Name – Template

⚠

Not currently in use. Awaiting peer review and feedback, before including in {{Command}} and {{Function}} to correct badly formed entries.

Eventually this should replace multiple templates, providing a simple way to organise game naming convention.

Please add any switch cases omitted, or if unsure about how to do it, leave a message on the talk page.

Usage

Takes two parameters

The first parameter is the format request. Either "img", "short" or "long" (the long name is returned by default).

The second parameter is the input string to be verified or corrected.

Will return the input string linked to Naming Conventions if no matches are found.

e.g. {{Game name|long|wjhbvkwfk}} produces "Template:Game name".

Examples

• {{Game name|img|ArmA 2}} produces "Template:Game name"
• {{Game name|short|arma:arc}} produces "Template:Game name" and correctly interprets a possible typo.
• {{Game name|long|ArmA 2: OFP: E}} produces "Template:Game name"
• {{Game name|doesn't actually matter if we want the long name|A1 Zues}} produces "Template:Game name" even though "Zeus" is both spelled incorrectly and is an Arma 3 DLC!

etc. - You get the idea :-)

In other words, it takes a multitude of possible (slightly and wildly incorrect) interpretations (including several possible typos) of how BI games should be named, and returns the conventionally correct version required, depending on circumstance.
