Template:Infobox Species

Template page
Revision as of 04:33, 9 March 2012 by CzechBot (talk | contribs) (Changed protection level for "Template:Infobox Species": infoboxes routinely locked on other wikis to prevent the kind of minor, but ultimately chaotic, variable tampering that we've been experiencing. Propose changes at forum:panopticon. ([edit=)
Instructions for {{Infobox Species}}
{{Infobox Species}} is the main infobox for the delivery of information about all species, sentient and non-sapient alike.
Name of species (You don't actually need to use this variable in most cases. It defaults to the name of the page.)
Major alternate names: Notable alternate names
Biological type: Biological type of species
Affiliated with: Any affiliation(s)
Place of origin: Location of species' home planet/star system/galaxy etc
Notable individuals: Notable individuals (not every individual in the book; do NOT link to categories. Just the biggies here.
First seen in: ##|story of first appearance; only use when there's more than one appearance
Appearances: other stories the species has appeared in (don't include the first appearance again)

Note that for non-sentient life, you made need to also use {{looks like}} in order to give prominent links to other species that look like the ones under discussion. See, for instance, dog, cat, dolphin, and rhinoceros.
