General

Character Pages

If you're adding strategy information to a Character page, Crazy is a good point of reference. It has a table for synergies and makes liberal use of the MiniIconbox template. Another good character page to reference is Mage, who has a section for their starting items.

Mod Pages

If you want to show things like character and weapon stats, Mod:Extatonion and Mod:Isaac_Characters_Mod are excellent points of reference, as they make great use of the special templates available.
