Wikipedia:WikiProject Scouting/Article incubator/Template:Infobox WorldScouting uniform/doc

This template can be used to display small approximations of a Scout or Guide uniform in an article.

Usage

Note this is best used as a sub-template of an infobox such as {{Infobox WorldScouting}}. See that template for usage details.

To insert a standalone instance of a Scout or Guide uniform on a page, use {{Scout and Guide uniform box}}.

You may specify the optional parameter "filetype" to use a different image format than the default PNG. Setting "filetype = svg" will use SVG files instead. However, you must first ensure that all of the images you want to use exist in a SVG format. Currently, most images only exist as PNG files and will not work with the SVG setting.

Example

{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Scouting/Article incubator/Template:Infobox WorldScouting uniform
|alt        = uniform with khaki short-sleeved button-down shirt, olive shorts, and olive socks with red cuffs
|pattern_ss = _khaki 
|pattern_b  = _mint green
|pattern_ws = _khaki
|pattern_sh = _olive
|pattern_so = _olive-red
|summer    = C3B091 (C3B091 is the hex color code)
|blouse       = 1F24B4
|winter   = C3B091
|shorts     = 808000
|socks      = 808000/FF0000
|title      = summer uniform
}}

The |alt= parameter is for visually impaired readers; see Wikipedia:Alternative text for images. The |pattern_ss= parameter is the pattern modifier for the summer shirt, e.g. "_khaki" would change the shirt to summer uniform shirt khaki.png.

Creating a new pattern

To create a new pattern template follow the examples below. When you have created a new pattern please add it to the list below. Do not create patterns for minor details on a uniform, the template is for showing basic uniform colors. It is not supposed to be an accurate drawing of the uniform.

How to name your file

• Start with Uniform_summer_ / Uniform_blouse_ / Uniform_winter_ as required, and end with .png (lower case).
• Never use the word transparent in your file. All files should have one transparent color.
• Sashes are called colorrightsash (/) or colorleftsash (\).

Make sure to include {{Scout and Guide uniform template}} on the image description page.
