Template:SWIA/doc

Usage

Copy the template code below and paste it into the appropriate place in an article. Fill in the required fields plus as many of the optional fields as necessary and remove any that you don't use.

{{SWIA|set=|text=|cardname=|link=}}

The use of unnamed parameters for the set and cardname is deprecated. They are retained for backward compatibility, but will produce hidden tracking categories to determine when they can eventually be removed. New usages of the template should use an explicit |set= and |cardname=.

Required parameters

|set= Name of the collection.
|cardname= Name of the individual pack.
|link= Full URL of the pack's web page. For backward compatibility, |url= also works for this, but is considered deprecated, will produce a tracking category, and will eventually be removed.
For archive options, see Backup links below. Note: the default values for dates are centralized at Module:ArchiveAccess/SWIA. This template will use the default value when omitting archivedate or archiveurl, but either can be provided to override the default value.

Optional parameters

|text= Formatted name of the collection.

Backup links

Instructions for providing a backup link

In accordance with our Sourcing policy, all links to external sites must include a link to a backup version, preferably using Internet Archive. Instances that do not include one of the following parameters will result in the page being placed in the maintenance category. Please only use one of the following parameters.

|archivedate=20250520235914
This parameter uses the timestamp feature of Internet Archive. The URL supplied earlier in the template, along with archivedate, will provide a link to Internet Archive.
|archiveurl=https://archive.is/EfD8P
If Internet Archive does not work for the link in question, you can use archiveurl to provide a full URL to another backup website, such as archive.is.
|archivefile=File:Jon_Favreau_The_Mandalorian.png
If none of the archiving sites work, then provide a link to a screenshot of the page, uploaded to Wookieepedia, as per Wookieepedia:Mofferences/June 29, 2014.
|nobackup=1
If no backup link can be found for content that is no longer available, this parameter can be used. If the content is still available, you can screenshot and upload it to Wookieepedia instead.
|nolive=1
If the original content is no longer available, this parameter can be used, which will make the template add "content now obsolete;" to the citation. This may also mean a backup link can no longer be provided, and therefore may be used as well as |nobackup=1. Some citation templates such as {{SWArchive}} link to older content that is known to be no longer available, and therefore automatically default to |nolive=1 without the need to add the parameter manually.

Note that for citation templates using a central repository (/Archive subpage), archivedate values must be added to the repository, and not on the individual instance of those templates.

Example(s)

Without a link

{{SWIA|set=Stormtroopers Villain Pack|cardname=Vader's Finest}}

Results in:

File:ImperialAssault-Cropped.png Star Wars: Imperial Assault – Stormtroopers Villain Pack (Card: Vader's Finest)

Using central archive repository

{{SWIA|set=Kayn Somos Villain Pack|cardname=Strength of Command|link=https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/17/f3/17f31f3e-1a6d-4f0f-89b5-69314f71e9fc/strength-of-command.png}}
