This template is used in conjunction with {{VGmedia}} to display information about a video game or related medium in a stand-alone list of video game media. Not all parameters will be used. Different combinations of parameters are used to display different formats.
This template employs intricate features of template syntax.
You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages. You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either this template's sandbox, the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here. |
