Template:Infobox Character/doc

From Len'en Wiki

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Infobox Character.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

The {{Infobox Character}} is used for character pages, to provide quick references to common information about the character. See Yabusame Houlen as an example on how it's laid out. If you want to have a "character" infobox in your user page, it is suggested to use {{Infobox Person}} instead.

Parameters[edit source]

Use the following parameters to provide information for a character:

  • |nameJp=: The character's name in Japanese.
  • |nameEn=: The name in English or the translation of it from Japanese.
  • |nameIPA=: Name pronunciation in Japanese IPA. Any soundfiles that demonstrate the pronunciation should be linked here as well
  • |image=: Image of the latest appearance of the character. Alternatively...
  • |image1=, |image2=...: For multiple images listed in a tab, instead. These are accompanied with:
    • |default=: To set which image tab should be initially viewed upon loading the page.
    • |tab1=, |tab2= ...: The name of the tab.
    • |caption1=, |caption2= ...: Caption that goes under the specific image. (Not needed if the following parameter can describe all images)
  • |caption=: Caption that goes under the image.
  • |chartitle=: The official title for a character. When it is in Japanese, use {{H:title}}. Use the most common one for a character.
  • |nameFull=: The character's full, official name.
  • |nameAlt=: Any other names for the character, or alternative/incorrect romanisation possibly in use.
  • |species=: What species is the character (see their official profile).
  • |abilities=: Abilities of the character (see their official profile).
  • |age=: The age of the character. Note that for most characters an age has never been specified. In those cases, leave this out unless there is a good chance that a character is approximately, for example, at least 1000 years old. You may add "immortal" (applies for few characters) or "deceased" if applicable.
  • |birthday=: The date of birth of the character.
  • |occupation=: The occupation of the character.
  • |location=: Where does the character live, or is usually seen.
  • |gender=: The character's gender. Only stated if officially confirmed.
  • |musicThemes=: Official music themes of a character for those that have them. Again, also use {{H:title}} here.
  • |appearance=: Official media that this character has appeared in. Dialogue doesn't count, so being "mentioned" doesn't apply here (but may be added in "Official Sources").

Appearances

Code below, with result to the right.

{{Infobox Character
| nameJp = {{ruby-ja|常人|じょうじん}}
| nameEn = John Doe
| nameIPA = d͡ʑo̞ːʑĩɴ
| image = [[File:Le045FairyEnemy.png|A Fairy-like Enemy from Book of the Cafe]]
| caption = John in [[Book of the Cafe]]
| chartitle = {{H:title|Mah boi|マー・ボイ}}
| nameFull= Jonathan Doe
| nameAlt = {{nihongo|Jon|ジョン}}
| species = [[Fairy-like Enemies|Fairy]]
| abilities = Shooting bullets
| age = 1234ish
| birthday = 9 March 2018
| occupation = [[Artisan]]
| location = [[Devanagara]]
| gender = Male
| musicThemes = *{{H:title|時空を越える翼 〜 M_theory|Wings that Transcend Spacetime ~ M-Theory}} (''[[Evanescent Existence|EE]]'')
| appearances = {{list|''[[Book of the Cafe]]''{{list
|An enemy}}}}
}}

Note that this uses the {{list}} template to list appearances. Without it, for some reason, the bulleting list will break and not display the list properly.

This template will also automatically add a page to Category:Characters when implemented, as well as Category:Characters with a known gender if the |gender= parameter is called. If, for whatever reason, this is not desired, call |nocat=yes.
