This page aims to document various tools and templates used throughout Dragdown, possible implementations and how to format them so that they are used properly.
Commonly tools and templates on all pages
Table Of Contents
Documentation: Template:TOC limit
Template:
{{TOC limit|Number Here}}
A navigation list made up of all the headers (text surrounded by '=' signs (==Header==) on a page).
Adding an index after the limit| will limit the TOC to only show up to a specific header level. Useful if you have many sections with many subheaders that you might not want to bloat the TOC at the side of a page(examples include the Strategy pages of characters).
Move Cards
Documentation: Template:SSBU_Move_Card
Best to avoid changing anything unless you know what you are doing. If you want to modify framedata on Move Cards, you will want to navigate to the /Data page of the respective character, e.g. SSBU/Mario/Data.
Example:
{{SSBU Move Card |chara=Pit |attack=Up Smash |specificHits= |description= *PlaceHolder }}
DamageThe raw damage percent value(s) of the listed move that the game calculates damage and staling from. | Frames ActiveThe frames of this move where there are active hitboxes that can affect opponents. | Total FramesThe total number of animation frames for this move. Landing lag for applicable moves will be listed under "Additional Data". | AngleThe launch angle of this move. 0 degrees is directly away from the attacking character, and this value angles up counter-clockwise. | Shield SafetyThe difference between the attacker's endlag and the period that the opponent is in shieldstun. This frame advantage value is based off the assumption that the very first active frame connects with the opponent's shield. | ProtectionAny kind of body part intangibility, invulnerability, or armor that the move has. |

- PlaceHolder
Base KB | Fixed KB | KB Growth | Landing Lag | Autocancel Window | Shieldstun | Shieldlag | Bonus Shield Damage | Direct Hitbox | Clang ReboundThe type of interaction when a hitbox interacts with another hitbox Rebound interacts by clanking with other hitboxes, causing the rebound property if the hitbox doesn't deal over 9.0% damage than the opposing hitbox it is clanking with. Trample interacts by clanking with other hitboxes, but doesn't cause the rebound property. Transcendent cannot interact with other hitboxes. No Stop interacts by clanking with other hitboxes, but doesn't stop being active. Unique to Mii Gunner's Grenade Launch. |

Ambox
Documentation: Template:Ambox
Amboxes is a notice template that is used to highlight/group up information that belong to the same category. You will often see these templates in the |unique_mechanicx= parameter to show off fighter's unique abilities effects.
Examples
{{Ambox |image='''Benefits''' |border=green |info=These benefits disappear after losing a stock |type= '''+''' 1.3× damage multiplier to all attacks(Except Items and {{clr|special|Supernova}}) ---- '''+''' Gains an additional Jump ---- '''+''' Increased Walk, Dash and Run Speed, as well as their Acceleration values. ---- '''+''' Increased Air Acceleration and Speed, Gravity and Fall Speed ---- '''+''' Heavy Armor(20%) on all {{clr|smash|Smash Attacks}} }}
Benefits | + 1.3× damage multiplier to all attacks(Except Items and Supernova)
+ Gains an additional Jump + Increased Walk, Dash and Run Speed, as well as their Acceleration values. + Increased Air Acceleration and Speed, Gravity and Fall Speed + Heavy Armor(20%) on all Smash Attacks These benefits disappear after losing a stock |
Coloring Text
Documentation: Template:Color/Template:Clr
Coloring serves as a way to emphasise text that notates moves, such as F-Tilt. You should be using this wherever applicable, on every page.
Examples
{{clr|tilt|Jab 1}}, {{clr|smash|Up Smash}}, {{clr|aerial|FAir}}, {{clr|grab|Pivot Grab}}, {{clr|special|Neutral Special}}
Jab 1, Up Smash, FAir, Pivot Grab, Neutral Special
Prompts
Documentation: Template:Prompt
Prompts are used to help visualise button presses and Analog Stick movement. They are used on Overview pages, to demonstrate how to use a move. Prompts also support FGC characters' motion inputs.
Examples
{{Prompt|Z}}, {{Prompt|X}}, {{Prompt|Y}}, {{Prompt|Analog Smash Left}} + {{Prompt|A}} , {{Prompt|Analog Right}} + {{Prompt|B}}, {{Prompt|C Neutral}} + {{Prompt|A}}, {{Prompt|Analog QCB}}, {{Prompt|Analog QCF}}, {{Prompt|Analog HCF}}, {{Prompt|Analog DP}}, {{Prompt|Analog QCD}}

StockIcons
Documentation: Template:StockIcon
StockIcon is used when you want to mention other characters, and add a hyperlink to the character's Overview page.
Examples
{{StockIcon|SSBU|Steve}}, {{StockIcon|SSBU|King Dedede}}, {{StockIcon|SSBU|Pyra & Mythra}}, {{StockIcon|SSBU|Pyra}}
Steve, King Dedede, Pyra & Mythra, Pyra
Keywords and Tooltips
Documentation of Templates: Template:Tt, Template:Term, Template:GlossaryData
Repository: Glossary
Dragdown has a glossary of common Smash terms that are used. Readers may use it to learn/cross-ref phrases or concepts during reading. To help keep text engaging and reduce the necessity of cross-referencing, there is a Term template that utilizes the Tooltip (Tt) template to place a tooltip of the definition of the term if the reader mouses over them. The keyword in question must be stored in the site's Glossary first, by using our GlossaryData template on the Glossary page to add a term to the Cargo so it can be retrieved via Keyword.
If you ever want to make a helpful tooltip that is completely unrelated to any terms in our Glossary, you can always use the Tooltip (Tt) template directly to write whatever you may want, instead of Keyword.
Example
If you're a Sheik player about to complain that you died in 1 hit to a Revenge boosted Alolan Whip, remember: No {{term|john}}s
Appears as
If you're a Sheik player about to complain that you died in 1 hit to a Revenge boosted Alolan Whip, remember: No johnAn excuse for a player's underperformance that results in a match loss.s
Tabber
There is no documentation for this because its a HTML thing, but I'm gonna write down what I know here.
Tabber is often used on the Matchup page where there are Echo Fighters; the Matchup guide is similar enough as the characters fought have about the same way to approach. However, it is seperated since they technically aren't the same character.
Tabber can also be used as a seperater when you want points of similar details on the same tab/area.
Important to note that Tabbers won't show up on Show Preview.

Strategy Pages
Repurpose Overview Page Templates
Templates and elements on Overview pages can be repurposed and used for the strategy section. Few examples included below.
Reusing General Move Cards
You can use the same move card to show the move used, but change the description for the context. This way, you don't have to keep going back and forth refering to frame data.
Showing off Images of Moves
If you want to show off a specific move for visualisation purposes, you can have the page display the image. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED you change the size of the image to something smaller so that the image doesn't clog up everything. 340px by 180px is good enough for the most part(and the one used by Dustloop so therefore a good enough size)
Examples
<center> <gallery widths="340px" heights="180px" mode="nolines"> Kazuya_CJab.png | '''{{clr|tilt|Crouch Jab}}''' Kazuya_CJab.png | '''{{clr|tilt|Crouch Jab}}''' </gallery> </center>

Matchup Pages
Matchup Box
Documentation of Templates mentioned: Template:MatchupSummaryBox
Used to have a short summary describing the matchup. Optional favorability.
Example:
{{MatchupSummaryBox |game=SSBU |character=Terry |favorability={{clr|grab|Mirror}} |oneliner=Both of you have GO. Silly matchup. |summary= Summary text goes here * Summary text goes here too }}
