Template documentation

This template is used to format and store the data for a jam occurrence. Do not invoke it manually - use Visual novel jam statistics/maintenance to add jam occurrences.

This template is creates the infobox that is seen on each jam occurrence page, and it also stores the data associated with that jam occurrence using Semantic MediaWiki. Using Form:Jam occurrence is the easiest way to create or edit jam occurrences using this template, and there are essentially no scenarios where you should invoke this template manually.

Each occurrence of a jam is associated with a jam series, which is a page in the default/article namespace that uses Template:Infobox jam. An occurrence's associated series is assigned using the "occurrenceOf" property in this template. The entire VN jam statistics system is based on querying data from occurrence pages (which use this template) and series pages (which use the other template).
