Template:Creature Summary
The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995
Summary[edit]
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[edit]
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. |
