Template:Book Header

Due to the sensitive nature of this template and the fact that it is used on a large number of pages, it has been semi-protected to prevent site-wide damage by vandal bots. Editors: In order to minimize the impact on our servers, please use sandboxes to make and test changes to widely used templates before deployment. For more information, please see this article's talk page.

Summary

This template creates the header for a book and adds relevant categories and trail entries. While primarily intended to be used with the various book-related templates like {{Lore Book}} and {{Game Book}}, it can also be used on its own for special cases. Note that unlike the aforementioned templates, Book Header does not alter subsequent formatting.

Parameters

All parameters listed here are automatically inherited from the calling template. It should only be necessary to specify them if calling Book Header directly from a page. The calling template is responsible for saving the data, if necessary—this template only displays and categorizes the information.
