"Interesting quote." ― Indented, italicised, sourced


Lead paragraph, featuring the Individual's Name in bold, encapsulating the most important information for readers who just want to get in, find what they're looking for, and get out again. For most individuals, one or two sentences should be fine.

Replace "This is the infobox template" with the individual's name and fill out the rest of the fields as appropriate. Then delete this paragraph.


Profile[[edit] | [edit source]]

Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]

Long biographies should have a short intro paragraph followed by subsections relevant to the individual.

Subhead 1[[edit] | [edit source]]

Subhead 2[[edit] | [edit source]]

Subhead 3[[edit] | [edit source]]

Undated events[[edit] | [edit source]]

If included, this section should be second from the end.

Key life events[[edit] | [edit source]]

This should be the last section of the biography and include only major timeline events, briefly summarized and bulleted. It can be omitted if the biography is already short and easily skimmed.

Most of the other articles I've seen include this as a separate section apart from the biography; why?
  • Major event 1
  • Major event 2
  • Major event 3

Relationships[[edit] | [edit source]]

Family[[edit] | [edit source]]

Lovers[[edit] | [edit source]]

Enemies[[edit] | [edit source]]

Other[[edit] | [edit source]]

Characteristics[[edit] | [edit source]]

Appearance[[edit] | [edit source]]

Personality[[edit] | [edit source]]

Subhead 3[[edit] | [edit source]]

Other subheads can be included as relevant: Habits and quirks, Cultural background, Skills and abilities, etc.

Mysteries and discrepancies[[edit] | [edit source]]

As much of this material as possible should be incorporated in the OOU section.

I'd also prefer a better (one-word) title, to match the other one-word titles. Maybe "Questions"?

Alternate realities[[edit] | [edit source]]

Can be omitted when not relevant

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

Image gallery[[edit] | [edit source]]

Can be omitted, but should it ever be included or does it just increase load time? Is there a better way to link to character galleries?
