This is the template used to generate a list of vehicles from the database. Per the overall design of the Diecast Project, this setup allows us to "call" and display data on multiple different pages, while only requiring one single edit to update it.

To use this template, you need to input the following:

{{Vehicle list
|type=Value
}}

Values include cast, series, and appearance. Each one requires their own additional parameters as detailed below.

Info

• Click edit next to any data row to go directly to the corresponding entry.

Series lists

series

component

• |series=

Add any of the following to narrow down your search as needed:

• |segment= (use {{segment}} if more than one)
• |year= (add more with |yearX=)

Appearance

appearance

component

• |media= Name (no italics or links, just plain text i.e. Heavy Metal Mater)
• To add country comparisons (China, Thailand, and/or Vietnam) do so with |countryX= (1-3) followed by the name or abbreviation (CH, TH, or VN)

Columns

By default, each list type has its own pre-set columns to display. However, particularly with the series format, you may wish to pick and choose which ones should be added or removed.

|columnX= Normal fields

• Photo
• Model Name
• Col. Number
• Year
• Series
• Segment
• Cast Number
• Country (Made In)
• Toy Number
• Asst. Number
• Case Number
• Notes
• Exclusive

Card displays

• Card / Card (V1)
• Card 2 / Card (V2)
• Card 3 / Card (V3)

Additional

• Format (Single, 2-packs, Multipack)

Presets

• Standard (default)
• Theme

Go in order except Case Number, Notes and Card(s), will go to end in that order

Configuration

Lastly, there are some settings to modify the behavior of the list itself.

• |sort= sets which column defines the default display order; currently needed in SQL formatting (i.e. Segment,Toy_number, etc.)

|sort= Poster_ID can be used to sort by poster order; use {{poster sort}} to set (see here for example)

• |card_size= changes the size of carded images. Set to an Integer followed by px (e.g. 150px, or to set a maximum height, 150x150px). Default 100px
• |combine= whether similar rows should combine. Ideal for non-single releases. Default false
• |show_unreleased= whether unreleased vehicles should be included. Default is false.
