Due to the potential demands of some templates and the pain I and others have experienced with finding a specific kanmusu card, these images need to be standardized. Add anything you would like to the page to assist in brainstorming as long as it doesn't border on vandalism.
- Kanmusu images need uniform formatting and, ideally, they need to be the same file type (Either .png or .jpg) to expand template possibilities.
- Hopefully Totaku and others can get on board with this, but otherwise I'll need movement privileges and a lot of feedback about how to standardize them once and for all.
- 241.png (Littorio) is my current vote for formatting. For kanmusu with single or double digit dex numbers, zeros should be added as placeholders for the unused digits.
- Other possibilities off the top of my head are 241_Littorio.png or Littorio.png (I despise this one). Including a ship's name could be useful, but generally it's more convenient to stick with numbers. Wsewolod (talk) 08:38, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
- I like this idea, and the naming scheme you have below for Sole Dex Number is good, but think that it should be "A B C" for "Base Kai Kai-Ni". A stripped number could cause issues because you have to explain that single-ships get nothing but if they add an new model, then you need to move it to A and make the kai ni the no-name.

- So, letter suffixes for ships like Littorio and the like? No harm is done by adding something that simple and easy to type, but I left it out of Kai Ni because these always involve a dex number change, and any remodels past then (like with Bismarck) undergo further number changes. I'll look back over the oddities like Chitose-Class and Bismarck (They may be the only 4+ remodels?) and see if there are additional changes needed to accomodate them. At the moment, I equally favor your suggestion and my initial one, so another party "voting" would be helpful. Feel free to edit the "Additional Letter Suffix" subheading to further explain your suggested changes. Wsewolod (talk) 02:14, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
Sole Dex Number
For kanmusu cards, as seen on the individual ship pages:
- 001A.png for Nagato.
- 001B.png for Nagato Kai.
- 010A.png for Shimakaze.
- 010B.png for Shimakaze Kai.
- 120A.png for Kinugasa.
- 120B.png for Kinugasa Kai
- 142.png for Kinugasa Kai Ni. (Other dex numbers with only one card assigned to them, like Littorio, can forego the lettering.)
For full-size images like those used in gallery pages:
- 001A_.png for Nagato.
- 001A_Dmg.png for Nagato's damaged CG.
- The developers sometimes update kai artwork, making the "A" suffix even for dex numbers with only one pair of images assigned to them helpful.
Suffixes can vary across events for seasonal CG.
Additional Letter Suffix
- 241A.png for Littorio (note that she is an oddity in that she doesn't have a intermediary kai form before undergoing a change in dex number or ship name)
- 031B.png for Mutsuki Kai.
- 234C.png for Mutsuki Kai Ni.
- 178D.png for Bismarck drei.
