Purpose

  1. Attach your article to one (or more) Shard categories (e.g., Atlantic, Chesapeake, Great Lakes).
  2. Optionally attach your article to a sub-category within that Shard (e.g., Atlantic|Guild, Chesapeake|Auction House, Sonoma|Character).
  • Note that after adding a sub-category, go to the sub-category page you entered and look at the description and it's category at the bottom. The description should have the text [[Category:name of the shard]], e.g., [[Category:Chesapeake]]. If it doesn't, then manually add it; if you don't, the sub-category won't show up in the Shard category list.

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=ON}}

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=ON (optional, OFF by default) adds the one-line of text at top of page 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|sub=Guild}}
Many variations {{Shard|Pacific|sub=Guild}}{{Shard|Pacific|sub=Auction House}}{{Shard|Sonoma|sub=Auction House}}

Usage without sub-category

{{Shard|Arirang}}
{{Shard|Asuka}}
{{Shard|Atlantic}}
{{Shard|Baja}}
{{Shard|Balhae}}
{{Shard|Catskills}}
