Usage

{{Bob
| noimg=        y
| bobimg=       
| imgwidth=     
| imgcap=       
| border=       
| color=        
| title=        
| aka=          
| dev=          
| pub=          
| system=       
| genre=

    |system=  
    |region=  
    |edition= 
    |date=    
    |code=    
    }}
}}

When creating a page for a game, copy and paste this at the top of the article, edit the right fields and remove arguments that don't belong. To add more releases to the bob, copy this code:

   {{release
    |system=  
    |region=  
    |edition= 
    |date=    
    |code=    
    }}

...paste it underneath the existing {{release}} template, and fill in the relevant fields.

Legend

  • noimg: Use this to omit the title screen, box art or default placeholder entirely. Generally shouldn't be used outside of specific circumstances.
  • bobimg: Image filename (e.g. "Filename.png")
  • imgwidth: Width of the above image, in pixels (e.g. 320px)
  • imgcap: Witty caption for the chosen image, if it exists.
  • border: Use this to change the colour of the border, if you want to theme the bob around a specific game. Hope you know your hex colours!
  • color: Changes the colour of the header text, in case the border colour you've chosen makes it hard to read. Again, hope you know your hex colours!
  • title: The game's title. This will use the page's title if left blank, but you may want to fill this in if the page has disambiguation terms.

  • dev: The game's developer.
  • pub: The game's publisher.

  • version: The current version for the game. If the game was never updated, put 1.00.
  • nochangelog: If the game was never updated, or a changelog hasn't been written yet, use this to omit the "Read more..." link that appears next to the version number.

    • system: The system this release of the game can be played on.
