TemplateDoc:Rank/H3
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Description[edit]
This template is used as a shorthand to insert a reference to a Halo 3 multiplayer rank. Doing so will automatically generate the rank icon and, if prompted, a link to the rank page and the rank name.
Usage[edit]
Syntax[edit]
To insert this template onto a page, place the following wikitext onto the article.
{{Rank/H3}}
Parameters[edit]
This template accepts four parameters, though only the first one is required. The first is a shortened version of the rank, shown below.
|recruit=Recruit |apprentice=Apprentice |pvt=Private |cpl=Corporal |sgt=Sergeant |lt=Lieutenant |capt=Captain |majr=Major |cmdr=Commander |col=Colonel |brig=Brigadier |gen=General
The second input is a number, used for dictating which grade the rank is levelled at (if relevant). Accepted inputs include;
|1 |2 |3 |4
If you want to link the rank page and display the rank name, you can use one of the two following parameters for the third input;
|grade = Displays the link as Rank, Grade X (X being then number inputted in step two; or none if 1) |G4 = Should only be used if Grade=4. Changes the rank display to the special rank name given at a rank's Grade 4.
Error states[edit]
This template uses the user input to generate the filename based off the ones found here. As such, inputting rank/grade combinations that do not exist will result in the template not displaying properly.
