Character Profiles Standard Format

## Tabbers and Images

### Image Sizes

Insert a portrait image of the relevant character at the top of the page. The image widths should almost always vary between 160px and 480px, and the alignments should usually be to the right.

Take note that each image should be stylistically fitting for the page. It should neither be too diminuitive to get a clear view of what the character looks like, or so large that it turns intrusive for the text. The appropriate size tends to vary quite a lot depending on the image design. But if the alignment of an image is to the right, please make sure that its size does not exceed 480px. Otherwise it disturbs the formatting of the page.

Also, it tends to depend from case to case what image size that is possible to fit to the right of the text in a page, so you should test what works in that regard.

If an image would be far too small, and/or a quote would turn very horizontally narrow and far too vertically long, otherwise, it is allowed to center-align header images, with a maximum size of 650px. However, this should only be used as a last resort, not as a standard first option.

### Tabber Instructions

To use tabbers, you should use the following code:

`<tabber>`

`|-|Transformation 1=[INSERT IMAGE FILE HERE]`

`{{Quote|Insert quote here|Author}}`

`|-|Transformation 2=[INSERT IMAGE FILE HERE]`

`{{Quote|Insert quote here|Author}}`

`</tabber>`

#### Result

* Transformation 1
* Transformation 2

### Tabbers within tabbers

Use the following code:

`<tabber>`

`|-|Character Name=`

`{{#tag:tabber|{{!}}-{{!}}First Form=`

`{{!}}-{{!}}Second Form=`

`{{!}}-{{!}}Third Form=`

`}}`

`</tabber>`

#### Result

* Character Name

* First Form
* Second Form
* Third Form
[INSERT IMAGE FILE HERE]

[INSERT IMAGE FILE HERE]

[INSERT IMAGE FILE HERE]

### Tabbers within two more tabbers

`<tabber>`

`|-|Example 1=`

`{{#tag:tabber|`

## Summary

Here you can add a summary/brief information about the character.

## Powers and Stats

**Tier:** Current Tier of the character ( with the individual tier ratings themselves enclosed within curly brackets, for example {{7-A}}, {{3-C}}, or {{Unknown}}).

**Key:** For characters who have transformation stages/power-ups or who become stronger through certain points of the story, insert those transformations/power-ups/timelines here in bold.

**Standard Tactics:** The usual behaviour exhibited by a character during battles. For example, which actions a character will first perform when fighting an unknown opponent or which abilities they will use frequently, rarely, or never. This section is optional and should not be added if the character's behaviour is too inconsistent to identify a common pattern.

**Weaknesses:** Self-explanatory.

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:** A list of some abilities the character generally uses.

**Note:** Self-explanatory.

## Explanations (Optional)

This section can be used to explain the reasons for the assigned power level of a certain character more in-depth, as well as how the powers and nature of the character fundamentally work. This is particularly useful for more high-tiered characters.

However, it is very important that you make sure that the text has good grammar/sentence structure, and is easy to understand.

Although it is not strictly required, it is advisable to index the potency of a character's abilities in this section when creating or editing a profile. This can include the ability to overpower the resistances of characters who would ordinarily resist certain abilities (not to be confused with Resistance Negation), or whether or not the potency of an ability corresponds to that of a higher reality.

## Gallery

Put other pictures of the character here.

Click here for an explanation page about gallery settings.

Also, preferably include hideaddbutton="true" in the code (<gallery hideaddbutton="true"> </gallery>) for a cleaner visual layout.

## Others

**Notable Victories:**

Put some notable/good matches that result in the character's victory.

**Notable Losses:**

Put some notable/good matches that result in the character's loss.

**Inconclusive Matches:**

Put some notable/good matches with the results still unclear.

## References

This is a section where the source references can be shown. To use them, switch to the source editor in the "Preferred editor" menu, if you haven't done so, and add some text to the profile between the `<ref>` and `</ref>` tags. It will appear in this section if the `<references/>` tag is inserted here at the beginning. Note that references will automatically show up in a list.

If multiple pieces of text should refer to the same source, then the reference's code should be modified to `<ref name="name">Reference text</ref>` to allow multiple uses. Then the named reference can be used later as just `<ref name="name"/>`.

Read this guide if you want extended knowledge on how to use references.

## Notes/Explanations

Notes can be considered as an extension of the references sections and should be used when the justification for something is too difficult to contextualize and eventually would need to involve several sentences to explain. This section can serve the purpose of explaining chain scaling and scaling values for the profiles.

It is important to emphasize that this is an optional enhancement and not inherently obligatory.

