		+	::Looks good! I like the template. The only very very minor thing that catches my attention is that most of the template is centered while the top two items are left-justified. That said, I understand why each is the way it is and I can't think of a better alternative. Oh well.
		+	::I also went ahead and removed this page from the categories inserted by the template. Once again, nice job. :) --[[User:Stux\|Stux]] 12:03, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Most [[Minor Character Variations]] pages use multiple of these templates, and they always just kinda pile up at the bottom which doesn't look that great. Since these templates are so often used together, I figured it'd look nicer and be more convenient if they were combined. So I made this:
