Purpose

Attach your article to one (or more) Shard Communities (e.g., Atlantic, Chesapeake, Great Lakes).
Optionally attach your article to a sub-category within that Shard Community (e.g., Atlantic|Guild, Chesapeake|Auction House, Sonoma|Character).

PREVIEW your article before saving! ... the Shard category (and sub-category if entered) will show up at the bottom of your preview. This template also checks if you entered a valid shard name. If not valid, your category at the bottom will show up in the Category Shard template name not recognized.

Usage

Typically place this template on the first line of your article.

{{Shard|shardname|sub=sub-category|ShardLine=OFF}}

where:

shardname (required) is the name of the shard.
sub=sub-category (optional) is a sub-category in the shard community on this wiki.
ShardLine=OFF (optional, ON by default) removes the one-line text showing what shard this article relates to.

Examples

Usage	Syntax	Examples
One shard	{{Shard\|shardname}}	`{{Shard\|Pacific}}`
More than one shard (if article pertains to multiple shards)	{{Shard\|shardname1}}{{Shard\|shardname2}} ... {{Shard\|shardnameN}}	`{{Shard\|Atlantic}}{{Shard\|Europa}}{{Shard\|Sonoma}}`
One shard and a sub-category	{{Shard\|shardname\|sub=sub-category}}	`{{Shard\|Pacific\|<nowiki>sub=Guild}}</nowiki>`
Many variations	`{{Shard\|Pacific\|sub=Guild}}{{Shard\|Pacific\|sub=Auction House}}{{Shard\|Sonoma\|sub=Auction House}}`
