Editing IOP Wiki:How To/GFL2/T-Doll

{{WIP}}
The main page for Tactical Dolls from [[Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium]] uses [[:Template:GFL2Doll]]. Consult the template to see parameters details.

==Core Page Examples==
*New Doll: [[Ullrid]]
*Doll that appeared in previous games: [[Daiyan (GFL2)]]

==About titles==
To distinguish the article of Dolls with the same name in another game, “(GFL2)” is specified in the title. The solution to generalize game suffix for all page was previously discussed and rejected as it made navigation less intuitive.

==Main article==
===Infobox===
*Portrait: See [[#Files]]
*Full Name: Used to exclude the “(GFL2)” part of the title from other templates.
*Role, Affiliation, Body Type, Weapon: Taken from social media introduction or in-game
*Released on: Should use [[:Template:doll_server_alias]] to list the name of the Doll on a server where it differs from the others. Should also contain release year and month.
*Voice Actors: Found on social media introduction, should be displayed with [[:Template:voice actor name]].

===Summary===
Usually left by default, the <code>summary</code> parameter can be defined to provide disambiguation links to topics with identical names.

===Corresponding characters===
For Dolls that appear in other games (identity confirmed or otherwise), use the <code>PNC</code> (for Project Neural Cloud) or <code>GFL</code> (for Girls' Frontline) parameters with the title of the corresponding article to display a quick link.

===How to obtain===
Taken from the in-game profile, and from introduction post on social media or in-game observation if there is a production timer.

===Equipment===

===Stats===

===How to use===
Free-form text for units with little to say about gameplay strategies. If there is a lot to say, create a [[#Strategy]] subpage. 

===Character Design===
Free-form text. Can contain a description of the T-Dolls' appearance and point out key design traits. Can also contain remarks from the artist, if a reference can be provided.

===Character Background===
Must contains the official social media introduction.

===Lore===
Free-form text, but only used when a [[#Story]] subpage would be too short. [[IOP Wiki:Guideline#Note on references|References]] are appreciated.

===Gallery===
The <code>gallery</code> parameter should contain only the full-body illustrations. Costume names should be indicated but any other costume information must be added to [[GFL2 Costumes]]. Any other file should be listed in the <code>galleryAlt</code> parameter.

===Trivia===
Should be presented as a bullet point list. Can include trivia about the real-world weapon that are not part of the core Weapon Background section.

==Subpages==
These are the pages accessed with the tab at the top of the main page.

===Strategy===
Free-form description of the strengths and use of the T-Doll in the gameplay.

===Story===
Should only exist if there is enough material to cover (several substantial paragraphs). If not, use [[#Lore]].

Usually organized this way:
*Section detailing the character's personality, relationships and trivia that wouldn't fit anywhere else
*Coverage of involvement in the main story
*Coverage of side stories

===Quotes===

==Files==
===Naming conventions===
Some files must respect naming conventions when uploaded because they will be displayed automatically based on their name.

Any character illustration besides the default appearance is designated "costume" and numbered (usually in the order of addition to the game). A T-Doll with four costumes would have one basic set of files bearing her name, then four sets of files bearing her name with the tag “costume1” through “costume4”.

===Where to find files===
Aside from promo images and misc illustrations, all files must be extracted directly from the game. Do not reuse files found elsewhere to ensure they are unmodified and up to date.

Use any of the methods and tools documented by the community to extract the files from the archive files named after the T-Doll. Or ask in our Discord.

'''Note''': The name of the Dolls in game files is not always the same as in-game. The technical name should be added to [[#Trivia]] for reference.

===Portraits===
;Naming Convention
*<code><Articlename>_S.png</code>

Portraits are stored in the game with the title <code>Avatar_Bust_<Dollname></code>.

File:Vector (GFL2) S.png|Portrait example: ''Vector_(GFL2)_S.png''

===Full-body illustrations===
;Naming Convention
*<code><Dollname>_Whole.png</code>
*<code><Dollname>_3D.png</code>
*<code><Dollname>_costume<Number>.png</code>

The “whole” main artwork and costumes can be found on the official website or in the game files with the name <code>Avatar_Whole_<Dollname></code>. In-game file may sometimes be cropped, in which case the website version is preferred. The in-game and website artworks may be different, in which case the website version should be stored in the Alternate gallery.

The “3D” in-game preview should be taken from the official website.

===Other artworks===
These should be displayed in the alt gallery:
*Promotional images: includes the introductory profile, official emotes and occasional artworks shared on Weibo. A link to the post should be provided on the file's page.
*Story artworks showing the Doll.
*Alternate main artworks as outline in [[#Full-body illustrations]].

==What about 3D?==
A Wiki plug-in to display 3D models is technically feasible but requires the contribution of someone with the required technical skills.
