Some games and series may require different listings from this to suit their own needs.
Some games and series may require different listings from this to suit their own needs. List pages should only include content that can be found within a game, and should not include content explicitly outside of it. For instance: a Skill List for the original version of a game should only list skills included in that version, and should not include skills that were introduced in a major re-release. The re-release may have its own Skill List page in that case.
 
For Demons/Personas/Shadows, Skills, Items, and Equipment List pages, their listings are compiled into table templates to format and present information in an orderly manner. Because games in the ''Megami Tensei'' franchise can vary greatly from one another, often times a game will have its own set of list table templates to suit its needs.
 
Smaller lists are also used on some individual subject pages to compile targeted information, such as encounter or item location lists on location pages, the stock or services a shop offers, Demons within a Race, data pertaining to a specific skill, etc. These lists are also compiled using table templates, many of which are already included in [[Guidelines:Article Writing#Boilerplates|page boilerplates]] for convenience.
 
[[:Category:List Table Templates]] has a full list of available list templates. Be sure to read their documentation when using. For more information on formatting listings, consult the [[Guidelines:Listings|Listing guidelines]].
