= Documentation =
This template is the primary infobox for character articles. It provides a standard layout for character stats, media links, and continuity data, with integrated support for automated genealogy trees.

== Parameter Descriptions ==

=== Header & Display ===
* '''title''': The name displayed at the top. Defaults to the page name.
* '''series / series 2 / series 3''': Determines which series icons (e.g., RDM, TOS, CAP) appear in the header.
* '''photo / photo 2''': The filename of the character image(s).
* '''caption / caption 2''': The text displayed directly beneath the photo(s).
* '''sortkey''': Used for category alphabetization (e.g., <code>Adama, William</code>).

=== Biography ===
* '''name''': For Cylons, this is their human alias (e.g., <code>Sharon Valerii</code>).
* '''age''': Approximate age of the character.
* '''colony''': The character's home colony (e.g., <code>Caprica</code>).
* '''birthplace''': Used if the character was born outside of the Twelve Colonies.
* '''birthname''': The full name given at birth.
* '''birthdate''': The visual display of their birth date.
* '''death''': Circumstances of death. Wikify the episode title if applicable.
* '''callsign''': The pilot's tactical name (e.g., <code>Starbuck</code>).
* '''nickname''': Other casual names.

=== Relationships ===
* '''parents / siblings / children''': General lists for the infobox. These allow wikilinks, line breaks, and notes (e.g., <code>†</code>).
* '''step_parents''': Visual display of step-parents in the infobox (supports wikilinks and line breaks).
* '''marital status''': Marital condition (Single, Married, Widowed).
* '''familytree''': Set to '''Y''' to add a "View" link that jumps to the article's <code>#Family tree</code> section.

=== Military & Professional ===
* '''role''': The character's primary job or function in the story.
* '''rank''': Military rank (e.g., <code>Commander</code>).
* '''serial''': Colonial military serial number.
* '''actor''': The actor or actress who portrayed the character.

=== Cylon Toggles (Set to Y) ===
* '''cylon''': Character is a Re-imagined Series Cylon.
* '''5cylon''': Character is a member of the Final Five.
* '''hcylon''': Character is a Human/Cylon Hybrid (e.g., Hera Agathon).
* '''mcylon''': Character is an Original Series Cylon.

=== Related Media ===
* '''archives''': Set to '''Y''' to link to a <code>Gallery:{{PAGENAME}}</code> photo gallery.
* '''media''': The key for linking to external media collections (e.g., <code>willie-adama</code>).

=== Continuity Support ===
* '''sepcon / primecon''': Set to '''Y''' to enable cross-continuity links.
* '''sepcon title / primecon title''': The exact page title for the character in the other continuity.

=== Genealogy Extension (Automated Trees) ===
These fields are invisible in the infobox but populate the database for <code><nowiki>{{#genealogy:tree ...}}</nowiki></code>.
* '''gender''': '''M''' or '''F'''. Critical for tree logic and icons.
* '''parent 1 / parent 2''': Exact page name of biological parents.
* '''step_parent 1 / step_parent 2''': Exact page name of step-parents. These will be shown with dotted lines in genealogy trees.
* '''spouse''': Exact page name of a partner for marriage lines.
* '''gen_birthdate''': A clean year/date (e.g., <code>31 BCH</code>) to appear inside tree nodes.
