Template:Infobox jam

Detailed Stats	Template:If

Template documentation

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

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

Each occurrence of a jam is stored as a separate page in the "Jam occurrence" namespace, using Template:Jam occurrence. The entire VN jam statistics system is based on querying data from series pages (which use this template) and occurrence pages (which use the other template).

List of Semantic MediaWiki Properties

• Description: A 1-2 sentence, human readable description of the jam. Provided by the user.
• Has cumul entries: The total number of entries across all occurrences. Calculated.
• Has cumul participants: The total number of participants across all occurrences. Calculated.
• Has latest occurrence: The most recent occurrence of this jam, as measured by end date. Calculated.
• Has month category: The location where this jam will appear on List of ongoing visual novel jams or List of discontinued visual novel jams (as appropriate). It can be provided by the user, but if it is not, it will be calculated based on the start date of the most recent occurrence. The most common case where a user would want to provide this field is to sort a series into the "Miscellaneous" category.
• Has most entries: The highest number of entries any occurrence of this series has had. Calculated.
• Has most participants: The highest number of participants any occurrence of this series has had. Calculated.
• Has occurrence: All jam occurrences which are occurrences of this series. Links to the pages in the "Jam occurrence" namespace. Calculated.
• Has short name: A shorter name of the jam, such as "Spooktober" for "Spooktober Visual Novel Jam". Provided by the user.
• Has status: The status of the jam series - either "Ongoing", "Planned", or "Discontinued". Determines whether the series should be shown on List of ongoing visual novel jams (for ongoing and planned jams) or List of discontinued visual novel jams (for discontinued jams). Provided by the user.
• Has versions: Whether this jam has multiple versions (e.g. "Queer" and "Standard" for O2A2). Calculated.

Some jam series will also have the "Has article body" SMW property. This is not added by this template, but rather by Template:Jam nav. This parameter is either "true" or not provided. It determines whether a "main article" link should be shown in Template:Jam series occurrence stats, and by extension, List of ongoing visual novel jams or List of discontinued visual novel jams.
