Template:Appearances

A Word of Warning
While it is possible to insert using the visual editor, and I have done so when I had extra time on hand,  this template is obscenely large . If you attempt to insert or edit it with the visual editor, then, unless your Computer, ISP,  and  Wikia's servers can handle the request effectively, the presently active Wiki page (other tabs & pages unaffected) that you are inserting the template into may freeze for anywhere between 3 minutes and an indefinite period of time as it attempts to load the Template Editor. The inline editor works exceptionally well and you only need to know what page number fits one of the below Sub-Templates. (See the below example).

Usage
This template is intended for usage in combination with the below sub-templates to indicate if a subject appears, is under another's control, is mentioned, we're unsure, or none of the above.

NSFW
The tags simply warn that the Minikind/Side Story in question contains content that may not be safe for a work/public environment. It is for use only with Minikinds and Side Stories as entering the tag on a chapter heading for the comic would be far too broad.

If it doesn't affect page number widths too much, a future update to this template may include the tag on select page numbers.

Parameters
There is 1 parameter (CharacterName) for the name of the subject portrayed and hundreds of others (labeled, , … ), one for each page of the comic. In other words, there are around one thousand parameters. To prevent blank parameters from floating around the sheet, a blank parameter will default to. This means that you can leave everything except pages matching the below content categories blank.

Template:B
This template divides between chapters and indicates pages not in the chapter of the row it's inserted into. (E.G. Page 6 is not in the Prologue and the line separating Chapters 11 and 12.)

Example: (The "…" is simply to expand the cell so it will be viewable and is not necessary if you have surrounding cell structures that can manage cell dimensions.)

Template:N
This template indicates that the subject neither appeared nor was mentioned. I have set Appearances to default Blank Parameters to this Template. (E.G. Keith does not appear anywhere in The Prologue.)

Example:

Content Sub-Templates
You can link to either the archived comic pages or any external link using the below templates in conjunction with these parameters

Parameters
The below templates contain the below components
 * 1 = Number of the comic. (use this one only if linking to one of the archived comic pages and ignore the other two parameters. Ignore this parameter if creating an external link.)
 * 2 = the beginning of a link [http://2kinds.com/minikinds/cover.jpg
 * 3 = The end of a link ]]

Template:U
This template indicates that the subject may have been named or made an appearance, but we are unsure. (E.G.Trace on page 723 in Chapter 16.) Example:

Template:M
This template indicates that the subject featured is merely mentioned. (E.G.Saria au Gruhen on page 145 in Chapter 6: Part 1.) Example:

Template:I
This template indicates that the subject is implied or appears indirectly, meaning that he/she/it spoke offscreen, isn't appearing as him/her/itself, is seen in an image, or is acting under an external influence. (E.G. Flora under Ephemural's control on page 162 in Chapter 6: Part 2.)

Example:

Template:Y
This template indicates that the subject made an appearance.

It also links to the page in question. (E.G. Trace on Page 1 in The Prologue.)

Example:

Linking
Because of the way the Template is designed and the Sub-templates are formatted:
 * 1) You can link simply and directly to the webcomic by using the format:
 * 2) You can leave links completely out (E.G. Don't have a link to use in the first place) by using the format:
 * 3) Or you can add a custom hyperlink by using the format:  It is essential to close the hyperlink with a vertical bar before an end bracket or the sub-template will not know that the corresponding Template letter is supposed to be the linked text or it will look like:
 * {| class="wikitable"


 * }
 * }
 * }

Examples
If you insert the below text:

The above templates change the cell backgrounds and insert a letter depending on the template chosen.
