Template:Arch
SummaryEdit
The Arch (short for "Architecture") template allows different text to be used for different architectures defined without having to use cumbersome {{#if:...}} or {{#switch:...}} statements and is intended for pages that get transcluded.
The transcluding page of a page using this template has to define a parmater named "arch". Suggested architecture names are "PC", "PS4" or "Xbox".
ParametersEdit
| Parameter | Scope | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | optional | The default text to display. Can be empty or omitted if nothing should be displayed by default. |
| (Architecture) | optional | Architecture-specific text to display. |
ExamplesEdit
{{Arch||PC=mods}}
{{Arch|Activity Finder|PC=Grouping Tool}}
Example transclusions of a page using this would be
{{Pagename|arch=PC}}
{{Pagename|arch=Xbox}}
{{Pagename|arch=PS4}}
The use of the switch parser function will be shorter however, if several architectures share a longer text that shouldn't be displayed as default. So a switch might be the better choice in this case.
