Nihongo Different ways of displaying Japanese.

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

Nihongo2 Nihongo2 displays the English name with the hiragana/katakana/kanji in smaller font beside it. Hovering over it shows the romaji. {{Nihongo2|'''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）)

Nihongo5 For encoding Japanese text by itself. {{Nihongo5|星の白金}} Template:Nihongo5
Nihongo6 Opposite of Nihongo. Romaji is first, then the hiragana/katakana/kanji, then English. {{Nihongo6|'''Star Platinum'''|スタープラチナ（星の白金）|Sutā Purachina}} Template:Nihongo6

{{Sm|Something}} Something
{{C|Mentioned in flashback}} (Mentioned in flashback)

Dead

Resigned
UF
Lead
Lead2
Ghost
Null
*

Creates symbols. Dead, Resigned, UF (Unknown Fate), Lead, Lead2, and Ghost are used in character boxes. Null and * are used in Stand stats. {{Dead}} {{Resigned}} {{UF}} {{Lead}} {{Lead2}} {{Ghost}} {{Null}} {{*}} † ☮ ⚓ ★ ✩ 👻 ∅ ※
White Changes the font to white text for certain colored areas that need white text for visibility. {{White|Highlight the result.}} You can't see this.
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 Lifeform}} I am the Ultimate Lifeform
! / !! 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.
ImageSize Resizes images to proper size for infoboxes (275px). [[File:JotaroProfile.png|{{ImageSize}}]] See any infobox on character pages.
Hover Changes text to something else when hovered over. {{Hover|Jotaro Kujo|Star Platinum}} Jotaro KujoStar Platinum
Hide Hides text with a "show" button. {{Hide|Hi}} Template:Hide
HoverCharSpoiler Hides text with a spoiler box. {{HoverCharSpoiler|Bye}} SpoilerBye
H2, N (Custom Level 2/3 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

    N just needs the name for the header. H2 needs the former, and then the page title (so that the edit button works) and then an optional part icon. l=3 can be placed afterwards for making level 3 headers.
  • =={{N|Appearance}}==
{{H2|Appearance|Jonathan Joestar/Introduction|part=PB}}
    ==={{N|Childhood}}===
{{H2|Childhood|Jonathan Joestar/Introduction|l=3}}

    Result:


    AppearanceLink to this sectionEdit.png


    ChildhoodEdit.png
H4, H5
  • 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}}

    Result:

    All Star Battle
    Tournament
Quote and Q
  • Creates quotations. 
    {{Quote|Yare Yare Daze|Jotaro Kujo}}
{{Q|Yare Yare Daze|Jotaro Kujo}}
    Result:
    “
    Yare Yare Daze
    ”
    —Jotaro Kujo
    “
    Yare Yare Daze
    ”
    —Jotaro Kujo
