Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

{{CardTable2}} is used for pages for cards from the Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game (OCG) and Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game (TCG).

Historically, the template has been used for cards from all Yu-Gi-Oh! games and still contains support for a number of video games, which need to be given their own dedicated template.

Parameters

Display

• cardclass: Directly specify the color scheme of the table. This should be used sparingly. See the "color schemes" section for more information.
• image: The page name of the image to be displayed (without the "File:" prefix). If an image is given which has not been uploaded yet, a default card backing will be displayed (See the default image section for more information) with a link to the upload form for the given image name; these pages are also added to Category:Card table transclusions using non-uploaded images. If a card backing image is specified, the page is added to Category:((CardTable2)) transclusions using card backings. Any value given is checked for certain things (mainly embedded image or link syntax, or URLs), and these cases are added to Category:CardTable2 bad image values.
• image2: The page name of an image containing the back of the card. Used for Skill and Tip Cards.

Properties

• name: The card's English name, if different than the page name. e.g. "Jinzo 7" → "Jinzo #7". All uses add the page to Category:Card table parameter tracking (name). If this parameter is used and has the same value as the page's name, the page is added to Category:Pages with an unnecessary name parameter.
• alt_name, alt_name2, alt_name3: Other English names of the card. All uses add the page to Category:Card pages with an alt name.
• card_type: The type of card, used for non-Monster Cards ("Spell", "Trap", "FAQ", "Skill", "Strategy", "Ticket", "Tip").
• property: The Property, for Spell and Trap Cards.
• attribute: The card's Attribute.
• character: The page name of the corresponding character, if a Skill Card.
• types: The card's Types, as they are printed on the card. Each item should be separated by a forward slash. e.g. types = Warrior / Synchro / Effect
• level: The card's Level. Using this for Xyz Monsters will add the page to Category:Xyz Monsters using (((level))).
• rank: The card's Rank. Using this for non-Xyz Monsters will add the page to Category:Non-Xyz Monsters using (((rank))).
• link_arrows: Comma-separated list of positions of the card's Link Arrows. The amount of items listed will also dictate the card's Link Rating.
• pendulum_scale: The card's Pendulum Scale.
• maximum_atk: The card's MAXIMUM ATK.
• atk: The card's ATK.
• def: The card's DEF.
• password: The card's password. If the card has never been printed with a password, this should be set to none (this will add the page to Category:Cards printed without a password). If no password is given, or the given password is invalid (if it is not exactly 8 digits long, or has any non-numeric characters), the page is added to Category:Cards needing a password. If there is no redirect from the given password, the page is added to Category:Cards needing a password redirect.
• limitation_text: The card's limitation text.
• ritualcard: The Ritual Spell Card needed to Summon the card.
• ritualmonster: The Ritual Monster Summoned by the card.
• summoned_by: Card used to Summon the monster, if a Monster Token.
• source_card: The non-Skill Card that the Skill Card is based on.
• lore: The text printed on the card, either a card description or effect text. If the card was printed without any lore, this should be set to none (which will add the page to Category:Cards printed without a lore).
• pendulum_effect: The text printed on the card, describing its Pendulum Monster effect.
• skill_activation: The activation requirement, printed on Skill Cards.
• use: The purpose of the card, if a non-game card whose purpose is not otherwise clear. All pages using this parameter are added to Category:Card table parameter tracking (use).
• effect_types: A comma-separated list of the card's effect types. Pages which should have this parameter (Effect Monsters, Spell/Trap Cards, etc.), but do not, are added to Category:Cards needing effect_types.
• database_id: The ID number of the card in Konami's database. If the card is not included in Konami's database, this should be set to none (this will add the page to Category:Cards without a Yugioh-Card database ID). If an invalid ID is given (if it is non-numeric), the page is added to Category:Pages with an invalid Yugioh-Card database ID. If no ID is given, and none is not used, the page is added to Category:Card pages needing a Yugioh-Card database ID. If there is no redirect from the given ID, the page is added to Category:Cards needing a database ID redirect.

Statuses

Using any of these will add the page to Category:Cards with a manual status. If one of these is used without a value, the page will be added to Category:((CardTable2)) transclusions with an unnecessary status parameter.

• ocg_status: The card's status in the OCG. Defaults to the card's status in the current OCG Forbidden & Limited List; this parameter should only be added if the card is not yet released or legal.
• tcg_status: The card's status in the TCG Advanced Format. Defaults to the card's status in the current TCG Forbidden & Limited List; this parameter should only be added if the card is not yet released or legal.
• tcg_speed_duel_status: The card's status in TCG Speed Duels. This parameter should be used for all Speed Duel-legal cards.

