Template:Config/sandbox

Template documentation

This template outputs a standardized set of configuration information.

Features

New features in this sandbox version:

• Path to setting
• GameINI counterparts
• Using Template:Config required
  • Handing off table tags for improved editing performance
  • Produces Category:Config template misformatted settings

Issues

• Requires {{#vardefineecho:=|setting=gameini}} for all string-based settings for using equal signs.
• String-based settings need empty equation when ini isn't available.
• Those using decimal will accept "Unlimited" as input.

Example

{{Config/sandbox
|dualcore               = Off
|dualcorenotes          = Show File Select menus properly
}}
