Instructions for {{Infobox Magazine}}
{{Infobox Magazine}} is the primary template on this wiki for magazines. Typically, it's used for any magazine or comic issue that has a number. Titles for such magazines must obey the rules set forth at T:MAGS for this template to work properly.
| Infobox Magazine | ||
|---|---|---|
|
| ||
| Cover date: | Cover date of magazine (Do not put a mere "release" date here. In most circumstances, a "cover date" is equivalent to an indicia date — but this is not true of modern DWM. Again, this field is for cover dates only.) | |
| Format: | Number of pages and style of binding | |
| Editor: | Editor of magazine | |
| Publisher: | Publisher of magazine | |
| Navigation | ||
| ← Previous Generally, navigation happens automatically. However, if you're dealing with a magazine range that does not number its issues sequentially, you'll need to use the variables {{{prev override}}} and {{{next override}}}. | Next → Both are free-form variables that allow you to enter whatever text you choose. Do not override unless it's absolutely necessary. In other words, don't override just to put a fiddly little technical note in. Override only when there's no other way to properly link to the prev/next issue. | |
Usage 
Edit
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 the special issues of DWM, like DWMS Summer 1982, 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.