Search categories

Each of these should be a bulleted list of page names:

• archseries: archetypes or series that the card is a member of.
• supports_archetypes: archetypes that the card directly supports.
• anti-supports_archetypes: archetypes that the card directly works against.
• related_to_archseries: archetypes that the card is connected to without being a member or directly supporting. e.g. it supports an individual member of the archetype.
• supports
• anti-supports
• action: possible values are listed in Category:"Actions" search category entry pages.
• attack: possible values are listed in Category:"Attack" search category entry pages.
• banished: possible values are listed in Category:"Banishing" search category entry pages.
• counter
• fm_for: cards that list this card by name as Fusion Material.
• sm_for: cards that list this card by name as Synchro Material.
• life_points: possible values are listed in Category:"LP" search category entry pages.
• m/s/t: possible values are listed in Category:"MonsterSpellTrap" search category entry pages.
• stat_change: possible values are listed in Category:"Stats" search category entry pages.
• summoning: possible values are listed in Category:"Summoning" search category entry pages.
• misc: possible values are listed in Category:"Misc" search category entry pages.

Localization

name, lore, pendulum_effect, skill_activation can be prefixed with a language code to specify its text in other languages. e.g. ja_lore for the Japanese lore. If lore is set to none, none of the other lore parameters should be used. Applicable prefixes are as follows ("romanized" prefixes only work for the "name" parameter):

• fr_: French
• de_: German
• it_: Italian
• pt_: Portuguese
• es_: Spanish
• ja_: Japanese
• romaji_: Japanese romanized, using revised Hepburn
• trans_: Japanese translated into English. These should only be used if they differ non-trivially from the English name or lore. Using trans_lore adds the page to Category:Card table transclusions using trans_lore.
• ko_: Korean
• ko_rr_: Korean romanized, using Revised Romanization.
• zh_: Chinese
• zh_pinyin_: Chinese romanized, using Pinyin.

Other localization parameters (using any of these will add the page to Category:Card pages with an alt name).

• ja_alt_name: A second Japanese name for the card.
• ja_alt_romaji: Romanization of the second Japanese name.
• ja_alt_trans: English translation of the second Japanese name.

Links should generally only be added to the English lore, pendulum_effect, and skill_activation parameters (name parameters should never contain links, in any language). Each term should only be linked once, when it first appears in the lore. Where the text is clear, brevity is preferred over avoiding redirects; e.g. [[monster]] instead of [[Monster Card|monster]], [[sent]] instead of [[Send|sent]], [[GY]] instead of [[Graveyard|GY]], [[Life Points]] instead of [[LP|Life Points]], etc (see also wikipedia:WP:NOPIPE). However, note cases where a full link is clearer: [[Add a card|add]] instead of [[add]], [[Main Deck|Deck]] instead of [[Deck]], etc. Piped links to redirects should always be avoided: [[field]] instead of [[Playing Field|field]], etc. Note, though, that pages should not be edited only to change link targets to or from redirects; some other change must be made in the same edit (e.g. updating the search categories or adding a name).

Sets

The values for all sets are to be entered using the following syntax and ordered by release date, from oldest to newest.

Card number 1; Set page name 1; Rarity 1
Card number 2; Set page name 2; Rarity 2

For example:

| na_sets = 
LOB-001; Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon; Ultra Rare
DDS-001; Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories promotional cards; Prismatic Secret Rare
SDK-001; Starter Deck: Kaiba; Ultra Rare

If a card was printed in multiple rarities, all in the same set and with the same card number, the rarities should be included on the same line, separated with commas. For example:

| ja_sets = 
CHIM-JP010; Chaos Impact; Super Rare, Secret Rare, 20th Secret Rare

If a card's rarity is unknown, or if a card has no card number, the value should be left blank, but the semicolon should be included. Similarly, if the card number is unknown, the known portion of the card number may be included, with unknown portions represented with question marks. For example:

| na_sets = 
; Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon; Common
SDK-001; Starter Deck: Kaiba; 
CHIM-EN0??; Chaos Impact; 
????-EN???; Eternity Code; 

There are different parameters for different languages/regions:

• en_sets: English
• na_sets: North American English
• eu_sets: European English
• au_sets: Australian English
• fr_sets: French
• fc_sets: French-Canadian
• de_sets: German
• it_sets: Italian
• pt_sets: Portuguese
• sp_sets: Spanish
• jp_sets: Japanese
• ja_sets: Japanese-Asian
• ae_sets: Asian-English
• tc_sets: Traditional Chinese
• sc_sets: Simplified Chinese
• kr_sets: Korean

For convenience, ko_sets is supported as an alternative to kr_sets, and es_sets as an alternative to sp_sets, but these are considered errors, and the page will be added to Category:Card table transclusions using ko_sets or Category:Card table transclusions using es_sets, respectively.

