View source for Help:Game Templates

Grand Theft Wiki has a number of templates to help give consistency in how games work

===Game ID===
The {{template|id}} template gives you the correct ID for a GTA game, used in all these other templates. 

This means whether someone inputs <code>GTA 4</code> or <code>GTA IV</code> or <code>Grand Theft Auto IV</code> into a template, it will use the id template to translate that into <code>iv</code>. 

The other template can then just supply the correct output for <code>iv</code> and not need to worry about the other permutations.

This means that if someone uses another tmeplate like {{template|icon}}, but supplies a name in any format, it should work. For example, <code><nowiki>{{icon|four}}</nowiki></code> still gives {{icon|four}}.
