Plantilla:Tick/doc

This template is to be used whenever the term "tick" is mentioned in an article. It prints an explanation of the term (see the wording below) wrapped in a <ref> tag.

Usage

{{tick | noref / short | noref / short }}

First unnamed parameter (optional)

Set to noref to suppress the <ref> tag. Set to short to print a very abbreviated explanation.

Second unnamed parameter (optional)

See above. Both parameters can be interchanged.

Notes

• If there is at least one call of {{tick}} without noref on the page, a new section "References" or "Footnotes" with {{reflist}} needs to be added.

Examples

Code	Result
{{tick|noref}}	A tick is a time unit countable by the software. Most of Terraria's updating logic happens every tick. A tick has the length of 1/60th of a second, hence there are 60 ticks in a second and 3600 ticks in a minute.
{{tick|noref|short}}	1 tick = 1/60th of a second
{{tick|short|noref}}	1 tick = 1/60th of a second
The thing happens every 8400 ticks.{{tick}}	The thing happens every 8400 ticks.
The other thing happens every 450 ticks.{{tick|short}}	The thing happens every 450 ticks.
The third thing also happens every 450 ticks.{{tick}}	The third thing also happens every 450 ticks.
