::::<s>I guess I can soon delete that sub-userpage since it served its purpose.</s> Is the template intended on being used in the mainspace? I'm not sure what the best way to handle links is as some (like Cat Princess Peach) don't link the full name or have multiple links. You could make it strict where <nowiki>{{{link}}}</nowiki> must include the proper formatting and ignore <nowiki>{{{Name}}}</nowiki> if <nowiki>{{{link}}}</nowiki> is defined. Also I'd think about putting the anchor in the same cell as the name (assuming it doesn't mess with sorting). And the only trouble with using names instead of numbers is if the spirit is renamed like with Slime or Dimitri, but that has only happened maybe 5 times (numbers get confusing if you go by pre-2.0.0 numbers). --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 20:44, November 18, 2020 (EST)

:::::The template is intended to eventually be used in the mainspace, but I wanted to ensure its quality first. I was initially thinking of just having link be a y/n linking within SmashWiki, but now that you mention it it would probably be better to enable interwiki links somehow. I completely forgot about the anchor while making the template, but yeah it should be a part of it since it will always be the same name, given what I've seen from pages where the anchor is used it shouldn't cause any issues, but we should double-check. The reason we chose names over numbers as identifiers was because numbers would have made the whole system cumbersome to use, as pulling up an image would require referencing the lists of spirits to find the appropriate number. It's not just about pulling up the image within a template, but also for the times where an image needs to be referred to within a gallery. Also, this whole thing is likely going to take a while to properly do, I wanted to set up the framework so that I could deal with it in the future when I have less obligations.

::::::Something I wanted to mention before everything is set in motion is to keep in mind some spirits have different names between NTSC and PAL. Ones that come to mind are Nico Fire (NTSC) and Nico Flame (PAL) or Crispin (NTSC) and Geoff (PAL). I mainly mention this for the filenames. The differences aren't mentioned on the series lists (except at the bottom in "Series Order") but are mentioned (or should be if I caught them in the mass edit) on individual pages like [[Dr. Kawashima]]. Because the template you made doesn't end with a pipe, the differences can be appended after the template if needed; I don't see a large need to add it to the template since only 15 spirits are like this. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 13:49, November 19, 2020 (EST)
