Information added to stat tables should be kept concise wherever possible, being no more than a sentence long. At times, there may be complicated information that would otherwise become too lengthy to explain within a stat table. In such cases, the information should instead be presented outside of the stat table as a short sentence or paragraph. For example: In ''Shin Megami Tensei'', Fiends have a 1 in 256 chance of spawning on specific tile coordinates in dungeons. Because of this complexity, their encounter location should be explained as a paragraph before the stat table and not within it. | Information added to stat tables should be kept concise wherever possible, being no more than a sentence long.

===Parameters=== | |||
Most stat tables have a common set of parameters for specific data. This section will outline those parameters and their usage guidelines. For stat tables with specific parameters, the table's own documentation should be consulted. | |||
====Name==== | |||
For quick ease of use, most stat tables are automated where they will automatically fill in the name of the subject based on the article's title. It is possible, however, to override this and input a different name by using the <code>name=</code> parameter. This should be used if the subject's name differs in-game from the article's title, or if the article title has a discriminator in it. | |||
The name of the subject should reflect the name used in the game's localization. I.e. Jack-o'-Lantern should be referred to as "Pyro Jack" in games that use this name. The exceptions to this are {{Link|Game|MIP}}, {{Link|Game|LB1}}, and {{Link|Game|DCLD}}, which should instead prioritize the original names of characters and enemies, as opposed to their ''Revelations'' and ''DemiKids'' localization names (as per our [[Guidelines:Canon#Localization versus Japanese Canon|canon policy]]). However, these games also have additional parameters to list their localization names separately as well. | |||
====Image==== | |||
Stat tables with image functionality can be accompanied with an in-game image of the subject. This will usually be of the subject's sprite, icon, model, or otherwise another type of file as required by the stat table. Stat tables without this functionality cannot have an image added. | |||
Like the subject's name, stat table images are generally automated and will automatically insert the appropriate image if one is available that matches the [[Guidelines:Files#File Naming|file naming]] scheme. For instance, the [[Template:SMT5 Party Stats|SMT5 Party Stats]] table will automatically add the Demon's icon if there is a file titled <code><nowiki>SMT5 {{{PAGENAME}}} Icon.png</nowiki></code>, with "PAGENAME" being the same as the Demon's article title. | |||
It is possible to add a different subject name to the file name by using the <code>img=</code> parameter. This should be used if the Demon's name differs from its article title, or if the article title has a discriminator in it. For instance, adding <code>img=Feng Huang</code> to a stat table will make it so that the table will specifically search for and add an image with this subject name. | |||
