Template: Format item

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template transforms a given item using a given template.

Usage

{{Format item | item = Item | template = TransformationTemplate | ... }}

TransformationTemplate is called with the parameters that the item has been created with, plus any additional parameters passed to {{Format item}}. Contents of the item take precedence over the additional parameters, unless the parameter name is prepended with "important ". If the parameter name collides with the parameters of {{Format item}} itself, prepend it with "param ". There is no need to combine "param "  and "important ", though.

It is also possible to transform multiple items at once, but not with this template.

Examples

{{Format item | item = {{Item|name=Tom|animal=cat}} | template = Show pet }}	Tom is a cat.
{{Format item | item = {{Item|name=Tom|animal=cat}} | template = Show pet | legs = 4 }}	Tom is a cat with 4 legs.
{{Format item | item = {{Item|name=Tom|animal=cat}} | template = Show pet | param legs = 4 }}	Tom is a cat with 4 legs.
{{Format item | item = {{Item|name=Tom|animal=cat}} | template = Show pet | animal = dog }}	Tom is a cat.
{{Format item | item = {{Item|name=Tom|animal=cat}} | template = Show pet | important animal = dog }}	Tom is a dog.
