Ch writes out the chapter number and title. Ep writes out the episode number and title. Vo writes out the volume name. MagCh writes out the chapter number and its original title during serialization. Works in conjunction with ChapterVariables, EpisodeVariables, VolumeVariables, and MagazineVariables. New chapters/episodes/volumes need to be added in those pages for Ch, Ep, Vo, and MagCh to work. {{Ch|Chapter 154}} Chapter 154: Justice, Part 1

Formatting

Template What it does Example Result
Nihongo Used to display Japanese.

By default, Nihongo displays the English name, the name in hiragana/katakana/kanji, and the name in romaji.

{{Nihongo|'''Star Platinum'''|スタープラチナ（星の白金）|Sutā Purachina}} Star Platinum (スタープラチナ（星の白金）, Sutā Purachina)
You can change the order of names as well: {{Nihongo|スタープラチナ（星の白金）|Sutā Purachina|Star Platinum|type1=J|type3=E}} スタープラチナ（星の白金） (Sutā Purachina, Star Platinum)
Cover All of these are used in the character appearance sections for chapters and episodes. {{Cover}} (Cover only)
Mo {{Mo}} (Mentioned)
Death {{Death}} (Death)
Flash {{Flash}} (Flashback)
1st {{1st}} (Debut)
Full {{Full}} (1st full appearance)
1stm {{1stm}} (1st mentioned)
Corpse {{Corpse}} (Corpse only)
Photo {{Photo}} (Photo)
S, Sm, C Inserts {{Sm|}} to make text smaller. S creates brackets while Sm does not. C is the same as S but has a space before it, usually used in the character appearance sections for chapters / episodes. {{S|ASB}} (ASB)
{{Sm|Something}} Something

White2 Changes linked text to white for certain colored areas that need white text for visibility. {{White2|Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan}} Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan
You can change how the link displays as well: {{White2|Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan|When's the next OVA?}} When's the next OVA?
Shadow Adds a shadow to text. {{Shadow|I am the Ultimate Thing}} I am the Ultimate Thing
! / !! Creates a pipe (|) or two (| |).

I doubt the average wiki editor would need these, but it's necessary if you're creating advanced templates using the if parser function. {{!}} has to be placed within those functions instead of regular pipes. I'm not sure why {{!!}} is needed, but including it here anyways.

{{!}}

{{!!}}

|

- Functions the same as <br style="clear:both;" />. "Clears" both margins. It is often used before a header to make sure that the header will be the full width of the page. {{-}} See the template page for examples.
