Description
A template used to provide information about Expansions to EVE Online
The template automatically adds a link anchor to make it possible to link directly to the specific expansion, using the expansions name.
Syntax
{{Expansions |expansion_name= |UniWiki= |release_date= |last_update= |expansion_site= |patch_notes= |splash_screen= |features_list= }}
Parameters
expansion_name=
The name of the expansion. This is also used to create the anchor point to make it possible to link direct to the specific expansion.
UniWiki=
Either yes or <article name>, only to be used when the expansion has its own article on the wiki:
- yes - when the article name is identical to the expansion name.
- <article name> - when the article name differs from the expansion name.
The Odyssey expansion has an article on the wiki called Odyssey so use "UniWiki= yes".

However, the Kronos expansion could not use its name as an article name because there is already a ship with that name.
In this case the 'UniWiki' parameter should be identical to the expansion's article name Kronos (expansion), which gives "UniWiki= Kronos (expansion)".
release_date=
The initial release date of the expansion.
last_update=
The final patch date of the expansion.
expansion_site=
URL of the expansion's web page.
patch_notes=
URL of the expansion's patch notes.
splash_screen=
Optional screenshot of the expansion's splash screen.
features_list=
List of what is in the update.
