User:Penguinplushie/2023 Formatting Update

Overview

All changes implemented by Admin Penguinplushie. If any editors would like to discuss any of these changes please leave a message here.

I went through all the templates and modules that were taken from Wikipedia, making changes to more personalize them to our wiki. I also added a ton of new templates, some from Wikipedia but most made from scratch, to be used on various pages on the wiki in an attempt to make most of the formatting standardized without editors needing to have spreadsheets of format information. I have pretty much started thinking of templates like stylesheets.

Still to Do
I am still working on updating these templates:

Infobox Company
Infobox Creator

Still to Be Implemented

These templates and modules haven't been created yet. They generally have to do with the upcoming changes to Creator, and Company pages. Although there are a few from the yet implemented changes to Reading, Radio, and Situation CD pages. These list will probably end up increasing, Penguinplushie seems to like making templates. :D

Overview

I went into this formatting update originally with the idea of standardizing a lot of the formatting in the infoboxes and CD pages. This eventually spilled over into the Seiyuu, Creator, and Company pages as well.

I also wanted to make the process easier for editors to input the information, so that they won't need long lists of how to enter what on a particular page. I tried to make most of the template names as easy/memerable as possible. I've updated the How to pages to try and help with this as well.

Still to Do
I am still working on updating these pages:

How to Use: Tabber tag -- Need to Create --
Resources for Information -- Need to Create --
