[edit] Character box

Darrius

Darrius, as he appears in Mortal Kombat: Deception

Place of Origin Orderrealm
Appearances MK: Deception
MK: Unchained
MK: Armageddon
Species Seidan
Fighting styles Shinto Ryu (MK:D)
Leopard (MK:D)
Goju Ryu (MK:A)
Weapons Gauntlets (MK:D, MK:A)
Alignment Neutral

For character pages, you should use {{Mortal Kombat character}}.

[edit] Code

Copy and paste the code below to place a character box on an MK character page. Be sure to read the notes below before using this, it should answer some (or most) of your questions about this box and what can be done with it.

{{Mortal Kombat character
| name = name of the character goes here.
| image = image of the character goes here.
| resides = location of the character goes here.
| origin = origin of the character goes here.
| appearances = video games that the character
                appears/appeared goes here. 
| race = race/species of the character goes here.
| weapons = weapon/weapons that the character uses/used goes here.
| fighting-styles = fighting styles that the character
                    uses/used goes here.
| alignment = alignment of the character goes here.
| portrayers = people who portrayed this character goes here.
}}

Please keep the following in mind when using this character box–

  • All fields are optional except for name.
  • If you leave an optional field as blank then the row with that data won't appear (which is generally a good idea since you don't want to bore readers with a bunch of "Unknown" or "N/A" info).
  • You can use normal Wiki-markup on most fields (for bolding or italicizing things, for example).
  • If you need to make a new line (for lists of enemies or so on), use <br />. So, for example: Line 1<br />Line 2.
  • If you specify an image, you may want to specify the size as 220px if the image is larger than normal (otherwise the image may stretch the box horizontally). So instead of using [[Image:Filename.png]] you'd use [[Image:Filename.png|220px]].
  • If in doubt, you can always go to a page which already uses this box and look at the code there to get ideas or see actual real-world examples.
  • As always, use the "Show preview" button to check that things look okay before pressing "Save page".

Copy and paste the code below to place a faction box on an MK organization page. Be sure to read the notes below before using this, it should answer some (or most) of your questions about this box and what can be done with it.
