Intro to page goes here. Currently being designed: see User talk:(7)6(four).

Each entry with one bullet is a style. They should consist of a name, followed by a colon, followed by a URL to an image showcasing that style (Wikia, Imgur, etc; anything that will show up as an image on the page). Style names can be any combination of alphanumeric characters and hyphens, but must be unique within their category. Their main purpose is ease of editing the list.

Each entry with two stars is a pony. They should start with a link to the pony, formatted as a wikilink to that pony would usually be formatted - display text, quotes for placeholder names, etc. This is followed by a colon, followed by the species of that pony: Earth, Unicorn, Pegasus, or Crystal. Ponies should be listed under all applicable styles.

Each entry with three stars is additional tags for the pony above it. Order does not matter as long as all three-star entries for a pony are grouped together. The following tags can be added. Frequency: this indicates how often the pony has the style it is listed under; if "always", this tag can be omitted. Options are: always, usually, sometimes.

Spacing and capitalization of anything other than pony links is irrelevant. Try to follow existing patterns. Anything not in between the "Start" and "End" headings is ignored by the script. Do not alter the headings.

How to add a pony:
 * 1) To be written. Assume no knowledge of wiki.

Todo: maximum size of thumbnails? Need a convenient thing for getting scaling URLs.

Any other comments to editors, etc. go here.

Notes for script:
 * Be able to choose character for whom to generate list.
 * Support different types of pages. E.g. Eiffel - full list; Dr. Hooves - only full design sharing; Thorn - multiple paragraphs (probably need a tag)
 * Notify if not different from current text of section (maybe make this functionality useful in other ways).
 * Specify which cutie mark when pony has more than one - cutie marks change most often, so not sure if it's worth marking them "sometimes".
 * Ignore erroneous entries and show a list of them after running.
 * Depending on runtime, maybe there should be a "prepare" button to do all parsing once before running characters.
 * Would be nice to have the script change any nonexistent image embeds (placeholder image) to links to see where the file was moved.
