SUGGESTION
Make sure to first read the Dragon Article Model as it outlines the process for creating articles.

DragonBox complex, this means reading it thoroughly might be tedious. Because of this, we recommend picking a Dragon with the same obtainment method from this category's subcategories and then copying its page content and adapting it to create a similar Dragon, the necessary parameters are already selected.


The DragonBox template generates 50% to 100% of Dragon page content, it uses parameters, parameter values, and templates to declare a Dragon's characteristics and the color of the box itself on Dragon pages.

Visit MediaWiki Templates and the Manual of Style for a general understanding of how MediaWiki templates work. If the explanation below is unclear or insufficient, or to suggest modifications, feel free to contact the maintainers of this template, namely Soukupmi.

Calling a template on a page is done by adding the template name between double curly braces: {{DragonBox}}. Note, the term "base value" is used here to represent the stats, characteristics, and attributes a Dragon has at Level 1. These values display on the Base Codex Entry of Dragons housed on islands and not of those just hatched or in the Hatchery.

Parameters

Parameters produce different content depending on their given value. To use a parameter, add it to the template on a new line after a | symbol (e.g., |description). To assign a value to the parameter, add the equals sign = after it, then the desired value (e.g., |description=My description). Note that parameter names and their values are determined by wiki Staff and are usually case-sensitive. See the examples.

"Accepted Values" are values a parameter will respond to, while "Automatic Values" are those automatically used without being specified, unless given a different value when specified, or overridden by other parameters.

|cost=$99.99 {{wp|United States dollar|USD}}
|special=99.99

Important for Dragons that cost real money:

The following article is in development.
The information may be incorrect or incomplete, and may change without warning.

Used to specify the Dragon before the current one, at the start of alphabetical order. E.g., Abyss Dragon's preceeding Dragon would be Zombie Dragon. This allows the list to be navigated in a cyclical fasion. Periodically, these need to be checked, to do so, go to Dragons and scroll down to the section that says Pages in category "Dragons".

Currently, the only Dragon that should have |previous= is:

next

Used to specify the Dragon after the current one, at the end of alphabetical order. E.g., Zombie Dragon's next/following Dragon would be Abyss Dragon. This allows the list to be navigated in a cyclical fasion. Periodically, these need to be checked, to do so, go to Dragons and scroll down to the section that says Pages in category "Dragons".

Currently, the only Dragon that should have |next= is:
