<p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[Category:Can be featured]][[Category:Contributors Handbook]]<br />
<section begin=feature />So you want to create a character page (or update an old one)? This page is designed to serve as a template for creation of character pages.<section end=feature /> If you copy and paste everything in a code box (except for the optional infobox sections) and fill in the needed information, your page will come out looking just like all the others. <br />
<br />
: To see an example of a correctly-formatted character page, look [[Sar'nel Tions Sarghress|here]].<br />
<br />
: For more help with editing the wiki, please see [[Help:Contributors Handbook]].<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
A character page consists of the following parts (in this order):<br />
<br />
'''1. The "Appears In" bar.''' This is made with the <nowiki>{{appears in}}</nowiki> template. Fill in the number of each chapter the character has appeared in separated by spaces.<br />
<br />
<nowiki>{{appears in| ## ## ## }}</nowiki><br />
<br />
'''2. The character infobox.''' This is the box on the right side. It's made with the <nowiki>{{character}}</nowiki> template.<br />
<br />
: Information is required for the following:<br />
<br />
<nowiki>{{Character <br />
| faction = Name of the character's clan. Be sure to include Val or Vel status (Val'Sarghress, not Sarghress)<br />
| status = Current status of the character. Should either be "deceased" or their current title.<br />
}}</nowiki><br />
<br />
: If the following information is known in the comic, add any of the following lines before the end brackets:<br />
<br />
<nowiki> | born = Date of birth</nowiki><br />
<br />
<nowiki> | died = Date of death</nowiki><br />
<br />
<nowiki> | sponsor = If this is a cameo, enter the name of their owner</nowiki><br />
<br />
<nowiki> | talents = <br />
* Known mana affinities or other important skills<br />
* Use asteriks as bullet points to list them.</nowiki><br />
<br />
<nowiki> | family = <br />
* Known family. List in bullets like the talents. <br />
* Use the following format:<br />
* [[Person]] - relation to character</nowiki><br />
<br />
<nowiki> | trivia = <br />
* Short facts that might be of interest :)<br />
* Again, use bullets, please.</nowiki><br />
<br />
: If (and only if!) the character is not from Moonless Age, add this line and enter the correct source (Daydream, Relic Hunters, Path to Power, etc.). ''Exception: All cameo characters should have this line filled in with "Moonless Age Cameo".''<br />
<br />
<nowiki>| section = </nowiki><br />
<br />
'''3. Introduction and featured section.''' A blurb about the character and who they are. This should be no more than a few paragraphs that quickly details the important stuff about this character new readers might need. It's kind of like an encyclopedia entry.<br />
<br />
Pick one or two sentances to "Feature" whenever this page is listed with its portrait:<br />
<br />
<nowiki>[[Category:Can be featured]]<section begin=feature /></nowiki>These will be the featured sentences.<nowiki><section end=feature /></nowiki><br />
