This template should be added to all articles covering sourcebooks, modules, periodicals, novels, or any other real-life published works covering the World of Greyhawk setting.

The recommended image size is a width of 250px so that it will completely fill the infobox without increasing its size.

Add wiki links by putting a word or phrase inside double brackets, [[like this]], especially to lines like:

  • author
  • publisher
  • series
  • setting date

Do not add wiki links to alignments.

If any fields are left undefined they will not appear. The "name" will be automatically generated if it is not entered.

In parameters using dates: You may also use phrases like "[[Fourth century CY]]", "Spring [[591 CY]]", or "Unknown". If the date is a numerical year alone, enter only the year number, e.g. "598" (only use dates based on the Common Year system). "CY" is automatically added, do not add it manually; the infobox will automatically format the number as a wikilink to the article for that year and add "CY" after the number.
