Which is why we have that weird gap underneath.

Solution 1

The syntax for this template would thus be a lot simpler:


 * Image = Filename.ext

The downside is that all the character pages not using switchers will be wrecked, BUT we can quickly go fix those and nobody will notice. (those users with character boxes on their page will need to update theirs, too, if they use the characterbox template)

to


 * Image2 =
