Template:Plane/doc

This template is for use in any article about one of the planes of existence in the Forgotten Realms multiverse. All parameters except name are optional and if unspecified they will not appear.

The template has been expanded to separate the three cosmologies into their own tabs in the info box. Parameters are grouped by a suffix: For each cosmology, please chose a type from the list shown below in the Parameters section. For example, the Demonweb Pits were a layer in the Abyss in the Great Wheel cosmology, so, but in the World Axis model, they were a Fiendish Plane, so.
 *   pertains to the Great Wheel cosmology used in 1, 2, and 5 editions.
 *   pertains to the World Axis cosmology used in 4 edition.
 *   pertains to the World Tree cosmology used in 3 edition.

Usage
An example is shown to the right.

Parameters

 * image : Optional. Usually an image depicting the environment of the plane. Just specify the file name. The image will be resized to fit the infobox. For backward compatibility,  and   tags should still work.
 * caption : Optional. A description of the image, if present. This field will be italicized for you.
 * name : Required. The common name for the plane.
 * othernames : Optional. Other names, perhaps former names, for this plane.
 * natives : Optional. Creatures whose natural habitats are found on this plane.
 * languages : Optional. The primary language(s) spoken on this plane.

Traits

 * type-GW : Optional. Great Wheel choices are: Inner Plane, Outer Plane, Energy Plane, Parallel Plane, Material Plane, Anomalous Plane, and Transitive Plane. Other valid choices are: Demiplane, Realm, Divine Realm, Layer, and Unknown.
 * shape-size-GW : Optional. Planes come in many different forms. If the plane has layers, indicate how many here. Other possible values include Finite, Infinite, Self-Contained, and many other descriptive terms as appropriate. Example:.
 * gravity-GW : Optional. Gravity sometimes operates differently on a plane. Possible values include Normal, Light, Heavy, None, Objective Directional, and Subjective Directional.
 * time-GW : Optional. Time sometimes flows differently on a plane. Possible values include Normal, Flowing, Erratic, and Timeless. If it's "Normal", you can leave this blank.
 * morphic-GW : Optional. An indication of how malleable or rigid the matter is that forms planar features. Possible values include Alterable, Static, Highly, Magically, Divinely, and even Sentient.
 * element-energy-GW : Optional. Some planes are influenced by the elements or made up almost entirely of a particular element. These are said to be "Dominant" for that element. Possible values include Air-Dominant, Earth-Dominant, Fire-Dominant, Water-Dominant, Negative-Dominant, and Positive-Dominant with either a minor or major degree of influence.
 * alignment-GW : Optional. Some planes have an alignment which tends to produce and attract creatures of that alignment. Please use the alignment grid for Great Wheel planes.
 * magical-GW : Optional. On some planes, magic works differently than on the Prime Material Plane. Possible values include Normal, Wild, Enhanced, Impeded, Limited, and Dead (for a no-magic zone).
 * layers-GW : Optional. If there is a short list of layer names, you can add them here in a comma-separated list or use  tags. Not for the Abyss.
 * layer-number-GW : Optional. If type-GW is "Layer", and you know the layer's number, put it here as an integer.
 * location-GW : Optional. If this location is contained in something else, indicate it here. Examples: to get a subheading that says "66th layer of the Abyss", set type-GW to "Layer", layer-number-GW to "66", and location-GW to "the Abyss".
 * refs-GW : Optional. You may place  tags here so they don't clutter up the infobox.


 * faith trait : Optional. Deities that reside on a plane often influence the social atmosphere for visitors to a plane. Possible values include None, Mildly Faith-aligned, Strongly Faith-aligned, and the name or names of the deities involved.

Celestial Plane, Fiendish Plane, Neutral Plane, Demiplane, Astral dominion, or Elemental realm.
