Infobox type
Card Type
Scryfall Statistics

Standard infobox template (appearing in upper right corner of page) for card types, subtypes and supertypes.

Usage

This can be used for all 3 levels of type. With evergreen card types, not many details are needed as these are fundamental to card typing and not associated with specific sets or other types or mechanics, with rules too complex to summarize. Evergreen supertypes are similar, except rules specific to them may be summarized. Non-evergreen types should have printing information, and subtypes should state their corresponding card type and possibly rules summary.

Parameters

Exactly one of these parameters is required:

  • For card types: subtype - Formatted link to article for its associated card types, e.g. [[Creature type]] for Creature and Kindred, [[Spell type]] for Instant and Sorcery, [[Artifact type]] or similar for most other types, or None for some special types
  • For all others: type - Unformatted categorizing word, one of:
    • for a supertype, super
    • for a subtype, associated card type as: creature, spell, artifact, enchantment, land, battle, conspiracy or multiple
    • emblem or token

Required except for evergreen card types:

  • first - Set in which type was actually printed for the first time, with no formatting
    • Optional: first_update - Set containing earliest-printed card which type now appears on, retroactively considering errata, with no formatting

Optional with default:

  • name - The exact name of the type
    • default: name of page
  • last - Set of most recent appearance of type, or "Evergreen" or "Obsolete" or similar, with no formatting
    • default: same as first
    • "Obsolete" only needs to be used if explicitly replaced or stated to be obsolete
  • icon (small icon), altimage (large, for subtypes of typical card types) or image (large, for others), with full file extension like .jpg or .png but no other formatting
    • default: [name].jpg as large image, for subtypes of typical card types only (otherwise nothing)
    • Optional: caption - Text below image
    • Optional: noimage - Flag to entirely suppress image (pass any text to suppress)
  • search, tokensearch - What exactly to search for on Scryfall to identify this type, and cards that create tokens of this type
    • default: cards with a type line including [name], and (for creature types only) cards with text referring to token creation and [name]
    • Optional: nosearch - Flag to suppress default Scryfall search links (pass any text to suppress)

Optional:

  • rules - Summary of rules connected to type (e.g. Legendary, Saga)
  • beeble, beeble_ref, storm, storm_ref - Rosewater Scale score for this creature type (beeble) or type-as-mechanic (storm), with reference that must include all formatting and tags
  • extrasearch, extralabel, extrasearch2, extralabel2 - Additional Scryfall searches for cards related to type; labels are required for each extra search
  • includeextras - Flag to include nonstandard cards and un-cards with Scryfall search using "include:extras" query flag (pass any text to include)
  • scryart - Scryfall art search flag (pass any text to activate)
    • artsearch (required if scryart flag is set) - Search query text to find art associated with type
  • update, update2, orupdate - For an obsolete type, what type(s) are now used on cards formerly using the obsolete type, unformatted
    • orupdate is listed after the others with the word "or", if provided
  • crossover - A crossover product the subtype is associated with, unformatted but capitalized properly; in addition to appearing in infobox, the page is added to an appropriate category
