Help:BLCD Guide

	Romaji Names All Romaji names should be in the Family Name First Name order.

This page is to help make sure all the BLCD pages are consistant and if you have any questions or suggestions please share them with us here.

• At the bottom of this page is a complete mock up of how a BLCD page should look. Someday I may make a template out of it, but I sort of doubt it.

Top of the Page

If the CD page is a new release or future release with very little information then put {{BLCD current}} and {{BLCD future}} templates at the top of the page, respectively. Both of these templates automatically add the BLCD ReCheck category so it does not need to be included in the {{BLCD tracking}} at the bottom of the page, see here.

If the CD doesn't need either of those templates then start with the infobox at the top of the page.

About Infoboxes

{{Infobox BLCD}} is the template to use for all BLCD pages. I've included the code here but you can find more info on how to use it at the template page, including how to format each entry. Make sure to read the information provided there. If you have any questions though, feel free to ask an admin for help.

Summary and Cast Listing

After the Infobox and before the first header include the {{Collapsed toc}} template.

The Synopsis section is where both the English, if it exists, and the Japanese summary are entered. The English summary should be first, followed by 2 line breaks then the Japanese summary. Use limited formatting on the text. To give credit for the English summary use {{Baka-Updates}}, if it comes from the Baka-Updates website or {{Source}} if it comes from anywhere else. You can find more information about both templates on their respective template pages.

The Cast section is where the cast listing for the CD will go. Use the {{Cast listing}} template here. For the actual cast names use the {{Cast listing entry}} or {{cle}} shortcut. Visit both template documentation pages for more information on how to use them. If a cast member plays more than one character, put a {{Jdot}} between the name of each character. If for whatever reason you need to include an = then you must write it as {{=}}. If the CD only has a few cast members, less than 4, then don't use the {{Cast listing}} template, but still use the {{Cast listing entry}} template.

An Example:

==Cast==
{{Cast listing|
* {{cle||池田篤志|Morikawa Toshiyuki|森川智之}}
* {{cle||成川理也(黒){{Jdot}}成川理也(白)|Kamiya Hiroshi|神谷浩史}}
* {{cle||香坂遥人|Hiyama Nobuyuki|檜山修之}}
* {{cle||佐野|Shiratori Tetsu|白鳥哲}}
* {{cle||先生|Hanawa Eiji|花輪英司}}
* {{cle||杉浦|Tomita Yumiko|冨田裕美子}}
* {{cle||三森|Kyo Ayaka|許綾香}}
}}

Cast lists with Aliases are formatted differently than a regular cast list. You will want to include the real name beside the alias using the {{Small name}} template. Check the template documentation to understand how to used it.

==Cast==
{{Cast listing|
* {{cle||ＪＪ|Jougasaki Shinobu|城ヶ崎仁}} {{sn|Iida Toshinobu|飯田利信}}
* {{cle||宇賀神剣|Noriyuki|紀之}} {{sn|Sugiyama Noriaki|杉山紀彰}}
* {{cle||稲城真|Yotsuya Cider|四ツ谷サイダー}} {{sn|Okitsu Kazuyuki|興津和幸}}
* {{cle||小久保一彦|Nishijima Koto|西島古都夫}} {{sn|Ishii Makoto|石井真}}
* {{cle||金振寧(ジン{{Jdot}}チェンニン)|Oono Ken|大野剣}} {{sn|Nobe Kenta|野辺健太}}
}}

Special Section: Character Profile

If the CD is based on an Original or Game then this section can be included after the Synopsis and before the Cast sections. The formatting for this section is fairly unique so I've included an empty example below. A lot of the text that goes into this will probably be in Japanese, but leave the labels in English. Anything without a value can be removed from the {{hlist}}, remember to remove the preceeding | as well to avoid empty spaces in the list.

* '''CharacterName ( How to Read: CharacterNameHiragana ) ( CV: VoiceActor )'''
: {{hlist|Age: |Height: |Weight: |Birthday: |Blood Type: |Hobby: |Profession: }}
: Biography! (aka About the character)

Pairings and Track lists

In the Pairing/s section you will want to list all the pairings. Try not to include any other text in this section. Use the {{x}} template to ensure the multiplication sign is used instead of an alphabet x.

An Example:

==Pairing/s==
<ol><li>[[森川智之]] + [[神谷浩史]]</li>
[[Morikawa Toshiyuki]] + [[Kamiya Hiroshi]]
<li>[[檜山修之]] {{x}} [[神谷浩史]]</li>
[[Hiyama Nobuyuki]] {{x}} [[Kamiya Hiroshi]]</ol>

Following the Pairing section is the Track Listing section. Use the {{Track list}} or it's shortcut {{Tlist}} template. If the CD has more than one disc then use the <Tabber>...</Tabber> tags with an single instance of the {{Track list}} template inside each tab. Visit the template documention on how to use it.

Final Sections

The second to last section will be the Tokuten CD/s section. This section is only for media such as mini drama cds and talk cds. Use the {{Tokuten}} template in this section. If there are multiple Tokuten CDs then use the <Tabber>...</Tabber> tags with a single instance of the {{Tokuten}} template inside each tab. Visit the template page for more information on how to use it.

The last section is the External Links list. To add the external links use the, {{Amazon}}, {{Animate}}, and {{Company link}} templates. Visit their respective template documentation pages to learn how to use them. Only use them if there is a webpage available on the website. Use the {{BLCD categories}} template to add all the necessary tracking categories for the CD. Check the template page for explanation on how to use the template. Lastly, add the Seme and Uke roles using the {{Seme cat}} and {{Uke cat}} templates repectively, include as many as needed.

Tracking

At the very bottom of every BLCD page should be the {{BLCD tracking}} template. The tracking categories are explained on the template's documentation page, check there to know what each of them mean. Fill in any of the values that match to the CD so that tracking categories are automatically added.
