
|||
* Added logic to hide most lines when the parameter is left blank (should look cleaner and work better on mobile browsers). Note: due to this coding, the box at right does not show all of the available input parameters. |
|||
** Omitted or empty parameters will be automatically hidden. (looks cleaner) |
|||
* Fixed some of the mapping of input values to semantic properties (now using Lua scripts!) |
|||
** Lua scripts are used to intelligently read certain data rows. (fixes processing errors) |
|||
** "designer", "other_equip", & "game_mechanics" can now accept comma separated lists that will be split into separate multiple values of the same semantic property (better for searching). |

Note: all of the original parameters are included with the exact same variable names as the original infobox. In theory, this template could be swapped with the existing template without breaking anything... however, there is a lot more testing that needs to be done and the design needs to be vetted by the wiki administrators as well as the more senior wiki users. Please do not use this infobox on any of the current game pages. |

Each keyword on the left is used to fill in the appropriate section of the infobox. Please enter your values directly after the equal sign (=) on each row. Feel free to leave some of the parameters blank (as indicated below). If a parameter is omitted or left blank, the related row of the infobox will not be displayed. Note: due to this behavior, not all data rows are shown in the example infobox on this page. order in which data is displayed in the infobox is determined by the template. Rearranging the rows of you inputs will have no affect. |

The following list describes how to set all the values in the info box, from top to bottom. It lists the value to be set and the parameter used to set it, followed by details about what it represents and exactly what needs to be set. |
