DocumentationEdit

Syntax: {{RaceIcon|<Race>|<Gender>|<Size>}}

Race (required): Case-insensitive race name to display the icon of. All fully spelled-out races work, blood and night elves have additional aliases (ne, nightelf, Night Elf, be, bloodelf, Blood Elf are all accepted).
Gender (optional; male default): Pass "female" to display the female icon.
Size (optional; small default): Pass "Large" to display a larger icon.

Test VectorsEdit

{{RaceIcon|<Night Elf>}}: (NE shortcut, gender assumption)
{{RaceIcon|<BE>|<Female>}}: (BE shortcut, gender provided)
{{RaceIcon|<orc>|<male>|<large>}}: (case independence, default race case)

CommentsEdit

Boy/GirlEdit

None of the boy/girl parameters work for any race, as seen here it defaults to the Male icon:

{{RaceIcon|<NE>|<Boy>|}}:
{{RaceIcon|<NE>|<Girl>|}}:
{{RaceIcon|<Human>|<Boy>|}}:
{{RaceIcon|<Human>|<Girl>|}}:
{{RaceIcon|<Orc>|<Boy>|}}:
{{RaceIcon|<Orc>|<Girl>|}}:

It's not designed to, you have to use {{RaceIconExt|<Orc Boy>|}}:

Ah, in that case, it should probably be changed on WoWWiki:List of race icons. User:Coobra/Sig3 20:01, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Image links Edit

Should the images perhaps link to the main race topics? We have the ability to use link= now, seems like an appropriate place. Far more useful than linking to the image pages at least. (Also applies to Template talk:RaceIconExt) Kirkburn talk contr 14:56, May 5, 2010 (UTC)
