Usage Sample

The following is an example code that is used to generate the infobox on this page (top right):

{{Infobox Brand
| name             = Example Brand
| logo             = [[File:example_logo.png]]
| brand_operator   = Example operator article
| brand_type       = poker
| website          = http://www.example.com/
| established      = 2010
| accepts_usa      = Yes
| welcome_package  = $200 bonus
| customer_support = +1-800-12-34-56
| live_chat        = [http://www.example.com/livechat Yes]
| support_email    = [mailto:support@example.com support@example.com]
| software         = Example software article
| certifications   = Certification
| po               = visa, mastercard
}}

This template should be used on articles describing an on-line casino brand. See the example brand article.

Usage

Copy a blank version to use. All parameters must be lower case. Some parameter use a space while others use an underscore as shown.

All fields are optional unless marked with a (*). The best practice is to omit any field that you don't use but when a mandatory field is omitted, its label will still display with an empty value.

{{Infobox Brand
| name             = (*)
| logo             = 
| brand_operator   = (*)
| brand_type       = 
| website          = (*)
| established      = (*)
| accepts_usa      = 
| welcome_package  = 
| promotions       = 
| customer_support = (*)
| live_chat        = 
| support_email    = 
| software         = 
| certifications   = 
| po               = 
}}

Usage Tips

Specific

name 

Any text (usually the name) that is displayed above the infobox. If the line (parameter & value) or value is omitted, page name shall be used as the name and thus as the infobox title. If no title is desired, use the special keyword: _BLANK_.

| name = _BLANK_

logo 

To include a logo, first the image needs to be uploaded to the site.
After uploaded, the image page name (e.g., File:image_file_name.png) should be recorded and used as a wiki link as follows:

| logo = [[File:image_file_name.png|300px]]

website 

To have a website as a link include the full URL with the 'http://' prefix:

| website = http://www.example.com/

Other metods to display web links:

Type	to display
[http://www.example.org Text to display]	Text to display
[http://www.example.org]	[1]
http://www.example.org	http://www.example.org

type 

should be one of the following to describe the software type (e.g., casino, poker, bingo, etc.). Use only one of the following key words:

Type	to display
casino	CASINO
poker	POKER
bingo	BINGO
sport	SPORT BETTING
casual	CASUAL GAMES
scratch_cards	SCRATCH CARDS

email 

To have an email as a link use the following examples:

Type	to display
[mailto:support@example.com support@example.com]	support@example.com
[mailto:support@example.com]	[2]
[mailto:support@example.com support email]	support email

po 

A list of available payment options (e.g., visa, mastercard, delta, etc.). Each item is displayed with its icon and linked to a category that includes a short description on it + a list of all brands that except this payment option.

| po = visa, mastercard, delta

Currently, the following payment options are documented:

Payment Option	type	to display
VISA	visa
MasterCard	mastercard
American Express	american express
Visa Electron	visa electron
Ukash	ukash
	unknown

Note: when using a payment option not pre-posted, a 'NO CAT' icon is displayed. To correct that, you'll need to post this new payment option category.

General

Article content 

There is no need to add the wiki syntax for adding the Brand article to its category (i.e., [[Category:Brand]]) as it is done automatically by the Infobox Brand template.

Text fields 

The following fields can include plain text with or without wiki formating tags. for info on wiki formating check the editing help pages.

- established: year available

- accepts_usa: yes or no

- welcome_package: any text

- promotions: any text

- customer_support: any text

- live_chat: if available, link to page

- certifications: any text

links 

For more info on how to enter links (internal, external, email, etc.) check the editing links help page.

DO NOT LINK! 

The following parameters are handled by the template so the link & category are added automatically. Simply put the name as the desired wiki page title and watch the magic.

Note: to use an existing category/article, it is best to copy the title from that page title. The mediawiki is case sensitive so check your spelling.
