This is the overview. Basically, a ''summary'' of what the idea is about. You can get into the details later on.


=== Biography Standardization ===
=== {{{1|Insert Title Here}}} ===


After reviewing many of the cast and crew biographies here, I believe that some form of standardization is in order. The present templates {{tl|Crew Skeleton}} and {{tl|Star Skeleton}} help, but are not detailed as to how a biography should be properly formatted. Therefore, I propose that we set up a standard guideline on how a proper biography should be written. Mainly, we should mirror or modify [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies)|Wikipedia's Manual of Style on biographies]] for our own use.
The details of your proposal will go here. Be as detailed as you'd like or believe necessary. It is recommended that you find that balance between ''downloading'' information and merely ''telling'' what your idea is.


Obviously, should this proposal pass, we should set up a discussion page so that we can define our Standards and Conventions for cast and crew biographies. The results should either be incorporated into the [[BW:SC|Standards and Conventions]] or in a separate page, such as [[Battlestar Wiki:Standards and Conventions (biographies)]].
The proposal should strive to answer some of the common questions, such as:


==== See Also ====
# What is the benefit of this proposal to the wiki?
# What is involved in implementing this idea?
# Who is going to do it?
# Why should we do it at all?
# How will we use the idea?
# Should the proposal pass, when will work start on this idea?
# Where will this idea be implemented? (e.g. Will it be on certain types of pages or the entire Wiki in general?)


* [[Battlestar Wiki:Cast and Crew]]
Do note that the answers to the above questions should be in paragraph form, particularly for proposals of a larger scale.
