Template:CharacterList/doc

The CharacterList template is used to display a set of characters who can equip a certain piece of equipment in Dragon Quest games. It specifically applies to the set of characters which share some common attribute (commonly a piece of equipment that can be equipped or a spell that can be learned) in a single game.

Usage

In almost all cases, using this template should be preceded by a heading for the game and a subheading of 'Characters'. This specifies what information the table actually contains.

Header

A header call to this template should be the first usage of this template on any page.

Equipment

When used for equipment, the header should be as follows.

{{CharacterList|header|equipment}}

header: A required parameter which marks this as the start of a character table.
equipment: A required parameter to utilize the correct styles.

Spells

When used for spells, the header should be as follows.

{{CharacterList|header|spell}}

header: A required parameter which marks this as the start of a character table.
spell: A required parameter to utilize the correct styles.

Entries

Each entry in the character table is represented by a single template call.

{{CharacterList|entry|character=[[Ragnar]]}}

entry: A required parameter which marks this as a single character table entry.
character: The name of the character. Should be an interwiki link. Also, if this character only applies to a specific console version of the game, this should be noted in parentheses (i.e. (NES, GBC)).

Footer

The footer call marks the end of the character table.

{{CharacterList|footer}}

footer: A required parameter marking the template as the footer.
