Use this template in [[:Category:Infobox Templates|infoboxes]] and [[Template:Names|Names in Other Regions]] tables to specify when information is true for a certain game only, in order to avoid misleading readers. The template adds the game's acronym between parentheses, in small text. The game's full title is displayed in a {{dict|tooltip}} by way of explanation (for users who don't know the acronyms).
For example, the "cost" field of the [[Hylian Shield]] article's infobox must use this template to indicate that the shield costs 80 Rupees specifically in ''Ocarina of Time'' and 200 in ''Twilight Princess''. Further down in the Names in Other Regions table, ExpGame also used to distinguish which names come from which games.
===ExpGame vs [[Template:Exp|Exp]]===
This template is intended to replace instances of [[Template:Exp]] that occupy this same function. Both templates are essentially the same, only Exp displays a little Triforce {{exp|this is an example of the 'Exp' template}} rather than a game's acronym. ExpGame is advantageous because game acronyms are meaningful, whereas little golden triangles are not. Therefore, the information is immediately available without necessarily having to hover over the triangle. This is essential as a large fraction of Zelda Wiki readership uses touch-screen mobile devices that cannot "hover."
==Usage==
To use this template type:
{{NoWikiTemp|Normal|Game Acronym}}
For a complete list of usable game acronyms, see [[Template:Zelda]]. Acronyms are not case sensitive and are [[Template:GameCase|standardized]]. Currently, up to seven acronyms can be added. (If a statement is true for more than seven games, ExpGame is probably not needed at all.)
==Examples==
* '''<nowiki>{{ExpGame|OoT}}</nowiki>'''
** {{ExpGame|OoT}}
* '''<nowiki>{{ExpGame|FS|FSA|TMC}}</nowiki>'''
** {{ExpGame|FS|FSA|TMC}}
* '''<nowiki>{{ExpGame|ALttP}}</nowiki>''' or '''<nowiki>{{ExpGame|ALTTP}}</nowiki>'''
