Template:CardTable3/doc

This template is a generic layout for cards from the Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG and TCG, as well as cards from the Bandai and Yu-Gi-Oh! Dungeon Dice Monsters (DDM) games. It is also intended for anime-, manga-, and video game-only cards.

Card name

 * name : The card's official English name. The template is set up to automatically pull this from the page's title, so this parameter should be omitted unless the card's name is different from the page name - for instance, for the card "Jinzo #7", since the number sign cannot be used in URLs; or for cards with something in parenthesis following their name because there is another article with the same name as the card, for example "Dark Magician (Arkana)".


 * arname : The card's Arabic name.
 * chname : The card's Chinese name.
 * frname : The card's French name.
 * dename : The card's German name.
 * itname : The card's Italian name.
 * krname : The card's Korean name.
 * ptname : The card's Portuguese name.
 * spname : The card's Spanish name.

 Japanese name 
 * kanji : The card's official Japanese name. If possible, use both kanji and furigana using Ruby tags.
 * phon : The card's phonetic Japanese name.
 * trans : A translation of the Japanese name into English (if it doesn't match the official English name).

 Other names 
 * altname : Any other name the card may go by in video games etc.
 * manganame : The name of the card in the English manga, if different from its official English name.
 * animename : The name of the card in the English anime, if different from its official English name.

If a card does not have an official name in any of the languages, that section is omitted. English and Japanese names are an exception to this, which may be approximated. When choosing a name first preference goes to the name printed on the card in that language. Next preference goes to its most recent name from the anime, manga or video game of that language. Next preference goes to a translation of the English or Japanese name. (only applies to English and Japanese names) This is not neccessarly a direct translation. Compare to how similar cards are named eg. "Test Tiger's" Japanese name is approximated as スレイブ・タイガー (Slave Tiger), since "Test Ape's" Japanese name is スレイブ・エイプ (Slave Ape).