To use "Notes", you should use the following code:

* ```

<ref group="Note/Explanation">INSERT JUSTIFICATION HERE</ref>

```

To decide where the "Notes" will appear, put the following code where you want them to appear:

* ```

<references group="Note/Explanation"/>

```

The result will be displayed in the following manner:

**Attack Potency:** **City level+** (Moved a meteor), **Mountain level+** with Transformation (Multiplies the power by 10 times)

## Categories

For character profiles, always insert the category "Characters", as well as one with the name of the related franchise here.

## Additional information

* Don't sacrifice any details for the reading convenience. Try to get the information across in the most efficient manner. If you don't manage to come up with a short explanation, then stick to a longer one.

* Kindly utilize source mode editing. You can change this to your default editing mode in the preferences settings.

* If the Powers and Abilities section of a profile becomes extremely lengthy due to a massive amount of abilities, you should use tabbers to divide them into categories. In case of a character with multiple keys the abilities must be grouped into tabbers that are named after respective keys.If the character has a key that directly inherits the previous key's abilities, the list of them should be shortened to phrase "All prior abilities" or "All former abilities".

* Don't use overly long explanations in the Powers and Abilities section. Instead, move them into the Notable Attacks/Techniques or Explanations section.

* If the list of feats goes way too long to fit into the page, make the list collapsible by transforming its code into this form:

* ```
'''[[Feats]]:''' <div class="mw-customtoggle-Feats wikia-menu-button">Hide/Show</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-Feats">
* Insert first feat
* Insert second feat
* Insert third feat
* Insert nth feat
</div>
```

* See how this works in practice:
* **Feats:** Hide/Show

	+ Insert first feat
	+ Insert second feat
	+ Insert third feat
	+ Insert nth feat

* Put resistances at the end of the Powers and Abilities section, separating the main list of abilities from the resistances by starting a new sentence. The following template is preferred to be used:
**Powers and Abilities:** List of abilities. Resistance to: list of resistible powers.

* When it is possible, organize the Notable Attacks/Techniques section by grouping elements into subsections.

* When images of what a character looks like are available, you can upload them here, and insert them at the top of the related profile page. Take note that it is better to not use generic file names, as regular members cannot replace existing images.

### Powers and Abilities Formatting

When listing Powers & Abilities, some formatting options are necessary and some are optional but may be recommended in order to present the information to users of the wiki in a clear way. Use your best judgement and look at existing profiles for inspiration. Some important things to keep in mind:

1. **Tiering**(You should always put the tier of a character's power and abilities, in bold, before giving all of said powers and abilities, using this page.)
2. **Links** (Mandatory: When listing Abilities which have pages on the wiki already, it is important to link directly to them so that users can see explanations and examples of other users of these abilities. Surround the ability with links using square brackets: [[Example]].)
3. **Justifications** (Optional but strongly recommended: Typically some Abilities should have a short justifications after them with necessary links as evidence, unless the ability is extremely self-evident and requires no explanation such as Superhuman Physical Characteristics. Longer and more detailed explanations should be listed in the "Notable Attacks/Techniques" section.)
4. **Paragraph Format** (Default: Abilities are typically listed in a paragraph style, with the abilities (and their justifications) separated from each other by commas.)
5. **Bullet Points and Bolding Formats** (Optional: Abilities can be listed in paragraph format as above, but for more than just a small number of abilities, it may be clearer if the abilities are displayed in a list which displays the abilities in an organized fashion. Abilities in this format should be bolded to help distinguish them from the rest of the text. It is also possible to bold abilities while maintaining a paragraph format, which may work particularly well in profiles with larger amounts of text between abilities.)
6. **Tabbers** (Optional: If an Ability list becomes too extensive, the abilities can be separated into different tabs. It is recommended that this be done in a way that makes sense with the rest of the page, such as modelling the tabs off of character's keys or for different forms and transformations. Although you can put tabbers inside of other tabbers to break down the information more such as separating Abilities from Resistances, you should not overdo it. Do not go more than three tabs deep.)
	* (Mandatory: To maintain clarity and prevent excessive repetition, it is advisable to create separate tabs for related content and prominently display the heading "Resistance to:" beneath the tab "Resistance". This practice effectively communicates the subject matter without the need for repetitive linking. When encountering limited or possible resistance scenarios, the phrasing can be adjusted to "Limited Resistance to" or "Possibly Resistance to" as appropriate. This approach streamlines the content presentation, ensuring that the term "Resistance" is linked only once, with detailed explanations provided for each specific type of resistance. See successful examples of this here and here.)
