====================================================================
LIBRARY TEMPLATE: base_infobox
F-classes prevented:
  F2  — icon row never uses {{!}} as a #if separator; {{!}} appears
        ONLY inside [[File:...]]'s internal pipes (the only context
        where MediaWiki expands it correctly).
  F9  — every body row uses PATTERN B: row markers (|-, !, |) are
        OUTSIDE the #if, and only the VALUE is conditionalized.
        Never put |- or an unescaped | inside any {{#if:}} body.
 
Phase 4.5 contract:
  Every template parameter the wiki-builder passes here is a
  pre-resolved string (locale keys resolved, effect templates
  substituted, image res:// paths turned into wiki File: basenames).
  This template never resolves a key, never looks up an image; it
  only formats the values its caller already shaped.
 
Consumes plan.json fields:
  categories[].infobox_fields[]  — one |-..| row per field, in order
                                    (each field's label becomes the
                                    template parameter name)
  categories[].slug_rule          — supplies the bare display name
                                    via {{{name}}} parameter
 
Colors:
  Header/border/background colors come from CSS variables defined in
  MediaWiki:Common.css (--infobox-border / --infobox-bg /
  --infobox-header-bg / --infobox-header-fg). This template ships NO inline
  hex — edit the tokens in Common.css to restyle every infobox at once. When
  Common.css is not loaded (manifest.runtime.css_edit_allowed=false) the
  infobox renders unthemed (default border/no header tint), which is fine.
 
Slots the wiki-builder fills before emit:
  {{display_name}}        (optional) game name in footer
  {{developer_credit}}    (optional) game dev credit
  |-
! Availability
| {{#if:{{{Availability|}}}|{{{Availability}}}|—}}
|-
! Stats
| {{#if:{{{Stats|}}}|{{{Stats}}}|—}}      one Pattern B row per infobox_fields[]
                          entry, in plan order
 
Template parameters (passed by the invoking Module via
{{Template:..|name=...|id=...|icon=...|<Label1>=...|<Label2>=...}}):
  name      reader-facing display name (REQUIRED — header)
  id        internal id, rendered small under name (optional)
  icon      wiki File: basename for the entity icon (optional)
  desc      a short description string, rendered italic under the box
  <Label>    one per infobox_fields[] entry; param name is the plan's
            `field` label (NOT the `source` field name). The renderer
            always emits the row; empty values fall back to em-dash.
 
PATTERN B rule (mandatory; do not deviate):
  |-
  ! <Label>
  | {{#if:{{{<Label>|}}}|{{{<Label>}}}|—}}
 
  The row markers (|-, !, |) are OUTSIDE the #if. Only the VALUE
  inside the cell is conditional. This produces a consistent infobox
  shape on every page; missing data shows an em-dash instead of
  silently vanishing.

'''base_infobox''' — generic library infobox skeleton.
== What this template does ==
 
Renders the infobox panel at the top right of every Character page. You normally never call it by hand: each detail page calls <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Characters|infobox|id=<slug>}}</nowiki></code>, and [[Module:Core]] computes the values from [[Data:Characters.json]] at render time, then passes them to this template as parameters. This template is presentation only — row layout, header color, em-dash fallbacks. To change a VALUE, edit the source Data page; to change WHICH fields are computed, edit Module:Core; to change how the box looks, edit here.
The wiki-builder inserts per-category rows at `|-
! Availability
| {{#if:{{{Availability|}}}|{{{Availability}}}|—}}
|-
! Stats
| {{#if:{{{Stats|}}}|{{{Stats}}}|—}}`. Colors are driven by `--infobox-*` CSS variables in `MediaWiki:Common.css`, not inline hex — see the header comment. Each generated row MUST follow Pattern B (see header comment). Template parameter names are the plan's `field` labels (`Tier`, `Damage`, `Effects`), not the raw `source` field names from the data.


Every row that the builder emits comes from a single `infobox_fields[]` entry in `plan.json`. Importance:
== Parameters ==
* <code>name</code> — display name, shown in the colored header.
* <code>id</code> — the game's internal id, shown small under the icon.
* <code>icon</code> — <code>File:</code> image name for the entity's icon.
* <code>Availability</code>
* <code>Stats</code>


* `must` — always emit row; value defaults to em-dash when missing.
If you add or remove a row here, keep Module:Core's <code>INFOBOX_FIELD_ORDER.Characters</code> list in sync — that list decides which computed values get passed in.
* `optional` — always emit row; value defaults to em-dash when missing. (Same Pattern B shape — uniform infobox shape is more important than hiding rows.)
* `hidden` — do not emit the row at all.


Values arrive pre-resolved from Phase 4.5: no `tr()` calls, no template substitution, no res:// paths. The template just renders what it was passed.
== Row shape ==
Every body row follows this exact shape (keep it when adding rows):
<pre>
|-
! Label
| {{#if:{{{Label|}}}|{{{Label}}}|—}}
</pre>
The row markers (<code>|-</code>, <code>!</code>, <code>|</code>) stay OUTSIDE the <code>#if</code>; only the value is conditional. Missing data then shows an em-dash instead of breaking the table layout.


For boolean-presence fields where the plan wants both states displayed (e.g. "Cursed" vs "Normal"), use <code>boolean_row.wiki</code>. For the icon row, use the snippet at <code>icon_row.wiki</code> — it is the ONLY shape allowed for icon rows.
== Styling ==
Colors come from the site theme tokens (<code>var(--infobox-*, fallback)</code> — defined in [[MediaWiki:Common.css]], with inline fallbacks so the box renders correctly even without site CSS).

What this template does

Renders the infobox panel at the top right of every Character page. You normally never call it by hand: each detail page calls {{#invoke:Characters|infobox|id=<slug>}}, and Module:Core computes the values from Data:Characters.json at render time, then passes them to this template as parameters. This template is presentation only — row layout, header color, em-dash fallbacks. To change a VALUE, edit the source Data page; to change WHICH fields are computed, edit Module:Core; to change how the box looks, edit here.

Parameters

  • name — display name, shown in the colored header.
  • id — the game's internal id, shown small under the icon.
  • icon — File: image name for the entity's icon.
  • Availability
  • Stats

If you add or remove a row here, keep Module:Core's INFOBOX_FIELD_ORDER.Characters list in sync — that list decides which computed values get passed in.

Row shape

Every body row follows this exact shape (keep it when adding rows): 

|-
! Label
| {{#if:{{{Label|}}}|{{{Label}}}|—}}

The row markers (|-, !, |) stay OUTSIDE the #if; only the value is conditional. Missing data then shows an em-dash instead of breaking the table layout.

Styling

Colors come from the site theme tokens (var(--infobox-*, fallback) — defined in MediaWiki:Common.css, with inline fallbacks so the box renders correctly even without site CSS).
