Template:Building/doc

This is the documentation page for Template:Building.

When it is viewed directly, links using variables may appear broken; do not replace these with hardcoded page names or URLs.

This template removes 20px, scaled by defined size, from the left and bottom of building image files and makes the image link to an anchor within Buildings

Check also that the link points to an actual building anchor, especially when the icon name does not match the in-game name.

For building icons that do not use "Building" in their file name, the icon or icon type can be used, to either set a custom file or to set a different file prefix.

If icon type is set to holding, it will also link to the Holdings page by default unless overwritten with type parameter.
