Template:Pw

(Powerword: {{{name}}})

Usage

This template is an inline-infobox-like template, which can include a person's name, aliases (online screen names), and their date of birth, if known. The purpose of this template is for consistent formatting; EDiots tend to be inconsistent in their formatting when recording an article subject's information.

Parameters

This template has 4 parameters available for use, three of which are optional.

• name= - The name of the individual. This should contain both their first and last names; middle names are optional. This is the one and only required parameter in this template.
• aka= - Any aliases, sockpuppets, and other online personas the individual is known to go by.
• birth= - If known, the individual's date of birth in the format DMY.
• death= - If known, the individual's date of death in the format DMY. A dagger is displayed just after the individuals death date, as seen with OldDirtyBtard.

Examples:

Example 1: A basic powerword, only using the required name= parameters for an individual whose birth date is unknown, and sadly, who's not already dead:

{{pw|name=matthew moulton}}

Yields:

• (Powerword: matthew moulton)

Example 2: A more complex powerword, using the aka= and birth= parameters to list their aliases and birth date, respectively.

{{pw|name=sherrod degrippo|aka='''Girlvinyl''' and the former admin of ED|birth=5 February 1978}}

Yields:

• (Powerword: sherrod degrippo; born 5 February 1978; also known as Girlvinyl and the former admin of ED)

Example 3: An (even) more complex powerword, using the aka= and birth= parameters, as well as the death= parameter to record their death.

{{pw|name=sean casarov|aka='''[[OldDirtyBtard]]'''|birth=17 November 1961|death=30 October 2010}}

Yields:

• (Powerword: sean casarov; born 17 November 1961- died 30 October 2010^†; also known as OldDirtyBtard)

Notes & Documentation

• Although this template is meant to reduce the amount of typing and promote consistent formatting throughout articles, some stuff such as the date formatting, still needs to be typed out manually by hand. Ideally, for birth and death dates, the format should be DAY MONTH YEAR. For example, in this format, the current day is: 19 September 2024.
• Don't worry about capitalization of the powerword; the HTML code for this template automatically capitalizes it. You will, however, need to capitalize the aliases, as these aren't proper nouns and therefore have variable capitalization. The HTML styling code for capitalization is: <font style="text-transform:capitalize">...</font>.
• Each parameter is essentially a string, with no restrictions. Basically, this means that you can put whatever you want inside them, and completely misuse this template like a total retard, if you just so choose to do so.
• Each template field supports interlinks, as seen in the "OldDirtyBtard" example.
• Don't add any unnecessary whitespace to the parameter fields.
