General
Character Pages
If you're adding strategy information to a Character page, 
One Armed 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, and 
Ranger, who has a Notes section for their starting weapons.
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.
