Template:Pagecover/doc

This template is currently under development, and may be changed significantly before completion, or scrapped altogether.
 * Notice

This template adds a large header to a page, incorporating the image and text provided by the editor. The cover can be used in place of an infobox, provided the infobox presents only a limited amount of information.
 * Use

This template may be adapted to more specific uses over time.

The code of the template is provided here, for easy copy-and-paste:

 * Parameters and functions
 *  · Mandatory - The image selected should be close to, if not as large as, 670px (width) by 300px (height). Images smaller than 670 x 300px are stretched to fit, and images larger than 670 x 300px are cropped. The maximum height of the image may need to be adjusted if large amounts of text are included in the Subtitle parameter.
 *  · Optional - The name shown on the title line of the cover can be changed by filling in this parameter. If the parameter is left empty, the name used defaults to the name of the page the template is used on.
 * · Optional - This text appears right-aligned on the top level of the cover, to the left of any game icons (see below). This field can be filled in to describe the type of article the cover is being used on. If left blank, nothing will appear for this parameter.
 * · Optional - This text appears directly below the title line. The text is a larger font size than the text used for.

Additionally, if the template is being used on a page for game features that span multiple titles, game icons can be included, by appending the appropriate vgcode (as found in Template:Era) to the template. This parameter does not have a name. Presently the template can accommodate up to five icons.
