These pages | If a subject's Gameplay section has over five subsections, particularly with stat tables or other intensive documentation, then the entire section's contents should be split into a separate Gameplay page. These pages provide a dedicated space for documenting thorough gameplay information while keeping the main page brief. | ||
Gameplay pages | Gameplay pages have the <code>Gameplay:</code> prefix, such as <code>Gameplay:Jack Frost</code> or <code>Gameplay:Ann Takamaki</code>. They are linked to using [[Template:Gameplay]] <code><nowiki>{{Gameplay}}</nowiki></code> in the subject's Gameplay section. | ||
For characters and Demons who reoccur across more than one ''Megami Tensei'' series, it is advised to order Gameplay pages by series using this example outline: | |||

| Line 25: | Line 27: | ||
==={{Link|Game|P2IS}}=== | ==={{Link|Game|P2IS}}=== | ||
</pre> | </pre> | ||
However, for characters who only appear in one series, the series sections are not necessary and the game sections may be formatted as Level 2 subsections <code><nowiki>==Level 2==</nowiki></code> instead. | |||
Characters with [[Social Link]] information in the {{Link|Series|P-}} should be given their own Gameplay pages due to the highly comprehensive nature of this mechanic.

Because the Skill template and skill data modules are made to be universal, skill data parameters must be kept consistent with each module on the wiki. Inconsistently named parameters will cause Lua errors.

==Specific Gameplay Coverage== | |||
===Social Links=== | |||
Due to the highly comprehensive nature of [[Social Link]] mechanics in the {{Link|Series|P-}} (known as Confidants in ''Persona 5''), any character with Social Link information needs to be given their own [[#Gameplay Pages|Gameplay page]]. | |||
The wiki provides these templates for covering social links: | |||
* [[Template:SL Rank]] and [[Template:Confidant Rank]], for documenting Social Link Ranks and their requirements. Confidant Rank also has a column for unlocked abilities. | |||
* [[Template:SL Availability]], for documenting characters' availability during days and nights of the week. | |||
* [[Template:SL Event]], for documenting the prompts, responses, and outcomes that occur during "Rank Up" events. This uses a set of templates. | |||
As the Social Link mechanic is exclusive to the ''Persona'' series, there is no need to add series sections to a Social Link's Gameplay page unless it deemed absolutely necessary. Social Link information should be presented in a certain format on Gameplay pages, following this example outline: | |||
<pre> | |||
=={{Link|Game|Game Abbreviation}}== | |||
===Social Link Ranks=== | |||
===Availability=== | |||
===Rank Up Events=== | |||
</pre> | |||
For page brevity, Rank Up Events should each be placed into a [[#Tabs|tab]]. | |||
Remasters and remakes may have their own Social Link sections if they differ from the original game's. | |||
For party members who are also Social Links, battle stats should be prioritized first, following this outline: | |||
<pre> | |||
=={{Link|Game|Game Abbreviation}}== | |||
===Stats=== | |||
===Social Link Ranks=== | |||
===Availability=== | |||
===Rank Up Events=== | |||
</pre> | |||
===Persona User Stats=== | |||
In {{Link|Game|MIP}} and the ''[[Persona 2]]'' duology, party members have their own distinct stats that are either changed or augmented by their currently equipped [[Persona (Concept)|Persona]]. Party members in these games should therefore be given their own stat tables. "Signature Persona" stats (i.e. Personas that can only be equipped by certain characters) may also be included in their own [[#Tabs|tab]]. | |||
In {{Link|Game|P3}}, {{Link|Game|P4}}, and {{Link|Game|P5}}, all characters' stats mirror their current Persona, with the exception of their HP and SP stats. Party members should have their own stat table documenting their base HP and SP values along with any starting equipment, while their inherent Persona(s) should be documented in separate tabs. | |||
Stat table tabs should be labeled after the character or Persona they apply to. | |||
