Template talk:Infobox Game

When updating this, keep in mind that your changes affect every infobox already in use. If you add a category, that category will show up as a missing symbol in every other infobox. Try to make sure any additions are truly necessary. - brilk 22:29, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Is there a way to make the parameters optional? For example, the infobox for Cardinal Connections has a blank "Mechanics" section, but if you just leave Mechanics out of the infobox markup, it makes it say Mechanics: {{{mechanics}}}. It would be better if it just didn't display that part of the box if there wasn't anything there. Can that be done? --Tophu 21:48, 27 Apr 2005 (GMT)

I don't know. I don't know of any way to do this, but I'm not an expert on the template language. You can prevent it from printing {{{mechanics}}} by including the mechanics parameter and leaving it blank, as follows: mechanics=|, but then you'll still get Mechanics: with a blank field in the infobox. We could also remove mechanics from the infobox template, and let people add it if they want in the footnotes, which is basically an area where you can add extra information to appear after all of the other information in the box. -- Lambda 22:03, 27 Apr 2005 (GMT)
