Races and Template:Character: Difference between pages

Revision as of 21:20, 27 May 2023

Usage example:

{{Character
 | name = 
 | section =
 | image =
 | faction =
 | status =
 | race =
 | gender =
 | sponsor =
 | talents =
 | trivia =
 | family =
}}

A template for use on Character Pages. It creates the infobox seen on the right of each page.

Essential arguments:

name - This should generally be left blank to default to the page name.
section - The section of the comic to which the character belongs, such as Moonless Age or Moonless Age Cameo.
image - An image portrait for the character. Should be 89x111 pixels. <gallery></gallery> around multiple images will allow a gallery mode.

Please use the format of Portrait_CharacterName.png for the primary portrait. In addition to standardizing with the legacy portraits from the old wiki, it is needed for the Template:CharacterCard to work properly creating character thumbnails on clan/chapter pages.

Optional arguments:

sponsor - If a cameo, the name of the sponsor.
race - Race (Drowolath, Drowussu, Emberi, Halme ...)
faction - Major clan or faction, important for generating the first faction Navbox.
status - The current status of the character, such as "Merchant", "Sarghress Scout", or "Deceased".
talents - Notable talents.
family - Related characters.
trivia - Minor bits of trivia.
