Help:Manual of Style/Character Pages/Gameplay

• Gallery
• Gameplay
• Quotes

This is a guide for making a gameplay page for a character. Details about each section follow below.

General Notes

• PAGE NAME: Create the page as a subpage to the character's gameplay page: e.g. Ragna the Bloodedge/Gameplay/BBTAG.
  • Use the game's official abbreviation (BBCT, BBCS, BBCP, BBCPEX, BBCF, BBTAG, etc.) to create a more readable page name and shorter link
• In the generated boilerplate text:
  • Don't forget to replace Ragna the Bloodedge with the name of the character the page is being created for.
  • In the case of the Murakumo units, whose display name is different from their base page name, use {{Character Tabs|Λ-No.11-|Lambda-11}} where: Λ-No.11- is the name of her main overview page and Lambda-11 is the name that her subpages are on (Lambda-11/Gameplay, etc)

Templates

Character Tabs

Character Tabs at the top of the page provide navigation between subpages for the character.

Quote

Filling out {{Quote|}} is optional. It's fine to leave it blank on the page.

Typically, it is a single introductory quote for the character. When possible, include its origin in a reference.

Page Sections

Strategy

The strategy section includes general details about how the character plays. In general the Strategy section for the character's specific in-game tutorial is a good starting point. Place details from the game's in-game tutorial inside the blockquote and add a reference at the end.

For example:

<ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Tutorial Mode, Character Specifics, Ragna the Bloodedge, Lesson 03: Strategy Lessons''</ref>

Command List

Different templates should be used depending on the game.

BBCT - BBCF

Main article: Template:Command List

The C-series share one command list format, and therefore one template.

<tab collapsed openname="Example Template" style="width:100%; font-weight:bold;" container="font-style:default; font-weight:normal;">

Combos

<!--
==Combos==
;Tactics Mode
<tabs plain>
<tab name="Numpad Notation">
:''For an explanation of how numpad notation works, see also [http://www.dustloop.com/wiki/index.php/Notation#Numpad_Notation "Numpad Notation" on Dustloop].''

</tab>
<tab name="In-Game Notation">

</tabs>
-->

Uncomment this section if there are any combos you want to fill in. Shown above, the Tactics Mode combos are recorded in both numpad notation and in-game notation in separate tabs. Place combos after each # to form a numbered list.

Palettes

Palettes are numbered with leading zeroes (01, instead of 1). Identify references in the caption after the palette number and a <br>. For character references, have the character name be followed by their source material in quotes:

File:BBCF RG Palette 06.png|06<br>Sakata Gintoki (Gin Tama)
File:BBCF RG Palette 22.png|22<br>PlayStation

Notes

Add notes about command lists or clarifications about voice actor references for palette references here. For example,

===Palettes===
*'''Color palette 6:''' Tomokazu Sugita also voices Sakata Gintoki, the protagonist of the comedy series ''Gin Tama''
