Template documentation [edit]

This template allows translating text cost into graphical cost.

• {{Cost}} →

• {{Cost|0*}} →
• {{Cost|?}} →
• {{Cost|x}} →
• {{Cost|P}} → $P
• {{Cost|6P}} → $6P
• {{Cost|||8}} →

• {{Cost|6P||8}} → $6P

New Syntax

The old "P" syntax where P is found within the first parameter is being made obsolete in lieu of the new parameterized syntax where the P is separated into a new fourth parameter.
Henceforth, any instances of the "P" syntax found should be replaced with the respective parameterized syntax.

• {{Cost|6P}} → {{Cost|6|||P}}
• {{Cost|6P||8}} → {{Cost|6||8|P}}
• {{Cost|P|l}} → {{Cost||l||P}}
• {{Cost|6P|l|8}} → {{Cost|6|l|8|P}}

If an instance of {{Cost}} uses the "P" syntax, it will display the following warning.

[Warning: This Cost Template uses the old "P" syntax, please convert it to the new parameterized syntax.]

An instance of the "P" syntax will also file the page it is in under the category titled Category:Pages with old "P" syntax.

The syntactical changes also allow for new functionality with the ability to put "-" in the Coin and Debt parameters, allowing the empty Coin and Debt images to be displayed.

• {{Cost|-|||P}} →
• {{Cost|||-|P}} →
• {{Cost|-||-}} →
• {{Cost|-||-|P}} →
