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.

Requirements
- Template:Rank supplies rank colouring, links and tooltips.
NameMC logo.png,EldritchBot icon logo.pngandDiscord logo.svgmust be uploaded locally.- Enter UUIDs without hyphens. This installation does not currently provide the
#replaceparser 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 |
