Template:Infobox main/doc

Intro

Template:Infobox main Is the core of what powers the SemanticMediaWiki database of rimworld objects. Since the template is so complex, it's worth taking a step back and summarizing what this template does:

Takes in facts: On each page which describes an in-game object, we call {{infobox main | ...}}, where ... is a very long list of parameters describing the object in question, including its name, type, the cost to make it, and a bunch of other things
Rendering an infobox: This template takes those parameters and presents them in a nice looking infobox on the right side of the page. If you add a param |marketvalue = 200, this template will add a line to the infobox showing the market value annotated with a silver icon. Cool!
Setting SMW properties: The real magic comes from this templates ability to also set SMW properties. If the |marketvalue = 200 param is present, this template will also set a SMW property 'Market Value Base' equal to 200 for whatever page the infobox was called on.

As an example, say there was an Page called "Foo" for an in-game object with the same name. In-game, a foo has a market value of 200. When you invoke {{infobox main | ... | marketvalue = 200 | ..., this template will set the 'Market Value Base' property of the 'Foo' page to 200.

These properties can then be retrieved using a snippet like {{#show:Foo|?Market Value Base}}. You can browse the properties for a given page by clicking the "Browse properties" link on the left side of the page. For an example, see Special:Browse/:Duster

Positional parameters

This template also takes 4 positional parameters, though I need to spend more time confirming what they do:

Changes the color of the box depending on the category of thing
???
???
Overly clever use of the size parameter. The usual format is |size = X|Y. This then gets transformed into x * y. BUT it only works if you have 3 positional parameters prior to the first param. This is way overly clever and should be cleaned up.

Usage

Everything is optional for the template to function; however, relevant sections should be filled in for the sake of completeness. The information displayed is dependent on which category is used, and will not be displayed unless a value is provided.

You can add a "name" and "image". Fill these values if the PAGENAME macro is not adequate (if the page name has a disambig qualifier for example)
