This is a documentation subpage for Template:Infobox Item.

It contains usage information, categories, and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Template:Infobox Item invokes Module:Infobox Item using Lua.

The standard infobox for an item.

Standard parameters

This templates uses Module:Infobox, and as such the following standard parameters apply.

Versioning

This template supports versioning. To make a versioned infobox, simply add version# parameters, starting at 1 and increasing until all required versioned are covered. The value of the version parameter is the name given to the version, which applies to the button/option to select the version, as well as to any SMW subobjects used.

For example, |version1=used|version2=broken.

Other parameters can (and at least some should) be versioned, and can be done by appending corresponding integers to the parameter name (e.g. |name1=Superior tetsu body|name2=Superior tetsu body (broken)).

If a version name is set to a value that results in an invalid name for a subobject, the subobject name will be modified and Category:Pages with an invalid subobject name will be added to the page.

appliesto

This sets the subobject(s) that the infobox (or current infobox version) should set the parameters into. This is only required when the infobox version name is not the intended destination of semantic properties, or if an unversioned infobox needs to set properties into a specific subobject (e.g. when versioned and unversioned infoboxes (of different types, like Item and Bonuses) are used on the same page).

By default if the page has versions, properties are set into named subobjects, where the names are the version names; if the page does not have versions, the properties are set on to the page itself. Setting an appliesto overrides the default behaviour - the properties will be set to the specified subobjects and only the specified subobjects.

Multiple subobjects can be specified by separating the subobject names with the broken bar ¦ - the properties will be set in all of the subobjects specified.

appliesto can be versioned to change where specific infobox versions set the properties.

dump

If __dump__ is present with any value, rather than displaying the infobox as normal, a string version of the infobox object is dumped to the page. This is for debugging the infobox and should only be used by previewing the page; it should never be saved in a mainspace page. Setting this adds Category:Dumping infoboxes to the page.

Specifically, this applies when the infobox is converted to a string, which will always occur when the module finally returns, but may occur earlier in the code. The object is dumped using mw.dumpObject(box). Dumping will not prevent a script error occuring.

Parameters

name

The name of the item as it appears in game, exactly.

aka

Alternative name of the item. Avoid duplicate and derivative alternates.

image

The inventory icon of the item.

release

Release date of the item as when it became technically available; e.g. the release date of Treasure Hunter items are the date the promo begins, even though they entered the game config earlier.

Format:

|update = [[D MMMM]] [[YYYY]]

update

Name of the update post associated with the item's release. Do not include Update: prefix or square brackets.

Format:

|update = PAGENAME

removal

Date when the item was removed from the game. Only applicable for deleted content; i.e. items that are discontinued but still exist should not use this parameter.

Format:

|removal = [[D MMMM]] [[YYYY]]

removalupdate

Name of the update post associated with the item's removal. Do not include Update: prefix or square brackets.

Format:

|removalupdate = PAGENAME

members

Whether or not this item is members only.

quest

If the item is strictly a quest item, link the quest it is from.

tradeable

Whether or not the item can be traded with other players.

Accepted values (case insensitive):

yes
no
restricted (see: Restricted trade items; aka 1:1)

bankable

Whether or not this item may be banked. This parameter will be hidden unless it is set to no, and should be omitted if unused.

stacksinbank

Whether or not this item will stack with itself when inside the bank. This parameter will be hidden unless it is set to no, and should be omitted if unused.

lendable

Whether or not this item can be lent to other players via the Item Lending system. This parameter will be hidden unless it is set to yes, and should be omitted if unused.

equipable

Whether or not this item can be equipped.

stackable

Whether or not this item will stack in the inventory.

disassembly

Whether or not this item may be disassembled.

Accepted values (case insensitive):

yes (will create a link to the {{Disassemble}} template at #DisassemblyT)
no
restricted (item can only be obtained in a disassembly-free area)
n/a (item no longer exists or is otherwise impossible to obtain)

noteable

Whether or not the item may be turned into a bank note. This parameter will be hidden unless it is set to yes, and should be omitted if unused.

edible

Whether or not the item may be ingested, either as an edible item or a potable beverage. This parameter will be hidden unless it is set to yes, and should be omitted if unused.

value

The internal value of the item. This parameter only accepts numbers.

convert

The amount of coins received for converting the item when won on Treasure Hunter or the discontinued Squeal of Fortune.

alchable

Whether or not the item may be alched (Low Level Alchemy / High Level Alchemy). This parameter will serve no function unless it is set to no, and should be omitted if unused. The default behaviour of items is alchability is true.

