Use this template to add an infobox describing the mod in the upper right corner, and to automatically add the mods category page.

How to use

Just add

{{Mod|Crazy}} 

to a page if you want to list it as being part of the Crazy Cataclysm mod.

Please add the mod template to the bottom of the page, next to any category definitions and headers is preferred. And if the page has a noinclude part, try to put the template in there, otherwise other pages can falsely get the version template included.

Possible arguments

  • 'Boats' - called 'Boats' ingame.
  • 'Folding Parts pack' - called 'Folding Parts pack'.
  • 'Crazy' - Crazy Cataclysm mod.
  • 'PRM' - Pisskop's Rebalancing Mod, called 'PK's Reimagining' ingame.

Additional arguments

There is a secondary argument you can give, this text string will be printed under the mod tag inside the information box. Here is an example how it should be used:

{{mod|Boats|Additional information about this page or modpack}}

This additional argument should only be used sparingly. It is better to add information to the category page to which the link inside the mod box refers.

What not to do

Don't try to keep mod pages up to date for different versions. Always update the wiki for the latest experimental version. Keeping a list of changes is no problem, as long as you use Template:InlineVer to reference to a version, and don't mention versions directly.

Don't add multiple mod templates to one page. A page can only have one mod infobox. (and a ver infobox).
