Star Platinum (スタープラチナ(星の白金)Sutā Purachina)
Nihongo3 Nihongo3 displays the English name alone. Hovering over it shows the hiragana/katakana/kanji. {{Nihongo3|'''Star Platinum'''|スタープラチナ(星の白金)|Sutā Purachina}}

Star Platinumスタープラチナ(星の白金)

Ruby Ruby displays the kanji alone with the furigana above it. {{Ruby|星の白金|スタープラチナ}} 星の白金(スタープラチナ)
Nihongo5 For encoding Japanese text by itself. {{Nihongo5|星の白金}} 星の白金
Nihongo6 Opposite of Nihongo. Romaji is first, then the hiragana/katakana/kanji, then English. {{Nihongo6|'''Star Platinum'''|スタープラチナ(星の白金)|Sutā Purachina}} Sutā Purachina (スタープラチナ(星の白金), Star Platinum)
Cover All of these are used in the character appearance sections for chapters and episodes. {{Cover}} (Cover only)

Shadow Adds a shadow to text. {{Shadow|I am the Ultimate Lifeform}} I am the Ultimate Lifeform
! / !! Creates a pipe (|) or two (| |).

I doubt the average wiki editor would need these, but it's necessary if you're creating advanced templates using the if parser function. {{!}} has to be placed within those functions instead of regular pipes. I'm not sure why {{!!}} is needed, but including it here anyways.

{{!}}

{{!!}}
