Template:Creature Summary

Summary

This template creates an infobox for use on all Creature pages. It includes the appropriate bread crumb trails and categories. It can be used on Morrowind, Tribunal, Bloodmoon, Oblivion, and Shivering Isles pages.

Parameters

Creature Summary

Parameter	Scope	Description
titlename	optional	Creature's name as displayed at the top of the infobox. Generally NOT needed; will default to use PAGENAME. Only needed when pagename contains extra information (i.e., disambiguation).
altname	optional	Creature's name as used in category tags. Generally NOT needed: will default to use PAGENAME. Only needed when the creature's name starts with "The" or "A" to fix the alphabetization of categories.
lorepage	optional	Name of the relevant Lore page to display below the creature's name. Only the page name itself is required, not the Lore: prefix. Note that this works differently from NPC Summary due to the large number of instances where a lore link would be undesirable.
id	required	Creature's base FormID (Oblivion) or editor ID in Morrowind. This parameter may be omitted on Morrowind pages if the ID is the same as the titlename or PAGENAME, but in lower-case.
refid	optional	Creature's reference FormID in Oblivion. Multiple IDs should be separated with a comma outside of Morrowind space. refid and baseid should be used in place of the standard id parameter for any creatures that are unique and therefore have a uniquely defined reference ID.
baseid	optional	Creature's base FormID in Oblivion. Multiple IDs should be separated with a comma outside of Morrowind space.
refidhover baseidhover	optional	Whether hover text should be used. If so, ID format becomes: id1,hover1,id2,hover2.

All three of city, house and loc are not intended to be used together but they are provided as redundant options so that an appropriate place-related box can be created for any creature.
species	optional	Species. If speciescat is not provided species should be a plain word, i.e., not a link. If speciescat is provided, it can be a plain word or a link to the appropriate species page.
speciescat	optional	Species to be used for page's category: not as a link, singular. Generally not needed: will default to use species. Only needed when creature is a non-standard species without a category. Can be set to "none" to prevent any species category from being added to page.
