Template:Location/Road/doc

This template is for use in any article about a path, trail, trade route, tunnel, street, avenue, or any other road of note within the Forgotten Realms. This template automatically places the page in Category:Roads and Category:Locations. If a Volo's rating is given, it will also generate a category. The parameter nocat set to "true" will suppress these automatic categories.

All of the parameters are optional. If left undefined, they will not appear or will be filled in with default values.

Be sure to add wiki links within the infobox to articles for relevant topics.

Example
The code below produces the infobox shown to the right:
