== Caption parameter? ==
{{talk}}
I am here to talk about the caption placed below the images. We have "Artwork from ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' for the Nintendo Switch" for the page of [[Mario]] However, other character infoboxes such as [[Captain Syrup]] have "''Wario Land: Shake It!'' artwork for Captain Syrup", which is redundant, because the character's name is already above the image. The standard caption for such images is "Artwork/Screenshot from (Game)." I'm wondering about the addition of a caption parameter, which can have:
*Media - Artwork, Screenshot
*Game - Anything under the sun
Which could generate "(Artwork/Screenshot) from (Game). I'm sorry that I cannot code a sample, and this is simply not a proposal, either.
Here's a sample mark-up.
<nowiki>{{character infobox
|image=[[File:WLSSyrup.png|200px]]
|imagetype=artwork
|imagesource=''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]''
|first_appearance=''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'' ([[List of games by date#1994|1994]])
|species=Human
|latest_appearance=''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' ([[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] cameo) ([[List of games by date#2018|2018]])
|latest_portrayal=[[Hitomi Hirose]] ([[List of games by date#2008|2008]])
}}
</nowiki>
This could create something like "Artwork from ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]''".
