Template:Charcat/doc

Template:Charcat was created to provide an organized and attractive way to present character information.

Why

 * Standardized information will be available for EACH character.
 * Looks better than hand formatted lists of data.
 * Easier than individually formatting each character's page.

How
image: should be filled in with an approved image for the character (without the File: part). If you do not know the image, then leave the field as is.

image2: Should be filled in with an approved Charart image for the character in the cases where it is desired that the "Toggle" option be employed to use a second image. If you use two images, ensure that you feel in the options appropriately.

option1: For use when image2 is being used. Controls the text that lets you toggle between the two images. This labels the image entered into "image".

option2: For use when image2 is being used. Controls the text that lets you toggle between the two images. This labels the image entered into "image2".

image size: size of the image in pixels if it needs to be resized (omit if not)

affie: current (or last known) affiliation (Clan, Tribe, loner / rogue etc)

pastaffie: past affiliations; if there are none, simply enter None or nothing.

age: character age; if age is unknown, leave blank.

death: character was killed by (event, disease, etc.); if unknown, leave blank.

namest: This should be a list of the titles for the names you have for the character. Separate each title with a tag. (IE: if you would like a standard list of titles, enter " Kit: Apprentice: Warrior: ). Don't forget to follow each title with a colon, keeping it prior to the break tag.

namesl: This will be a list of the names that the character has had. Make 100% sure that you're listing them in the correct order to match your list of titles, and separate each name with a tag. (IE: for the standard name list, enter " Namekit Namepaw Nametail ")

familyt: This is the list of family titles for the family of the character. List the titles, putting tags between each title. You'll need to include a spare following titles that have multiple characters listed, one for each additional name that will be listed. Don't forget to follow each title with a colon, keeping it prior to the break tag.
