Template:Infobox video game/doc

This is an infobox for video games. It is capable of pulling values from Wikidata when fields are omitted. (See WP:VG/WD for a guide to editing Wikidata.) To prevent Wikidata from pulling data for a field, use the parameter in the template but leave its contents blank.

Usage
All fields are optional. See talk page for examples and standards.

Syntax guide
Note: In the following, plurals such as "developers", "publishers", "artists", etc do not exclude the singular (i.e. "artists", for example, implies "artist or artists"). Similarly, with the credit fields, individual development tasks for one field (e.g. which artists designed characters and which designed concept art; or which writers created story lines and which wrote scripts) should not be mentioned in the infobox but in the article text instead. Individual tasks should be generally kept to prose and the field should only list key people. For example, the distinction between story and script writers of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is mentioned in the article's development section.
