Template:Event/doc

This template produces an infobox for an article about an event in the Forgotten Realms. All parameters except name are optional and if left undefined they will not appear. Any image will be resized to fit the infobox. Conflict is a pass-through to this template that uses a subset of the parameters, so see that template's documentation for proper usage. Only the non-conflict parameters are shown here.

 * histrefs : Optional. Put &lt;ref&gt; tags for the History section here so they don't clutter up the data fields.