Accepted values (case insensitive):

no

alchmultiplier

An override for the alchemy multiplier that defines the relationship between value and high alchemy, such that for $M$ multiplier:

highalch=\lfloor M\times value\rfloor

Low alchemy is always assumed to be two-thirds of the high alchemy value.

The alchmultiplier parameter only accepts numbers and will default to 0.6. It should generally be unused and omitted.

destroy

The destruction behaviour of the item or its corresponding message. Items that are dropped should pass the value Drop. Items that are destroyed should pass the text of the confirmation dialogue that is prompted when the "destroy" option is chosen.

kept

Whether or not the item is kept on death.

Accepted values (case insensitive):

reclaimable (items that are reclaimable from Death's office)
never (items always lost on death)
always (items always kept on death, unless inside the wilderness)
alwaysinclwild (items always kept on death, including when inside the wilderness)
dropped (items that are dropped to the floor on death; generally minigame or boss fight items)
safe (items that can only exist inside safe death areas, and are thus always kept)

ikod

Override for the item's value with Death. This is the first number listed in the item tooltip in the items kept on death interface.

Module priority in choosing value:

ikod
gemw (Grand Exchange value)
value

reclaim

Override for the item's reclaim value with Death. This parameter only accepts number values, and should be omitted if unused. The default behaviour is that which is described in the comments of the keptondeatharg function (search "Death formula").

sacrifice

Override for the item's sacrifice value with Death. This parameter only accepts number values, and should be omitted if unused. The default behaviour is multiplying the reclaim by four (4).

exchange

Whether or not this item is tradeable on the Grand Exchange. This parameter may be omitted; however, its existence in the code may help lead other editors.

Accepted values (case insensitive):

gemw (note that "yes" will not serve the same function)
no (do not add to untradeable items; only applies for tradeable items not in the Grand Exchange. See: Category:Non-GE items for more.)

gemwname

Use this parameter if the item's name value is different from the location of its Exchange page on the wiki.

weight

The weight of the item in kilograms (kg). This parameter only accepts numbers; the "kg" should be omitted when written in the source code.

Note that weights in RuneScape have a precision of up to 3 places, or 1 gram (1 g).

examine

The examine text of the item as it appears in game exactly.

restriction

Defines the location restriction applied to an item, to ensure correct filtering in the armoury. An item (or more accurately, a specific version of item) is considered restricted if the only way to obtain/retain it is within the bounds of the definition and not before/after/elsewhere. For example, Flax cap-ice-i-tor can only be obtained and is removed before the end of the Back to the Freezer quest (making it quest restricted); Ancient mace (Dominion Tower) is only available during Dominion Tower (making it minigame restricted).

Can be one of the following possible values:

surface - default - parameter can be removed for this value - can be used to override the quest parameter
quest - items that only appear in quests; automatically set by the quest parameter
minigame - items that only appear within minigames, not elsewhere
dungeoneering - items that only appear within Daemonheim
removed - items that have been removed from the game
limited - items that are only available by participating in Treasure Hunter or Squeal of Fortune

id

The item's internal ID in the game config. Every item has a single ID, though multiple versions of an item may be listed in a single infobox.

rscid

The item's internal ID in the game config for RuneScape Classic. This parameter should only exist on the few items that were exclusive to RuneScape Classic; it should not appear on any newly created articles.

Deprecated parameters

high

Defines the high alchemy value of an item, overriding all other calculations. This parameter should be omitted in favour of either the general formula, or the alchmultiplier parameter unless absolutely necessary.

low

Same as above.

store

The price at which an item is sold by stores. This parameter should be deleted in favour of a dynamic listing with {{Store locations list}}. This parameter will no longer display any value.

seller

Deleted along with the store parameter. This parameter will not display, nor will it add any tracking categories.

currency

Deleted along with the store parameter. This parameter will not display, nor will it add any tracking categories.

tooltip

Custom tooltips that the item has. This parameter will not display, nor will it add any tracking categories.

Defining multiple items at once

Infobox Item supports the ability to display multiple items with a single template. Additional items will be stored quietly and displayed when prompted by user input. Proper display of the switchfobox version requires the reader to have JavaScript enabled.

Additional items are defined with the respective version# parameter. The value passed to this parameter will also define its label to the reader. The module will look for the highest version in an unbroken sequence; i.e. the module begins its search at version1 and will count up until version# does not exist.

When a version is defined, other parameters may be defined for it by using param#, where # is the number of the version. If undefined, param# will default to the value of the unqualified param.
