This template generates entire pages for individual weapons in the game, such as Longsword (not to be confused with Longswords) or Worgfang.
Following is an example of usage with all possible template parameters shown. This describes a made up Longsword which for some reason deals an extra 1d4 Fire damage and is Heavy (longswords normally aren't). If you're ever unsure what to type, simply leave the parameter empty.

Note that the template even adds the page to the correct categories. And for the same reason, it shouldn't be invoked here for the purpose of showing how the results look; that would result in this template page being added to the categories to which weapon pages are added.
