Replacing a Building, Unit or Structure Template

If you've been asked to change a Building, Unit or Structure template then:

  1. Copy the blank unitbox (below) into the page
  2. Copy the parameter values from the old template to the new UnitBox template code. Please check the defunct template's code to see which value is assigned to which parameter.
    E.g. the following means you should copy whatever value is currently assigned to "function" parameter in the page that uses the old template and assign it to "role" parameter in the new UnitBox template code.
    |role = {{#if:{{{function|}}}|{{{function}}}}}
    You can find the template code below, click the defunct template you've been asked to change:
    1. Building
    2. Unit
    3. Structure
  3. Remove the old template code from the page
  4. Do not remove any blank or unused parameters from the UnitBox template code. This is to expedite any future expansion.
