	Only <code>name</code> is required (it otherwise defaults to the page name); every other row is hidden when omitted. Built on [[Template:Infobox]] for the shared name/image/row chrome — see there for the wiki's common infobox look. For a rank's own article (e.g. [[Sentry]]); article prose (how to obtain it, conduct expectations) belongs below the infobox as normal. Not the same thing as [[Template:Rank]] (an inline colour badge for mentioning a rank in running prose, e.g. on a player's own infobox) or [[Template:Icon]]'s unrelated PvP-tier "Rank" icon family. Automatically adds the page to [[:Category:Ranks]], and to [[:Category:Staff ranks]] as well when <code>staff=Yes</code>.

	There's no <code>colour</code> parameter. The infobox title is literally <code><nowiki>{{Rank\|name}}</nowiki></code> -- the same colour, bold/plain weight, tooltip, and light/dark variants [[Template:Rank]] already gives that name anywhere else it's used (e.g. on a player's own infobox). One rank has one colour, defined in exactly one place, rather than a second hex code here that could say something different. A name [[Template:Rank]] doesn't recognise just displays as plain text -- add it there first if it needs a colour.		There's no <code>colour</code> parameter.

	The Current holders count is '''not''' a number to type in and keep updated by hand -- it reads live off [[Template:Infobox player]]. Every player's own infobox sets their own <code>rank=</code>, which silently adds that page to a "<rank> holders" category; this template counts that category with <code>{{PAGESINCATEGORY:...}}</code> and links the number straight to it, so clicking the count shows exactly who's counted. There's exactly one place a player's rank is ever recorded -- their own page -- so this can't drift out of sync the way a hand-maintained roster number would. If the count looks wrong, the fix is updating the player's own infobox, not this one.

			== The title's colour comes from Template:Rank ==

			There's no <code>colour</code> parameter. The infobox title is literally <code><nowiki>{{Rank\|name}}</nowiki></code> -- the same colour, bold/plain weight, tooltip, and light/dark variants [[Template:Rank]] already gives that name anywhere else it's used (e.g. on a player's own infobox). One rank has one colour, defined in exactly one place, rather than a second hex code here that could say something different. A name [[Template:Rank]] doesn't recognise just displays as plain text -- add it there first if it needs a colour.

Only <code>name</code> is required (it otherwise defaults to the page name); every other row is hidden when omitted. Built on [[Template:Infobox]] for the shared name/image/row chrome -- see there for the wiki's common infobox look. For a rank's own article (e.g. [[Sentry]]); article prose (how to obtain it, conduct expectations) belongs below the infobox as normal. Not the same thing as [[Template:Rank]] (an inline colour badge for mentioning a rank in running prose, e.g. on a player's own infobox) or [[Template:Icon]]'s unrelated PvP-tier "Rank" icon family. Automatically adds the page to [[:Category:Ranks]], and to [[:Category:Staff ranks]] as well when <code>staff=Yes</code>.

== Parameters ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Parameter
! Description
|-
| <code>name</code>
| Rank name. Defaults to the page name.
|-
| <code>image</code>
| Filename of a badge/icon image uploaded to the wiki (no <code>File:</code> prefix).
|-
| <code>desc</code>
| Short badge shown under the name (e.g. <code>Chat Moderator</code>, <code>Sub-admin</code>).
|-
| <code>colour</code>
| Hex colour applied to the name at the top of the infobox, entered '''without''' a leading <code>#</code> (e.g. <code>FF5555</code>, not <code>#FF5555</code>). <code>color</code> also works. Same colour in both light and dark mode -- there's no separate light-mode variant field.
|-
| <code>staff</code>
| <code>Yes</code> or <code>No</code> -- shown as a green/red badge. Also gates whether the Current holders row appears at all (see below) and whether this page is added to [[:Category:Staff ranks]].
|-
| <code>current</code>
| Manual override for Current holders (only shown when <code>staff=Yes</code>), for the rare case the automatic count (see below) is temporarily wrong or not yet populated. Leave unset to use the real count.
|-
| <code>forumid</code>
| Numerical ID from this rank's forum thread URL, e.g. <code>79</code> for <code>https://forums.lokamc.com/threads/sentry-rank.79/</code>. Passed straight through [[Template:Forums]]. <code>forumId</code> also works.
|-
| <code>active</code>
| Current status -- <code>Active</code> or <code>Deprecated</code> are colour-coded (green/red); other values still display, just uncoloured. For a rank no longer in use, pair this with [[Template:Deprecated]] at the top of the article rather than relying on this field alone (see [[Slicer]]).

== Current holders is automatic ==

The Current holders count is '''not''' a number to type in and keep updated by hand -- it reads live off [[Template:Infobox player]]. Every player's own infobox sets their own <code>rank=</code>, which silently adds that page to a "<rank> holders" category; this template counts that category with <code>{{PAGESINCATEGORY:...}}</code> and links the number straight to it, so clicking the count shows exactly who's counted. There's exactly one place a player's rank is ever recorded -- their own page -- so this can't drift out of sync the way a hand-maintained roster number would. If the count looks wrong, the fix is updating the player's own infobox, not this one.
