H2, N
H2 is used to create custom level 2 and level 3 headers, mainly for the protagonist/antagonist pages who have multiple pages with tabs. Wikia/Mediawiki has problems with how it defines sections on those pages so the custom headers are necessary. N (as in None or Non-displayed) is also necessary to create the actual section on the page for each header. It hides the real header so that only the custom one is displayed under it.
=={{N|Appearance}}==
{{H2|Appearance|Jonathan Joestar/Introduction|part=PB}}
==={{N|Childhood}}===
{{H2|Childhood|Jonathan Joestar/Introduction|l=3}}
l=3 is used for level 3 headers

Creates <h4></h4>, and <h5></h5> tags without an edit button beside them. Use these if using the custom headers above.
{{H4|All Star Battle}}
{{H5|Tournament}}
Expand section
