Template:Building/doc

This template creates an infobox for describing a building or inhabited structure. If the building has a Volo's rating, it will display the coins, tankards, etc. For non-inhabited structures, please use Location.

Usage

 * image : Optional. An image associated with the building.
 * caption : Optional. A caption associated with the image. Only appears if the image parameter is used.
 * name : Required. The name of the building.
 * aliases : Optional. Alternate names for the building.
 * type : Optional. The type of building, such as Inn, Tavern, Temple, or Guildhall.
 * architecture : Optional. The architectural style of the building.
 * floors: Optional. The number of floors. (Feel free to specify basement floors as well.)
 * location : Optional. The geographical location, city, or town the building can be found in.
 * owner : Optional. The owner(s)/proprietor(s) of the building. If a year or range of years when these people owned the establishment is known, that information can be provided as well; Moogooboozoo (1385 DR - 1388 DR), for example. If multiple owners are listed with accompanying years, use the Split table template to separate them; otherwise, simply separate them with a line break (&lt;br /&gt;) command (Moogooboozoo&lt;br /&gt;Zooboogoomoo).
 * staff : Optional. Apart from the owner(s)/proprietor(s) of the building, other staff that runs the place, like maids, barmen or bouncer (Tavern), cashier (shop), etc. If a year or range of years when these staff were part of the establishment is known, that information can be provided as well; Moogooboozoo (1385 DR - 1388 DR), for example. If multiple staff members are listed with accompanying years, use the Split table template to separate them; otherwise, simply separate them with a line break (&lt;br /&gt;) command (Moogooboozoo&lt;br /&gt;Zooboogoomoo).
 * occupants : Optional. Any notable occupants other than the owners/staff, with a date or date range if possible.
 * services : Optional. Any services provided by the staff of the building.
 * worship : Optional. If the building is dedicated to the worship of a particular deity, indicate the deity here.
 * pipes, tankards, coins, and daggers : Optional. If Volothamp Geddarm provided a quality (pipes or tankards, depending on type of building), price (coins), or dangerousness (daggers) rating in one of his many books, indicate so here by entering a value of 1 to 5.
 * quality : Optional. For non-Volo ratings of an establishment. Accepted values for this field are "Poor", "Fair", "Good", and "Excellent".
 * price : Optional. For non-Volo ratings of an establishment. Accepted values for this field are "Cheap", "Moderate", and "Expensive".
 * inhabitants, locations, and organizations : Optional. If set to 'yes' (quotes not included, case sensitive), the template will link to the appropriate category page. For inhabitants, this is Category:Inhabitants of name; for locations, this is Locations in name; for organizations, it is Organizations in name. The parameters usethe and useon can be specified to modify the grammar of the category name. If this is not enough to achieve an appropriate category name, instead of 'yes', insert the FULL name of the category minus the 'Category:' part. For example, if the appropriate category for organizations is Category:Organizations on Evermeet, set this parameter to 'Organizations on Evermeet' (again, without the quotes).
 * usethe : Optional. Modifies the generated category links: Set these to any value (typically yes) if you want the category links to use "the" before the name. E.g., "Locations in the Friendly Arm Inn" instead of "Locations in Friendly Arm Inn".
 * useon : Optional. Modifies the generated category links: Set these to any value (typically yes) if you want the category links to use "on" instead of "in" before the name. E.g., "Locations on Castle Waterdeep" instead of "Locations in Castle Waterdeep".
 * source : Optional. If all of the information used in the template is from a single source, include that information here. Otherwise, use individual in-text citations.
 * page : Optional. The page number(s) or range of pages in the source cited.
