Template:Activate Living

Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible)

This template is used for branches that activate a {{LivingStory}}.
Usage: {{Activate Living|<params>}}

The following parameters are available (note that all of them are case-sensitive):

Image

Image is an optional parameter to specify an image file to use for the template.

For example, {{Activate Living|Story=Remembering Millicent|image=Deportestration}} becomes

A living story will begin soon. (Activates the Living story Remembering Millicent; this message is not displayed.)

Note: The image name automatically has "small.png" appended.

Story

Story is a parameter that specifies which living story is activated, if it's known.

Example: {{Activate Living|Story=Remembering Millicent}} becomes

A living story will begin soon. (Activates the Living story Remembering Millicent; this message is not displayed.)

Unknown

Unknown is a parameter that is used when we know that a living story is activated, but do not yet know what the story is titled. This happens when we observe the activation of a new living story, but the living story has not yet triggered. This parameter suppresses the link that would otherwise be created.

Example: {{Activate Living|Unknown=yes}} becomes

A living story will begin soon. (Activates an unknown Living story; this message is not displayed.)

Display

Usually, the activation message of the living story is not shown. Set Display to yes if it is.

Example: {{Activate Living|Display=yes|Story=Remembering Millicent}} becomes

A living story will begin soon. (Activates the Living story Remembering Millicent)

Message

If Message is given, the contents of it will replace the normal "A living story will begin soon." text. Either Story or Unknown must still be given.

Example: {{Activate Living|Message=All shall be well.|Unknown=yes}} becomes

All shall be well. (Activates an unknown Living story; this message is not displayed.)

Example: {{Activate Living|Message=All shall be well.|Story=Remembering Millicent}} becomes

All shall be well. (Activates the Living story Remembering Millicent; this message is not displayed.)

This template is used for branches that activate a {{LivingStory}}.
