H2, N (Custom Headers)
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.
For custom icons, the part codes you can put are: PB, BT, SC, DU, VA, SO, SBR, JJL, OS
l=3 is used for level 3 headers
=={{N|Appearance}}==
{{H2|Appearance|Jonathan Joestar/Introduction|part=PB}}
==={{N|Childhood}}===
{{H2|Childhood|Jonathan Joestar/Introduction|l=3}}

Creates <h4></h4>, and <h5></h5> tags without an edit button beside them. Use these if using the custom headers above.

{{H5|Tournament}}
