Templates are a native feature of mediawiki (the framework this fan wiki uses), and greatly reduce workload by having something intended for repeated use across different articles to be called with a template invocation. They can also have specific parameters that allow for specific changes to a called template for the given invocation instance. They can be difficult to understand, however. Refer to the examples on existing pages to see how they can be used. Some popular templates are listed below: | Templates are a native feature of mediawiki (the framework this fan wiki uses), and greatly reduce workload by having something intended for repeated use across different articles to be called with a template invocation. They can also have specific parameters that allow for specific changes to a called template for the given invocation instance. They can be difficult to understand, however. Refer to the examples on existing pages to see how they can be used. Some popular templates are listed below: | ||
===Basic templates=== | |||
These templates are commonly used in many different sections of the wiki. | |||
* [[Template:Transient icon]] | * [[Template:Transient icon]] | ||
* [[Template:AR Equipment]] | |||
* [[Template:AR Equipment icon]] | |||
* [[Template:Attribute]] | * [[Template:Attribute]] | ||
* [[Template:Weapon]] | * [[Template:Weapon]] | ||
* [[Template:Status]] | |||
* [[Template:Item]] | |||
* [[Template:Star]] | |||
* [[Template:Comments]] | |||
* [[Template:Catalog2]] | |||
* [[Template:Team member]] | |||
===Translation templates=== | |||
These templates are often used to write translations for units. | |||
* [[Template:Transient CV]] | |||

===Strategy templates=== | |||
The following templates are useful for making strategy pages for transients. | |||
* [[Template:Transient stat table]] | |||

Navboxes are used for navigational purposes on the wiki and are usually put in the bottom of a page. | |||
* [[Template:Guide]] | * [[Template:Guide]] | ||
* [[Template:Story Terms]] | |||
* [[Template:Gacha navbox]] | |||
* [[Template:Events navbox]] | |||
===Masterdata templates=== | |||
Other "templates" refer are datacalls to a database of information directly datamined from the game and kept on the wiki manager's own server [[User:Barry]]. They are parsed and the output is modified by his scripts on his server. Because these data calls refer to serial IDs and not human-readable IDs, their usage can be quite limiting. Browsing these is currently not possible except through bruteforcing their invocations on a test wiki page (you may preview the page without creating them).
