Template:CardTable2/doc

This template is a generic layout for cards from the Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG and TCG, as well as cards from the Bandai and Yu-Gi-Oh! Dungeon Dice Monsters (DDM) games. It is also intended for anime-, manga-, and video game-only cards.

This documentation is not complete; feel free to add any details you can.

Card name
This section deals with adding Card Names from various languages and media. If you add a name that does not exist officially, it should be noted at the top of the page via Unofficial name.


 * name : The card's official English name. The template is set up to automatically pull this from the page's title, so this parameter should be omitted unless the card's name is different from the page name - for instance, for the card "Jinzo #7", since the number sign cannot be used in URLs; or for cards with something in parenthesis following their name because there is another article with the same name as the card, for example "Dark Magician (Arkana)".

Note: Only Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Greek, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish and Thai will be on the main Card Table. The rest are only stored as semantic attributes, but are still fully searchable.
