{{tl|link=Software/bc}} is the template that underlies the icon templates. It has 8 main parameters:
*{{Param}} – the way the icon will be displayed.
** Do not enter this value if you need a regular icon.
** Enter 1 to get the name of the game with a link to an article about the game.
** Enter 2 to get the icon and the name of the game after it.
** Enter 3 to get the same as in the case of the number 1, but with an additional design with colored text.
** Enter 4 to get the same as in the case of the number 2, but with an additional design with colored text.
** Enter "col" (without quotes) to get the color of the game. This is mainly needed for other templates.
** Enter "in", "also", "only", "since", "removed" or "not" (without quotes) to get the icon displayed along with additional text, like "(also in <game icon>)".
{{Note|<nowiki>however, the {{{1}}} parameter cannot be touched, it should always be "{{{1}}}" in the icon templates!</nowiki>}}
*{{Param|ico}} – the name of the icon is written here, but only the name itself, without "File:" and square brackets.
* {{Param|ico size}} - width of the icon. Should be {{mono|16px}} for most icons, unless it's double, like {{hls}}, in which case it should be {{mono|32px}}. Experimentation may be necessary for non-square icons.
{{tip|The actual icon does not need to be this resolution; higher resolutions can be used to improve clarity on [[Wikipedia:Pixel density|high-PPI]] displays. MediaWiki will automatically send the resolution best suited for the given user-client's display.}}
*{{Param|link}} – link to the article, External links do not work. If not used, the link will use the {{Param|name}} parameter.<br>Write without the brackets. Underscores and spaces are interchangeable.
{{tip|For Wikipedia links, prepend "Wikipedia:" to the page name (ex: [[Wikipedia:Gabe Newell]])}}
*{{Param|name}} – display name. Write without the "_".
*{{Param|name|suf=<number>}} – this parameter displays an alternate name based on the {{Param|nt}} parameter.
{{Note|it is strongly recommended to write the abbreviation of the game in the parameter {{Param|name0}}}}
*{{Param|col}} – the color of the game. If it is not specified, just do not enter this parameter, the standard color will be used: <span style="color:#ADD8E6;font-weight:bold">#ADD8E6</span>.<br> It's highly recommended that you use brighter color for better readability with dark/black pages.
*{{Param|addtext}} – additional text that will be written immediately after the icon. It is mainly needed to add other icons.
{{Note|Make sure to include <nowiki>"addtext={{{addtext|}}}" in the icon templates!</nowiki>}}
*{{Param|nt}} – this parameter will be used in the {{Param|name<number>}} parameter.

=== Result ===
In the end, you should get something like this:

{{CodeBlock|src=[[Template:Portal2]]|lines=12|<nowiki>{{doc|docpage=Template:Hl2/doc}}
<includeonly><onlyinclude>{{Software
| {{{1}}}
| ico = Portal2-16px.png
| ico size = 16px
| link = Portal 2
| name = {{#switch: {{language}}|#default = Portal 2|ko=포탈 2|zh=传送门 2|zh-tw=傳送門 2}}
| name0 = portal2
| col = #23B1E5
| addtext = {{{addtext|}}}
| nt = {{{nt|}}}
}}</onlyinclude></includeonly></nowiki>}}

=== Translations ===
Translations are handled by the {{tl|link=In text}} Template.

===How To Use===
This is how the use of the template in articles will look like:
