Reformatting Guardian Ghosts
The template currently supports only two listings, but a number of major characters have 3 or more spirits that qualify. While additional parameters could be added to accommodate these additional spirits, at ~4 lines per spirit, this would stretch their infoboxes even further.

I propose consolidating them into one shared parameter, which would look something like this. It saves space, can accommodate any number of spirits, and can be broken up or ordered as needed (e.g. by class, by usage).

Alternatively, the section could be divided by type, if you want to cement the class-distinctions. However, this limits the order in which spirits can be listed. Dragonus Nesha (talk) 18:42, 8 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Even if you don't agree with condensing the section, the labels need to be updated since the entries for "Japanese Name" aren't in Japanese. Dragonus Nesha (talk) 13:35, 15 June 2021 (UTC)


 * It would make sense, to change the parameter for the japanese name, to just "Name" since it, unlike the one in the main character box, is not written in Kanji. On the other topic, I do not favor the new version you have suggested, since it removes some of the details, that make that portion of the infobox, looks nice. With that said, I have not responded so far, because I am unsure what alternatives to suggest. Gojita (talk) 15:59, 15 June 2021 (UTC)Gojita


 * Which details are you wanting to preserve? Dragonus Nesha (talk) 16:05, 15 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Let's not pointlessly delay this for months like the previous infobox updates. Dragonus Nesha (talk) 16:57, 3 July 2021 (UTC)


 * The listing of name & type in two collums, like the current version, instead of just listing them by name. Also your second suggestion, wouldnt make sense, because not every character have a guardian ghost of the same type. Per your example, only a few of them have Kami Class spirits.

 * For the second one, each class would have a separate entry, like the different naming entries (Japanese, Romanization, English). I only included one to give an idea, and forcing the sample template to do more caused other design issues (Note: these issues wouldn't be in the actual template).
 * As for the first one, we can include any information we want in it. It's an open layout. Class could be included in parentheses, or subdivide the entry like is done with multiple Shamans and/or multiple VAs. Dragonus Nesha (talk) 15:25, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

I've created a draft version; the "spirit" input is for the open layout. I encourage you to test out different formatting in the layouts to find what works best for you. I'd like to have this update resolved by the end of July. Dragonus Nesha (talk) 15:27, 9 July 2021 (UTC)


 * If you're good with the redesign, then unlock this template so I can make the necessary changes to it. Dragonus Nesha (talk) 14:27, 15 August 2021 (UTC)


 * It'd be great if this update could be implemented. Dragonus Nesha (talk) 17:18, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
