{{Infobox Magazine/doc}} is the primary template on this wiki for magazines. Typically, it's used for "proper" magazines and not American-style comic books, which tend to use {{Infobox Story}}.
Usage
Copy and paste all of the text below onto whichever article page it is needed for (even if some fields are not needed copy all of the text).
- As of March 2012, this template has no {{{name}}} variable. The title of the infobox is automatically controlled by the template and cannot be overriden. It is always equal to the name of the page for this particular infobox.
- Because T:MAGS standardised the naming of magazine issues in a mathematically useful way, {{{previous issue}}} and {{{next issue}}} can now be calculated automatically. In those rare cases, as with DWMS, when issues are not numbered, you must now use {{{prev override}}} and {{{next override}}} to, well, override the automatic links to the surrounding issues.
- This template's navigation section will always consider an "issue 0" an impossibility. In the unlikely event of an actual issue 0, you'll have to use {{{prev override}}} to create a link to it.
