Template:Infobox Home Media/doc

 is a template that is used on home media pages. On top is the mandatory "initial release" field — the date of the very first release of the given story in any format — and an automatically generated story field. Below it, the right rail contains the cover image of the story's first release, and the left rail is split up into several sections, one for each format into which it was released.

Usage is very simple. For each section, just pick one of six valid categories — Betamax, VHS, Laserdisc, DVD, Blu-ray and Internet — and then list release dates/web links in the appropriate variables below.

Here's an example of one section (random figures are used): | DVD Which will result in (roughly): <div style="border:2px solid #fff;-webkit-border-radius: 10px 0px 0px 10px;-moz-border-radius: 10px 0px 0px 10px;-ms-border-radius: 10px 0px 0px 10px;-o-border-radius: 10px 0px 0px 10px;border-radius: 10px 0px 0px 10px;-moz-box-shadow:0 0 20px #012c57;-webkit-box-shadow:0 0 20px #012c57;-o-box-shadow:0 0 20px #012c57;-ms-box-shadow:0 0 20px #012c57;box-shadow:0 0 20px #012c57;background:#012c57;color:#fff;float:center;clear:both;width:90%;margin:0 5px 10px 20px;padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:10px;min-width:325px;min-height:85px">

Here is an infobox containing nearly every possible variable. Note that, while image is usually automatic, the automatic image can be replaced with ; so too with, which can control the normally automatic "Story released" variable. Initial release — or — is a mandatory field. "Categories" — and the variables, of course — must be spelled exactly as they are below.


 * To be used only if absolutely necessary, the height of the infobox can also be controlled with (in pixels).
