Code Guide/Story+Cover

Used on: A new story page that you're creating. Purpose: Set up two pages for a story: the cover page that contains information about the story, and the chapters page that contains chapter information.

Cover
When making a new story page, it can be helpful to first make the Cover page, because the Cover page shows up as what you see when first clicking into a story. https://ensemble-stars.fandom.com/wiki/StoryName

The code for the Cover page, with no relevant information in it, is here:

Let's go through it part by part.

|Title =  : The same name you put into StoryName when going to the url. |Title JP =  : The name that the story shows in-game when you go to Story -> Campaign -> [banner of the story you're making a page for] -> whatever the Japanese is that shows up on the first and smaller of the two lines of text that show up for each chapter. |Banner = Event story #.png : For the right number, go here and click on the 144px that corresponds to the box right after the one for the previous event/scout story. In "Destination filename", you'll see a number; copy that and paste it in the # in the filename on the Cover's code. Please don't upload anything to that filename unless you can actually make good covers in the current style. |Color1 = # & |Color2 = # : The colors that will be on the cover. Traditionally, they are taken from the story's respective Event or Scout page, but sometimes people choose their own. Whatever you choose, just make sure it's easy to read; no super bright or light colors. |Season = seasonEN (seasonJP) : The season the story took place in. "seasonEN" refers to the seaon name in English, and "seasonJP" refers to how it is written in Japanese. These are contained within a little tab to the right of every chapter; tapping it will pull up information about that chapter. You usually don't have to check every chapter, but look out for chapters labeled モノローグ (Monologue) as these have a tendency to be at different times. These are usually one season, but sometimes during lore-heavy events it will change. Please list them all as you go through the chapters. Some possibilities for what will show up are listed below: Normal: Spring (春) | Summer (夏) | Autumn (秋) | Winter (冬) Time-Change Examples: Spring, One Year Ago (一年前の春) | Summer, in the Past (過去／夏) |Writer =  : The writer for the story. This is consistent throughout the whole story. There is a list of writers here; if you cannot read Japanese, just try to match up the writing to the right of シナリオライター (Story Writer) with one of the names there, and copy the category name. |Chapters =  : This is listed to the bottom left side of the page that lists the chapters in-game. Use the latter number. |Translator =  : Leave this blank unless you know it has been claimed to be translated and who is doing it (and have their permission to be open about it). |Proofreader =  : Leave this blank unless you know who is helping proofread the story (and have their permission to be open about it). If you leave it blank or delete this input, it won't show up on the template. |Characters =  : The character heads that let a reader knows who is present in the story. Go through each chapter and note down any characters that appear using the following code with a space after each character: |First Chapter =  : The url for the first chapter, found at the url Storyname/chaptername (often Prologue or Chapter 1) |Translation Notes =  : You can leave this blank; it's for if the translator has anything to note there.

For the bottom section, insert the hex code from |Color1 = # in the top section where it says "color1" in background-color:#color1;. For the gallery, fill in the cardname CG.png|chapter it appears in with that information. You can find out the chapter a CG appears in quickly by going to Story -> スチルアルバム (CG Album), the 3rd of the smaller boxes near the bottom -> [the character's image]. Then, tap on either the last CG gray-space (for gacha stories) or the second to last one and then the last one (for event stories). The second line, within the Japanese quotation marks, contains the name and number for the chapter. If you're lacking confidence with Japanese or transcribing the correct thing, you can skip this, but it's there if you can do it. For events, insert CG.png and CG2.png for the 5star and 4star respectively. For gacha, only insert the CG.png for the 5star and 4star.

And that's the Cover page data done.

What do you know about the translation status of this story? If it's not being translated, add before any other code. If you know it's being translated, add before any other code. This will tell readers and translators alike the status of the story.

Aside from categorization, there isn't any other edit you need to do to the code itself after this.

Categories
If it is an event story, categorize it with:

Replace "EventName" with the full name of the event.

If it is a gacha story, categorize it with:

Replace "ScoutName" with the full name of the gacha.

If the story contains all members of a single unit, categorize it with:

How to capitalize these categories is found here.

Now, look at the Cover, and take note of every character present. Add the following category for every character there, swapping in their name:
