The purpose of this thread is to manage the creation of new templates that will be a replacement to the existing Tab2 template.
The list of pages currently using the Tab2 template can be found here. The only pages that should have the template replaced are actual articles and not sandboxes or blog posts.
The list of newly created templates can be found here. If you want to check if a character has already had a template created for them, you can check this list.
To create a new navigation template for the character, go to this URL:
https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Template:
Followed by the name of the character you are making the template for. For example:
https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Monkey_D._Luffy
And then copy-paste the format for the template to that page.
The format of the new template will look like this:
{|class="about-article" style="{{#if: {{{minwidth|}}} | min-width: {{{minwidth}}}em; }}"
! Articles about<br>[[Template:Monkey D. Luffy]]
| [[Monkey D. Luffy (Pre-Timeskip)|Pre-Timeskip]] • [[Monkey D. Luffy (Post-Timeskip)|Post-Timeskip]]
|}{{-}}<noinclude>[[Category:Article List Templates]]</noinclude>
For the section on "Articles about", you will need to put the name of the template which will be the primary name of the character. In this case, for Template: Monkey D. Luffy, the name used is "Template:Monkey D. Luffy" as seen above.
After that, the next section is for the articles. The current display on the tabbers should be recreated here with a link to the page, and a name for the link. In the above example the link to "Monkey D. Luffy (Pre-TImeskip)" has a simple name of "Pre-Timeskip". The end result will be formatted like this: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Monkey_D._Luffy
When adding the template to the pages, replace the Tab2 template with the new template in this format at the top of the page:
{{Monkey D. Luffy}}
If any pages are locked and you cannot add the new template to them, post in this thread so that a member of staff can update the page.
For staff members creating these new templates, be sure to protect them so only registered users can edit them. For particularly important characters, such as Superman or Goku, locking the pages so only Admins can edit them may be necessary.
Assistance from both staff and experienced users will be necessary for this project as there are a large volume of pages to cover.