Color schemes

The logic for determining the color scheme is as follows. If a condition is met, that color scheme is used. If not, the next condition is checked.

1. If the cardclass parameter is used, it will dictate the color scheme. Any value from the "Name" column in the table below can be used for this parameter. Cards using this parameter are tracked in Category:CardTable2 parameter tracking (cardclass).
2. If the card is a Monster Card with "Token" at the end of its name, the token color scheme will be used.
3. If the card_type parameter is used, the color scheme associated with the card type will be used. (See the "Use" column in the table below to find the card type.)
4. If the second item in the types parameter is any of "Normal", "Effect", "Fusion", "Link", "Ritual", "Synchro", "Token", or "Xyz", the color scheme associated with the monster type will be used. (See the "Use" column.)
5. If a third item is used in the types parameter, the color scheme associated with its value is used. (See the "Use" column.)
6. If the template identifies the card as a Monster Card and the effect_types parameter is used or the card has an Ability in its types parameters, the effect color scheme will be used. Cards will be added to the Category:Colors assumed without using the Type string category, in this scenario.
7. If the template identifies the card as a Monster Card, the normal color scheme will be used. Cards will be added to the Category:Colors assumed without using the Type string category, in this scenario.
8. The blank color scheme is used by default.

The pendulum color scheme is used on top of one of the other color schemes, if the pendulum_scale, pendulum_effect or pendulum_effect_types parameters or any of their localized equivalents are used.

			Certain cards, not adhering to a standard color scheme	"The Winged Dragon of Ra (original)"
blue	Blue (same style as "ritual")	Blue (same style as "ritual")	Certain cards, not adhering to a standard color scheme	"Obelisk the Tormentor (original)"
pendulum	None	Adds a green gradient on top of another color scheme. This scheme is not to be used by itself.	Pendulum Monster	"Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon"
blank	Light gray	Light gray	Default. Used when the card has not been identified as belonging to any other color scheme.	Ideally, no cards should use this. If there are any, they will be listed at Category:Card pages with no color class.

Default image

If the image parameter is unused, empty or contains a non-existent image, the following logic determines which image is shown:

1. If the value of card_type is "Checklist", "FAQ", "Strategy" or "Tip", File:StrategyCard-EN-Back.png is used.
2. If the card uses a sets parameter for any of the TCG regions, File:Back-EN.png is used.
3. If the card uses a Japanese or Chinese sets parameter, File:Back-JP.png is used.
4. If the card uses the kr_sets parameter, File:Back-KR.png is used.
5. Otherwise, File:Back-EN.png is used.

Tracking categories

{{CardTable2}} tracks a number of possible error states and edge cases with categories; many are listed above, and the following are also used.

• Category:CardTable2 transclusions with interesting Types: for card pages which have a value for type which isn't a standard Type.
• Category:Monsters with multiple abilities: for card pages with multiple listed abilities.
• Category:Cards with Pendulum parameters without a Pendulum card type: for cards which use any of the Pendulum-related parameters (e.g. pendulum_scale or de_pendulum_effect) without having Pendulum as any of the type parameters.
• Category:Cards that need an image: for card pages which have no listed image.
• Category:Cards that need a gallery: for card pages which have no corresponding gallery page.
• Missing names, lores, and Skill Activations are tracked per-language:
  • English: Skill activations
  • French: names (non-game cards), lores (non-game cards), Skill activations
  • German: names (non-game cards), lores (non-game cards), Skill activations
  • Italian: names (non-game cards), lores (non-game cards), Skill activations
  • Japanese: names (non-game cards), lores (non-game cards)
  • Korean: names (non-game cards), lores (non-game cards)
  • Portuguese: names (non-game cards), lores (non-game cards), Skill activations
  • Spanish: names (non-game cards), lores (non-game cards), Skill activations
  • Simplified Chinese: names (non-game cards), lores (non-game cards)
• Cards without any sets listed for a given region are tracked per-region: Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish

Deprecated parameters

Parameters still in use, but should be removed in the near future.

Video game parameters

See also: User:Dinoguy1000/CT2 vg

A number of parameters for video game data remain; these will be gradually removed as the games get dedicated card templates and card pages are split.

Any page using video-game-specific parameters is added to Category:((CardTable2)) transclusions with video game parameters and pages using a video game image are added to Category:((CardTable2)) transclusions using video game images. Categories are also added for each video game the card has parameters or an image for:

Duel Arena

dar_lore, Duel Arena images.

Nightmare Troubadour

ntr_name.

Online

ygo_lore, ygo_sets.

Spirit Caller

gx03_name, gx03_sets, gx03_status.
