Miniaturessupported

Miniaturessupported is a term used in metadata schemas, catalogs, and configuration files to indicate whether an item or platform supports physical miniatures in the context of tabletop gaming and related domains. The term combines 'miniatures' and 'supported' to signal compatibility with standard miniature scales, mounting bases, or miniature-related workflows. In practical use, miniaturessupported is typically represented as a boolean value (true or false) or as an enumerated state in data records and APIs.

In software and data ecosystems that present products, models, or game assets, a record with miniaturessupported set to true suggests that the item is intended to be used with physical miniatures or has assets tailored for miniature use, such as scale references, base shapes, or mounting guidelines. A false value may accompany digital-only assets, abstract diagrams, or large-format models not sized for standard miniatures.

Applications of the flag include search filtering, recommended-content algorithms, and packaging decisions for retailers, publishers, or 3D-print repositories. Because there is no universal standard for this flag, its exact meaning can vary between platforms; some may interpret true as 'base-compatible with 28 mm scale,' others as 'includes miniature-ready print files,' and yet others as a general indication of miniature suitability.

As a metadata convention, miniaturessupported is typically documented in schema or data dictionaries within a project. Users relying on the flag should consult platform-specific definitions to understand the intended scope and limitations.
