Template:Infobox Tool/doc

This is the documentation subpage for Template:Infobox Tool. It holds usage notes, parameters and examples, and is transcluded onto the template page itself. Edit the documentation here; edit the template's code on the template page.

Infobox for tools — pickaxes, gloves, fishing rods, hacking tools, hoes and spiles. Gear uses {{Infobox Gear}} . Parameter names are the game's own database keys.

Rules that are easy to get wrong

Tools are craft-only. They never drop from dungeons and never roll bonus stats, so a tool page has no Possible rolls section and this template has no rolls, legendary or craftable parameter. Typing one does nothing.
Tools do not use the gear stat parameters. A tool has base_power and crit_chance and nothing else. power, attack_speed and the rest are ignored here.
tier is required — it is what the template uses to say which gathering nodes the tool works, and a blank tier stamps Category:Pages missing data

.

Capitalise activity exactly — Mining, Foraging, Fishing, Hacking, Farming. The value is used as a link and built into the category name, so a lower-case value creates a broken duplicate category.
skill is rendered as a link, and skill_level shows ? if you leave it blank — fill it in or leave both out.
Tool icons are 32×32 PNGs (gear icons are 16×16), named <Page title> icon.png.

Categories it applies

Automatic, in article space only: Category:Tools , Tools - activity, Tier N Items, and Category:Craftable Items

— that last one unconditionally, because every tool is crafted. Plus Category:Pages needing an image
when image is blank and Category:Pages missing data
when name or tier is.

For the page around the infobox, see Wiki:Item page guide.

Infobox for gathering tools. Craft-only: no roll or legendary parameters.
