Template:Character: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 03:22, 8 June 2026

This template defines the table "Characters". View table.

About

This template creates a character infobox that floats on the right side of the page. All fields are optional — empty fields are automatically hidden.

It also supports automatic categorization and linking for certain fields.

Field Reference

Field	Auto-Links?	Auto-Categorizes?
Name	No	No
Campaign	Yes	Yes
Species	Yes	Yes
Class	Yes	Yes
Subclass	Yes	Yes
Gender	Yes	Yes
Titles	No	No
Aliases	No	No

Additionally, the character template adds the Character category and a dynamic campaign dependent character category. IE Allesian Archives Character if that is filled in for campaign. I may also add an important connections tag, unless I can find a better way to fast track important links. Same with Age but like better.

Usage
