Template:Gallery/BattleSprite

[edit] [purge] Template documentation

Please do not edit this template with new information about sprite ability appearances. Instead, edit this template.

Usage

For use on individual Battle Sprite pages in the "Gallery" section. Shows how the appearance of a sprite changes as it grows and if ultimates are chosen.

Code

{{Gallery/BattleSprite

|name        = {{PAGENAME}}
|appearance  = ???

|ultimate 1A = ???
|ultimate 2A = ???
|ultimate 3A = ???

|ultimate 1B = ???
|ultimate 2B = ???
|ultimate 3B = ???
}}

Parameters

|name =

The name of the sprite. Determines the file names in the gallery. Using {{PAGENAME}} is fine unless there is a disambiguation issue.

|appearance =

If the sprite is a direct, color only reskin (same shape changes just different colors) then use the name of the basic sprite family. For example, "Drakon (Divine)" would just use "Drakon." Determines which group of ultimate descriptions are used.

|ultimate 1A =
|ultimate 2A =
|ultimate 3A =

Name of the ultimate of the first, second, third skill. These will be whatever B are not. Entries determine which specific ultimate descriptions are used.

Notes

Since editors may or may not always know which ability combinations will be chosen for the sprite image, the files are simply named A and B. Find someone raising a sprite (might be you) and see which ultimates are chosen. Take a screenshot of the sprite. Enter the names of those ultimates into 1A,2A, and 3A on the page and preview the edit changes. Check your image before uploading - do the descriptions match up with what the sprite in your image looks like? If not, make sure they are entered correctly. Once that's settled, find another sprite (or the same one if the owner decides to use a reset star) that has the other three ultimates and repeat the procedure for B, or the "other ultimate image."

If the ultimate descriptions are not showing up at all, then there's either a typo in entry or the sprite has new appearances for the ultimate. Edit this template accordingly and make appropriate entries.

Image specifics: It is preferable but not necessary to take the picture while the sprite is wearing an elite iron harness. This allows easier tier and general appearance comparison while keeping the images consistent using an item that all sprites can wear (and odds are, players will have it). Again, just a preference. It is not necessary because editors should never ask someone to spend money for the game/wiki if they don't want to. Upload a file that is 485×407 - basically the size of the inspect window. Crop to the obvious edge where it suddenly gets dark on the sides. Credit the user who raised the sprite if they want to be credited (some users prefer privacy) with the upload comment: "Thanks to user: "NAME" for taking care of this sprite." Tag it with {{sprite image}}. It is prudent to compare the file to be uploaded to more recent files already in place.
