The basic principle is that the template is a MediaWiki table consisting of a series of rows. Each row is wrapped in an {{code|#if}} statement for each parameter name, which says that if a parameter with that name is given, that row appears and the parameter given is inserted into the row's rightmost column as a variable. This means more properties can be added to this template by copy and pasting the {{code|#if}} statement and adjusting the names. When adding properties to this template, also include them in the example table and syntax below. | |||
Rows with percentages have three columns instead of two, so copy and paste from those instead of any two-columned row. Do ''not'' include a default percentage, as this promotes lazy editing and can include inaccurate information. Headers use {{code|#ifeq}} statements instead of <code>#if</code> statements, so when adding a header, copy and paste the header code. | |||
{{tl|!}}, {{tl|!!}}, and {{tl|!-}} are escape templates that represent {{code|{{!}}}}, {{code|{{!!}}}}, and {{code|{{!}}-}}, respectively. Their purpose is to escape those characters in templates that have tables, because MediaWiki syntax does not support a literal {{code|{{!}}}} symbol in templates that have tables. | |||
