	<~~pre~~>{{game \| ~~text to transform~~ }}		If you want a different [[Grand Theft Wiki:Games\|game name format]], you can instead use {{template\|id}}, {{template\|long}} or {{template\|condensed}}. Those templates actually use this template to figure out which game is being requested.
	{{game \| ~~gta4~~ }}~~</pre>~~

			===Usage===

			There is 1 parameter. You can input virtually ANY variation on a game name, whether long or short form, or any other incorrect form.

			It will output the short-length game name, such as: <code>GTA III, GTA San Andreas</code>

			To request the short game name for the input "Three" just use:
			<nowiki>{{game \| Three}}</nowiki>

			This will then work out that you mean GTA III and output the correct long name of: {{game\|three}}

New page

This template transforms any format of a game's name (eg: gtavc, gta 3, grand theft auto four) into its proper mid-form name (GTA Vice City, GTA III, GTA IV).

This is designed for templates, where a user could put in a slightly-wrong game name when we want the exact name (for use in links or semantics).

Tho change an input, just pass it as a parameter, one game at a time.
<pre>{{game | text to transform }}
{{game | gta4 }}</pre>

If you're using this in a template, you need to pass the inputted parameter, whether numbered as <nowiki>{{{1}}} or named like {{{game}}}</nowiki>

<pre>{{game | {{{game}}} }}</pre>

And to add links, use this around the template:

<pre>[[{{game | {{{game}}} }}]]</pre>

For multiple games, use this template multiple times. This will NOT work if you try to pass two game names into this template (like <nowiki> {{game |gta 1, gta2}} or {{game | gta 1 | gta 2}}). You need to use the template twice like {{game | gta 1}}, {{game| gta 2}})</nowiki>

If the variable is not found (like "gta mexico") then it will simply return whatever you put in: "gta mexico"
