Template:Ew-char
An attempt to create a right-floating template to list relevant attributes of Earth Wars characters. The information is collapsed so as to not create excessive whitespace in the text around it.
Contains the following parameters:
- name= The character's name. Can be left blank, but probably helpful for characters who are represented twice and can be listed separately, like G1 Optimus Prime/Orion Pax.
- image= Image to be inserted using regular syntax. Upright=1.66 and centered works best. Optional, in the event of no available image.
- vertical= Experimental parameter for images that are thinner than they are tall. Relocates the information boxes to the left of the image. Probably best deprecated.
- link= For adding an external link to the bottom of the template. Uses plaintext; URL and "(character) at Transformers: Earth Wars Wiki" must be added by yourself.
The following information parameters:
- faction= Accepts any text, but probably best to stick or Autobot or Decepticon.
- unit= Standard/Combiner/C.O.M.B.A.T./Weapon/Prime (Titan will be a separate template). Will not render without Faction.
- star= The minimum star rating available for a character. "star" is included by default; just enter a number between 1 and 5.
- class= The character's Class in plaintext: Warrior/Aerial/Gunner/Medic/Special/Triple Changer for Standard bots, Companion/Melee/Shield/Range for C.O.M.B.A.T.s.
- specialclass= Deployer/Leader/Scout, which were retired from the game and rolled into Special.
- collection= The character's Collection.
- combiner= If the character is a component of a Combiner.
- components= If the character is a Combiner, list the components.
- behavior= A description of how the character attacks. Currently listed as "Weapon" on certain pages but should probably be replaced due to the introduction of Weapon unit type.
The following ability parameters:
- ability=
- abilities= If the character has plural abilities.
- special=
- passive=
- artifact=
The above can be covered by a nested template, Template:Ew-ability. But if the parameter only needs a line of text, like the Optimus Prime example below, just type that in instead.
The following compatibility parameters:
- usedby= For Weapons, what characters can use them.
- combats= What type of C.O.M.B.A.T. Bots the character is compatible with: Companion/Melee/Shield/Ranged.
- cores= The character's Bot Specific Power Cores. Bulleted lists only work with a whole line break between them?
And the following meta information parameters, which render under a separate heading:
- date= The date the character was added to the game. Will not display without counterpart parameter.
- counterpart= The character's counterpart on the opposite faction.
- skins= Plaintext field to enter images and titles. Has its own collapsible toggle (which does not work on this version of MediaWiki, but should if/when we update) and a scroll function. Bulletpoints between skins and upright=1.5 (or smaller) and centered images work best. Same as with Power Cores, bullet lists behave weird.
- notes= Plaintext field to type in notes.

This was put together in the early days of the template, for characters who have a portrait or square image. It was supposed to save space at the time, but as the number of parameters in the template increased, this seemed like more of a waste of time. Discuss?
