'''{{tl|Technological item}}''' is for use in any article about a [[technology|technological]] item within the [[Pathfinder campaign setting]]. The parameters (except name) are optional. If left undefined they will not appear.

For mundane items, please use instead {{Tl|Item}}; for alchemical items, use {{Tl|Alchemical item}}; for magical items, use {{Tl|Magic item}}.

This template has been stripped down to include only those essential [[PathfinderWiki:No crunch|crunchy]] statistics, and those that are left enable reference against other spells and easy sorting. All other crunchy details should be omitted.

<pre>
{{Technological item

}}
</pre>

</pre>

== Parameters ==

The initial word should usually be capitalized for each parameter.

; name ''(optional)'': The name of the technological item. Pretty straightforward.
; image ''(optional)'': A File link to an associated image. For example: <nowiki>File:Wayfinder.jpg</nowiki> Should be given without <code>[[]]</code> or any settings.
; traits ''(optional/2e)'': The traits of the item as listed. Use the {{tl|2eTrait}} template to create trait boxes. Rarity is important; if none is listed in the item description, {{tl|2eTrait|Common}} is implied and should be still included in the infobox for consistency even though it doesn't display anything.
; type ''(optional)'': Example: weapons, armor, pharmaceuticals, cybernetics, item
; slot ''(optional/1e)'': The slot the item occupies as listed. For example: ring, amulet
; color ''(optional/1e)'': The item's power, as defined by the [[Technology#Color Coding|technological color scale]]
; level ''(optional/2e)'': The item's level, as described
; usage ''(optional/2e)'': The item's usage, as described
; origin ''(optional)'': The geographical location in Golarion the item is associated with. For example: Numeria
; affiliation ''(optional)'': The deity, item creator, or organization with which the item is associated. For example: Brigh
; imagesof ''(optional; remove if unused)'': The name of the category that contains images of this item, which appears as a link to the category page. For instance, an '''imagesof''' value of {{xt|laser pistols}} will create a link to [[:Category:Images of laser pistols]] with the link text "Images of laser pistols".
; source & page ''(optional)'': The source wherein the item was first mentioned, or from which the most information is available. Link the title, and include page number if possible. Use this '''only''' if you have a source and page '''for either 1E or 2E, but not both'''.
; aon1e,aon2e ''(optional)'': Can contain a link to an Archive of Nethys page, starting after the first slash (e.g. <code>Monsters.aspx?ID=490</code>)

; 1e-source, 1e-page, 2e-source, & 2e-page ''(optional)'': The source wherein the item was first mentioned, or from which the most information is available, in both 1E and 2E. Link the title, and include page number if possible. Use this '''only''' if you have a source and page '''for both editions'''.
