Editing Template:Ew-char

<noinclude>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 [[Optimus Prime (G1)#Transformers: Earth Wars|G1 Optimus Prime/Orion Pax]].
*image= Image to be inserted using regular syntax.  Upright=1.66 and centered works best.
*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.
*collection= The character's Collection.  Will not render without Faction.
*class= The character's Class: Warrior/Aerial/Gunner/Medic/Special/Triple Changer, but any plaintext is accepted.  This is probably the best place to list Combiner/C.O.M.B.A.T./Weapon/Titan/Prime at the moment.
*star= The minimum star rating available for a character.  "star" is included by default; just enter a number between 1 and 5.
*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 class.
*ability= The name of the character's ability or first ability of multiple.
*abilitydesc= A collapsed description of the ability.  Required if the ability parameter is used.
*cost= The cost of using the ability.  Optional.
*cooldown= The cooldown after using the ability.  Optional.
*ability2= The name of the character's second ability.  Using this parameter automatically changes the row heading from "Ability" to "Abilities".
*abilitydesc2=
*cost2=
*cooldown2=
*ability3= The name of the character's third ability, if required.
*abilitydesc3=
*cost3=
*cooldown3=
*passive= The name of the character's passive ability.
*passivedesc= A collapsed description of the passive ability.  If the ability has no name, use this ''instead'' of the passive parameter.
*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 and a scroll function.  Bulletpoints between skins and upright=1.5 and centered images work best.  Same as with Power Cores, bullet lists behave weird.

This template works like an image, floating alongside text, and interact with <nowiki>{{-}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{--}}</nowiki> in the same way.
