Hi, I'd like to welcome you personally to Gundam Fanon Wiki. I hope you are and will be continuing to have a great time here, but there are a few things I want to bring up to you that'll keep your pages standardized to the rest of the wiki and overall more easily accessible and organized.

There's the Writer tag template that, when put on one of your pages, informs whoever views the page it is on that it is your property and that, barring any mistakes made, fixing a site-wide template malfunction, or corrections made for the sake of improving the overall quality of the page, others may not edit it without your direct permission. It also places the page inside of a mass category under your name which will ensure that the page doesn't become lost over time and keep it in close proximity with your other content. You can see how it looks on your first page, the G-EX-01 Gundam Exceed, as an example of how it is meant to be placed on a page and how it will look with the rest of your content on said page. You're also able to create your own writer tag so that you can stylize it in any way you see fit and make it your own, rather than using the simple long red rectangle look of the default tag.

There's also the content within your infoboxes. With the weapons equipment sections of your pages's infoboxes, the list becomes stack on top of one another after the second item in the list. This is mostly due to how Fandom/Wikia want infoboxes to function a certain way, meaning some things like simple spacing doesn't work out all that well anymore. You're able to use bullets to circumvent these problems and properly put the list into an actual list rather than something that falls apart onto itself, like this:

Which will result in something looking like this:
 * armaments =
 * x4 Beam Saber
 * x2 Anti-Mobile Suit Dagger
 * x2 60mm Vulcan Gun
 * x2 Beam Arm Vulcan
 * x1 155mm Sniper Rifle



Personally, I prefer using  in between items within a list without having to enter into a new line. It looks more cluttered in source editor and while editing the infobox itself, but it achieves the same result: If you use this way of formatting on some fields in the infobox, however, it can negate some of the coding within the template and make it not work. While these are few and few in between others that do no such thing, it should be recommended to stick with one style rather than switching between the two like me.
 * armaments = x4 Beam Saber x2 Anti-Mobile Suit Dagger x2 60mm Vulcan Gun x2 Beam Arm Vulcan x1 155mm Sniper Rifle

The last one that is sort of a weird thing to get anal about is the difference between the and
 * |storyline= field
 * |universe= field.

You keep putting the name of your storyline, Mobile Suit Gundam Crisis, in the universe field when it should be in storyline. Universe refers to the timeline, calendar, what have you that your story takes place within. It is fine to leave either blank, but if you do want to put that information there, please place it in the proper field.

Most of what I'm saying is to help your page become better and should not be taken as either harsh, blunt, rude, condescending, or whatever you feel the general tone of this message is. I really want you to have a good time editing here since there's barely anyone here active that isn't lurking across the site, and I wouldn't want to make it feel uncomfortable. I'm enjoying the content on your pages that is unconnected to that formatting problem and it's really good. I hope to see more like it at some point.

If you need any help for any problems you have while editing, you can contact any of the active administrators (Wingstrike, DarkGhostMikel, and Another Poetic Spartan) via their message walls, or more directly on the Discord server here. Like I said, have fun and enjoy your stay at Gundam Fanon Wiki.
