Optional parameters[edit]
- title: If different from the article name.
- photo: The filename of the photo.
- photo 2: The file name for a second photo, which goes on the bottom of the infobox.
- caption: The caption of the first photo.
- caption 2: The caption of the second photo.
- age: The approximate age of the character.
- colony: The character's home colony.
- birthplace: If the character was not born on one of The Twelve Colonies, then use this parameter instead of "colony".
- birthname: The full birthname of the character.
- birthdate: The date of birth. Approximate. Link to a Timeline page if needed.
- callsign: The character's "callsign" if he or she is a pilot.
- nickname: The character's "nickname" if applicable.
- seen: The episode in which the character first appears. Do not wikify.
- pseen: If the episode name is different than the article name, this is what will displayed. Do not wikify.
- death: When, Where, and How they died. Please wikify the episode.
- parents: Who are their parents.
- siblings: Who is related to them.
- children: How many children does this character have.
- marital status: What's their current marital status.
- familytree: Set this to Y if they have a family tree. The section in the article should be
Family tree. - role: Current job or position.
- rank: Current rank if in the military.
- serial: Serial number, if in the military.
- actor: Actor/actress who plays this character. Please wikify.
- name: If the character is a Cylon, this is their human name. For example, "Sharon Valerii" for Number Eight.
- sortkey: This tells the category system where this entry should go. (For William Adama, the sortkey would be "Adama, William"—without quotes—thus telling the software to alphabetize by his last name.)
RDM[edit]
- cylon: Insert Y to indicate that this character is a Cylon.
- 5cylon: Insert Y to indicate that this character is a member of the Final Five.
- hcylon: Insert Y to indicate that this character is a Cylon Hybrid.
TOS[edit]
- mcylon: Insert Y to indicate that this character is a Cylon.
Separate Continuity[edit]
- sepcon: Insert Y to indicate that a separate continuity article is available on the subject.
- sepcon title: The name of the article on the subject in the separate continuity. Do not encase in any link syntax.
- series: Insert the series acronym that the separate continuity is a part of. Values are TOS, 1980, and RDM.
- Note: This is only for articles where the name crosses more than one continuity. For instance, "Boxey" is both a character in the Original Series as well as the Re-imagined Series. So an article on Boxey in the separate continuity material for the Original Series would use the "TOS" acronym, and thus would facilitate a link to Boxey (TOS alternate).
Primary Continuity[edit]
- This is meant for articles on separate continuity characters, i.e. Daniel Novacek.
- primecon: Insert Y to indicate that a primary continuity article is available on the subject.
- primecon title: The name of the article on the subject in the primary continuity. Do not encase in any link syntax.
- series: Insert the series acronym that the primary continuity is a part of. Values are TOS, 1980, and RDM.
- Note: This is only for articles where the name crosses more than one continuity. For instance, "Boxey" is both a character in the Original Series as well as the Re-imagined Series. So an article on Boxey in the primary continuity material for the Original Series would use the "TOS" acronym, and thus would facilitate a link to Boxey (TOS).
