Usage

[edit source]

Parameters

[edit source]

The order of this list of parameters is meant to match the order they are displayed in the box. You can technically place each parameter in any order you want (as opposed to first, second, third, etc.) in the markup, but it can get confusing as the template is designed to have the values show up only one way.

title
The name of the console. If no value is given, it will default to the name of the page instead, so it's highly recommended to set the parameter yourself.
logo
Should be used for the logo of the console (if it exists). (optional)
logo_size
Set the width of the logo; might be useful for logos that either exceed the size of the infobox, or have a more vertical (and thus uncomfortable) aspect ratio. (optional)
image, image2, image3, image4, image5, image6, image7, image8, image9, and image10
Show console images; the extra numbered parameters exist for cases where there is more than one image, possibly to represent different forms (like Nintendo Switch emulators) or different models (like PC Engine (TurboGrafx-16) emulators). The extras can also be used without the presence of the first image parameter, but this isn't recommended. (optional, but recommended)
image_size, image_size2, image_size3, image_size4, image_size5, image_size6, image_size7, image_size8, image_size9, and image_size10
Sets the width of the images. (optional)

generation
What generation was this console released in? Wikipedia has a comprehensive list, but you can also see our category for consoles. (optional, but recommended)
release_date
The release date or year of the console. (optional, but recommended)
