Template:Memory

A Visitor

---

This template renders one guestbook/memory entry. Used via the "Add a Memory" link on a memorial page — visitors shouldn't normally need to type this by hand.

The photo (when present) renders above the message text, not below it (Devin's request) -- so the photo line comes first in this template, right after the name/date header.

The message is wrapped in its own .memory-message div so MediaWiki:Common.js can measure and collapse long entries behind a "Read More" toggle (see MediaWiki:Common.css for the collapsed styling) without also catching the name/date header or the photo.

The tribute icon (when set) renders once, as its own left-column badge block beside the name/date/message content (see .memory-tribute-badge/.memory-content in MediaWiki:Common.css) — not inline text next to the name. Unset or unrecognized values render nothing at all (the #switch default is empty, so no badge <div> is emitted and no empty column appears), so every entry saved before this parameter existed keeps rendering exactly as before.

One guestbook/memory entry, used via the "Add a Memory" flow on a memorial page.
