The top of all the character pages should have a {{Navbox fighter}} on it, which has the following standard pages:
| Fighter |
|---|
This navbox should not be directly included on any pages. Instead, a template based on this exists for each character, and that template goes on the top of each of the pages linked. Right now these are just named after the character, e.g. {{Lee}} is the Lee navbox. (It would be clearer if we'd called the pages e.g. {{Navbox Lee}}, but changing that now would be a bother.)
The main page (e.g. Paul) should have on it {{Infobox fighter}}, {{Archetype}}, {{BlueRed}}, {{KeyTechs}}, {{Punishment}}, and {{Navbox fighter}} transcludes.
The standard subpages should be based on {{Movelist}}, {{Strategy}}, {{Punishers}}, and {{Combos}} respectively. A lot of existing subpages are not based on the current templates and need updating. (Write e.g. {{subst:Combos}} on the combos pages to copy it over quickly.)
The changelog pages all already exist and source everything from Module:Patch. To update these, update the relevant patch page.
More pages can be added to the navbox if necessary on a per-character basis, as in e.g. {{Lee}}. Don't add the character name to the title unless there's ambiguity, e.g. call the page Acid Rain and not Lee Acid Rain or Acid Rain (Lee), because there's no other character with Acid Rain.
Deprecated layout
Previously, the navboxes used a {{Row}} transclude, and each subpage was written in manually. These typically included some subpages that are no longer standard:
- Fighter neutral, scope is now covered by Fighter strategy.
- Fighter setups, scope is now covered by Fighter strategy.
- Fighter matchups, used to be based on {{Matchups}}. Scope is now handled by putting the information in one of the relevant subpages.
- The idea behind these was that the matchup pages would be symmetrical, e.g. Kuma vs Lee would be written for and read by both Lee and Kuma players, and this would avoid redundancy. However, in practice, the scope of these pages rarely got beyond people listing their combos and punishers that were specific to the matchup (or even worse, copying the same combo to 5-10 different matchup pages), and this structure just ended up making that information scattered, disorganized, and less visible.
- Any information currently in a matchup page should be moved to a more visible page. For example, all of the info in Kuma vs Lee can be moved to Lee combos.
