Template:CanonOrLive

Usage instructions
Add to the top of the article page.

As standard, order the template's fields like so:

Titles

 * title - use to italicize the part of the article title that is not in parentheses. Similarly, this parameter is also used to italicize or otherwise modify the title displayed when the article name includes "/Canon".
 * title2 - use if the page's name includes a parenthetical descriptor and you wish to italicize part of the parenthetical descriptor.
 * notitle - used to disable the title functionality, allowing for articles with mid-title parentheses to be unaffected.

Canon/Live Events specifications
Including a publishing era (see below) negates the use for type specification, as publishing eras are Legends only.
 * type - use if an article exists only in the new continuity, or you need to display the banners on a real-world article. Only takes "canon" or "live events" as values.
 * Live Events - page name of the Live Event article for the subject; defaults to "PAGENAME/Live Events" (unless the current article ends with "/Canon", in which case this is subtracted)
 * canon - page name of the canon article for the subject; defaults to subtracting "/Live Events" from the current page name (unless this name lacks this suffix, in which case "/Canon" is added)
 * hide - hides the tab system. Can be used when articles in both continuities have identical names but are about different subjects and should therefore not be linked.

List of Live Event eras (Live Events only)

 * pre - Pre-2000
 * pos - Post-2000
 * old - Roaming Robots
 * liv - Robot Wars Live Events
 * ext - Extreme Robots
 * rbl - Robots Live!

Note on banners: This template will not display the Live Events banners on any non-mainspace article or any article that includes "real" as one of its parameters. If you wish to override this (for example, a video game or novel article), add either "canon" or "live events" as one of the parameters in the template to generate the correct banner.
