Notes

• None of the parameters are required for the template to function correctly- however it will appear as it does at the top of the page if nothing is entered.

• As non-villager/special character cards do not currently (as of Aug. 2, 2015) have their own pages, new pages will need to be created for sibling, boy/girl, NES, design, and music cards. The template will then need to be updated to link to the appropriate section of the relevant page featuring the correct e-card template.

• All of the parameters will not be used at the same time, as some parameters are specific to certain card types.

• gender, clothes, sign, and phrase are limited to cards featuring characters.
• design - Only used to provide name of design on design cards.
• song - Only used to provide name of song on song cards.
• game - Only used to provide name of game on NES or boy/girl cards.
• charcards - Only used to specify the number of players able to play game on boy/girl cards.
• p2line1 & p2line2 - Only used to enter second password on sibling cards.

• The description parameter is used to input the profile info on villager cards, the dialog on sibling cards, the game instructions on boy/girl cards, and Nook's description on NES cards.
• The prevtype and nexttype parameters are used to generate the appropriate icon associated with the type of card preceding or following the current one.

• For villager cards, input the villager's species name.
• For special visitors, input "special".
• Icons have not been created for any other card types but are forthcoming. Watch this space for further instruction.

• The template knows which fields need to be displayed depending on the parameters entered and will generate table elements accordingly.

Update log

Aug. 13, 2016:

• The template will now auto-fill the following parameters based on the value for PAGENAME:

• front
• back
• number
• name
• prevcard
• prevnum
• prevtype
• nextcard
• nextnum
• nexttype

• The parameters can still be used to override default values.
• The template is not currently coded correctly to deal with non-character e-cards (e.g. Town Tune cards etc.) and they will require manual entry.
• Card images and page links for villagers whose wiki page names do not exactly match their card names (e.g. Snooty (villager)) may require manual entry.
• Support for legacy parameters image, type, and password has been dropped and the template will no longer tag pages with Category:Pages with an outdated e-card template.

Aug. 20, 2015:

• The template is designed to work with the previous template/parameters and will tag pages using these depreciated parameters (type & password) with Category:Pages with an outdated e-card template.
• The old type parameter was split into two new parameters: gender and species.

• The password parameter was also split in two (p1line1 & p1line2) so that half of the password would sit on a line, one above the other, making it easier to use in-game.

• The image parameter was replaced with front but will still work on pages using the previous version of the template.
• The e-card portion of Template:Villager Header was incorporated into the bottom of the template to allow for navigation to other pages containing the template.
