User:Aldyron/Sandbox/Template Monster habitat-specific data phantom for single-monster habitat-specific override
|
Proof of concept This page is a mostly-working proof of concept.
It's currently used in: Its name is pedantic but (hopefully) unambiguous, otherwise the author gets confused by similarities with other page names. Should this become a template-namespace page, its name should be shortened to something a little more usable, like, say, "Template:Mhsd phantom for smhso". Or something. |
Usage[edit]
Phantom templates are not for normal use: they are employed by DPL queries to mix, remix and format parameters from its "parent" template and possibly some metadata.
- For the theory, see DPL:Manual - DPL parameters: Controlling output volume - include.
- For the practice, use the search facility on the DPL wiki to search for "phantom".
This phantom template helps build a table of habitat-specific data for one single monster.
It uses several variables initialized by a previous dpl query with default monster data, overriding their values where necessary.
