Template:Flag/doc

This template generates a standardized flag header.

Usage

A separate flag header should be used for each context the flag is used in. Distinct contexts include files and sections where flag usage differs. For example, Type is used in rules(md).ini for SuperWeaponTypes, sound(md).ini for VocTypes, and eva(md).ini for VoxTypes. This ensures that contextual flag usage is documented with accuracy.

This template includes Category:INI Flags automatically.

{{Flag
|name=
|files={{Categ|ini=ini-name}}, ...
|values={{values|value-type}}
|special=
|default=
|extver=
|types={{Categ|section-name}}, ...
|ra2obsolete=
|tsobsolete=
|rponly=
|aresflag=
|hpflag=
|games
}}

Copy-paste the code above and fill out the parameters as follows:

name

The exact name of the flag. Defaults to {{PAGENAME}}.

files

Which file the flag can be used in. Template:Categ, with {{{ini}}} set to the correct ini-name, should be used for consistency. Defaults to {{Categ|ini=rules}}.

values

Possible values the flag accepts. Template:Values should be used for consistency.

special

Special values, if any. For example, −1¹ is a special value for Ammo. This parameter is optional².

default

The default value for the flag. This parameter is optional².

extver

What version of the appropriate EXE extension (Ares or HyperPatch) is required before this flag can be used. This parameter should only be used if rponly, aresflag or hpflag is set to yes.

types

The sections the flag pertains to. Template:Categ should be used for consistency.

games

Which games the flag is parsed in. To select a game, add a parameter in the form of code=yes. For example, yr=yes indicates that the flag is parsed in Yuri's Revenge.

ra2obsolete

If this flag is obsolete in Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge, then add this to include the Obsolete banner.

tsobsolete

Add this one instead of 'ra2obsolete' if the flag is obsolete in Tiberian Sun as well as Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge

rponly

If this is a flag introduced in the RockPatch, add this.

aresflag

If this is a flag introduced in Ares, add this.

hpflag

If this flag is introduced by HyperPatch, add this.
