This template defines [[Property:Part of series]] for a game page, as well as transcludes the [[Series:xxxxx]] page unto the game page. Since the series pages are set up to only allow the sidebar to be transcluded unto other pages, that is the only part of the pages that will be transcluded.

The series sidebar serves as an extension of sorts for the Infobox, and is made up of two parts, [[#The tag|the tag]] as well as [[#The table|the table]]. It gives a list of all the games in a particular series and points out where the current article resides in that list. Code-wise, it is always located directly beneath [[PCGamingWiki:Editing guide/The infobox|the infobox]] and above [[PCGamingWiki:Editing guide/Key points and General information|Key points/General information]].

The tag is the portion that is written to articles. It acts as a proxy for the actual table (located in a dedicated <code>Series:</code> page).

In most cases, the actual table is already created and only the tag needs to be added. That being said, there will be times where a new series needs to be added in with no prior entry available. See below for details.

Series template deprecated

Note: April 15, 2020

The manual use of the series sidebar tag ({{Series}}) has been deprecated and is being replaced by a new row inside the infobox: 

|taxonomy     =
{{Infobox game/row/taxonomy/series            | Deus Ex }}

Please check the Taxonomy project page for more information.

Using the taxonomy series row will automatically add an appropriate {{Series}} call below the infobox for the very first listed series (that actually has a series page) in the taxonomy row.
