Only name is normally required. Rows for omitted optional parameters are hidden. Built on Template:Infobox for the shared name/image/row chrome — see there for the wiki's common infobox look.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Example
name	Player's current Minecraft name. Defaults to the page name.	PlayerName
image	Filename of an image uploaded to the wiki. Do not include the File: prefix.	PlayerName.png
uuid	Player's hyphenless Minecraft UUID. Generates NameMC and EldritchBot links.	7c0ff210425f4860b158b56590c6f0b4
rank	Current Loka rank. Automatically passed through Template:Rank, and adds this page to a "<rank> holders" category — e.g. rank=Sentry adds Category:Sentry holders. Template:Infobox rank's "Current holders" count reads this category, so keeping this parameter current here is what keeps that count accurate — there's no separate number to remember to update.	Elder
town	Current town. Linked only when an article with the exact town name exists; otherwise displayed as plain text.	Example Town
dateJoined	Date the player joined Loka, written in month-day-year format. The legacy parameter date_joined also works.	March 26, 2026
formerNames	Notable former Minecraft names. former_names also works.	OldName
forumsId	Numerical ID from the player's Loka forums URL. Generates a forums profile link. forums_id also works.	1741
discordId	Numerical ID of the player's linked Discord account. Generates a Discord profile link. discord_id also works.	138419767567450112

Requirements

• Template:Rank supplies rank colouring, links and tooltips.
• NameMC logo.png, EldritchBot icon logo.png and Discord logo.svg must be uploaded locally.
• Enter UUIDs without hyphens. This installation does not currently provide the #replace parser function needed to remove them automatically.
• Loka's API exposes rank and Discord ID by UUID, but this wiki currently has no extension capable of fetching and decoding external JSON. These values therefore remain manual parameters.

Automatic generation calculation

The generation is calculated automatically from dateJoined; do not supply a separate generation parameter. The template converts the join date to YYYYMMDD with #time and compares it with the generation boundaries recorded below:

Generation	Join-date range
First Generation	Before December 3, 2011
Second Generation	December 3, 2011 - December 1, 2012
Third Generation	December 2, 2012 - December 6, 2013
Fourth Generation	December 7, 2013 - September 18, 2015
Fifth Generation	September 19, 2015 - August 6, 2016
Sixth Generation	August 7, 2016 - March 27, 2018
Seventh Generation	March 28, 2018 - May 29, 2020
Eighth Generation	May 30, 2020 - October 16, 2021
Ninth Generation	October 17, 2021 - September 28, 2023
Tenth Generation	September 29, 2023 onward
