Description

An infobox for console pages; based on the improved {{Infobox emulator template}}, using a design closely modelled from Wikipedia, but with our own tweaks. Most parameters are optional, and are explained below.

Usage

Parameters

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)

caption

Show a caption below the image(s); describe both images if you use both parameters. (optional)

developer

Who's making the console? If the console was discontinued, then who made the console? (optional, but recommended)

manufacturer

Who's manufacturing the console? If the console was discontinued, then who manufactured the console? (optional, but recommended)

type

What type of console is it? "Home video game console" or "Handheld game console" are the two biggest examples, though you may find "Handheld" game console on pages like Virtual Boy emulators. (optional, but recommended)

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)

discontinued

When was the console discontinued? (optional)

predecessor

What console came before this one? (optional)

successor

What console came after this one? (optional)

emulated

Is this console unofficially emulated? (required)
