Template:Unit2/doc


 * This template is solely a extended version of the original Template:Unit to solve the problem with units having different ascension image and quotes.

The following text is the entire template, which can be copied/pasted into the source editor when creating new pages. Note that the parameter names are case sensitive. Spacing and order do not matter, however the Unit List bot expects every parameter to be on a separate line, as well as a separate line for the closing braces.

Some units may not use all parameters. In such cases, it is recommended to exclude the unnecessary parameters instead of leaving them blank.

Parameters

 * name
 * Used to handle duplicates. If a unit is known to have the same name as another unit but has a different pagename, then this parameter can be used to override the name instead of having the pagename used as the name of the unit.

 * Using this parameter will also include at the top a link that will refer to the unit's disambiguation page in case there are other units with the same name.

Images
Unit art can be uploaded by clicking on the empty unit art placeholder of an existing unit template. This must be done while viewing the page, not editing it.

Clicking on the empty unit art placeholder will bring you to a page where you can upload your image file to the wiki. Make sure that you upload the correct image for the unit and its evolution.

If a unit's image does not display after uploading the image file, republish the unit page. This can be done by simply clicking on edit and then clicking publish, without changing anything in the source editor.

Using the unit art for JP Ishtaria (刻のイシュタリア) is highly discouraged when the unit is not yet released in Age of Ishtaria. If a contributor is to upload the images from JP Ishtaria as placeholders, they must be marked for deletion using the delete template so they can be easily deleted later.

Conditions

 * Submitted images for unit art MUST be saved in  format. DO NOT save a lossy image such as one in   format in   format.
 * Submitted images for unit art MUST be stitched from screenshots saved in their native  format. DO NOT stitch an image from lossy screenshot source files such as those in   format.
 * Submitted images for unit art MUST have an aspect ratio of 2:3.
 * The naming format for uploading unit images is formatted as specified: Unit_Name.png, Unit_Name+1.png, or Unit_Name+2.png where "Unit_Name" is the name of the unit.
 * In cases where there exists different units with the same name, use the name of the page instead of the name of the unit: Unit_Name_(Event).png, Unit_Name_(Event)+1.png, or Unit_Name_(Event)+2.png where "Unit_Name" is the name of the unit and "Event" is the name of the event.

Guide
As there is no easy way to teach contributors how to extract the image art from the files due to how Age of Ishtaria stores file assets, this guide serves as a way to construct images through other means.

To start with, however, it is recommended to have two things:
 * A fairly high resolution device, preferably at least 1080p wide
 * An image uploading site that is lossless - that is, does not convert files to different formats:  to   in particular. Examples:
 * Pushbullet
 * Puush
 * imgur may also work, as long as the files aren't large enough to be converted to.

Instructions

 * 1) View the unit you want to screenshot art for in the album.
 * 2) Tap on the unit art to view the unit art with full spread width.
 * 3) Screenshot the top and the bottom of the unit art. Devices may have different ways of taking screenshots, but the most common method is to hold  at the same time.
 * 4) Repeat step 3 for each unit evolution if they are available.
 * 5) Upload your image files to a site where others can view and use it OR stitch the images yourself and upload those.
