This template is used to place character info on a Battlestar Wiki article. It provides lower case parameters only.
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.

=== Optional parameters ===
=== Header & Display ===
* '''title''': If different from the article name.
* '''title''': The name displayed at the top. Defaults to the page name.
* '''photo''': The filename of the photo.
* '''series / series 2 / series 3''': Determines which series icons (e.g., RDM, TOS, CAP) appear in the header.
* '''photo 2''': The file name for a second photo, which goes on the bottom of the infobox.
* '''photo / photo 2''': The filename of the character image(s).
* '''caption''': The caption of the first photo.
* '''caption / caption 2''': The text displayed directly beneath the photo(s).
* '''caption 2''': The caption of the second photo.
* '''sortkey''': Used for category alphabetization (e.g., <code>Adama, William</code>).
* '''age''': The approximate age of the character.
* '''[[Colonies|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 <code>Family tree</code>.
* '''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 ====
=== Biography ===
* '''cylon''': Insert '''Y''' to indicate that this character is a Cylon.
* '''name''': For Cylons, this is their human alias (e.g., <code>Sharon Valerii</code>).
* '''5cylon''': Insert '''Y''' to indicate that this character is a member of the [[Final Five]].
* '''age''': Approximate age of the character.
* '''hcylon''': Insert '''Y''' to indicate that this character is a Cylon Hybrid.
* '''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.


==== TOS ====
=== Relationships ===
* '''mcylon''': Insert '''Y''' to indicate that this character is a Cylon.
* '''parents / siblings / children''': General lists for the infobox. These allow wikilinks, line breaks, and notes (e.g., <code>†</code>).
* '''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.


==== Separate Continuity ====
=== 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.


* '''sepcon''': Insert '''Y''' to indicate that a [[Battlestar Wiki:Separate continuity|separate continuity]] article is available on the subject.
=== Cylon Toggles (Set to Y) ===
* '''sepcon title''': The name of the article on the subject in the separate continuity. Do not encase in any link syntax.
* '''cylon''': Character is a Re-imagined Series Cylon.
** ''Note:'' Anything encased in parentheses will be "piped," thus anything including or after the "(" will be ignored when outputting a name, just like an automatically piped link. Example: <code>Vella (TOS alternate reality)</code> will only print <code>Vella</code>. It will '''not affect''' the actual link itself, only the '''printed output''' in the template.
* '''5cylon''': Character is a member of the Final Five.
* '''series''': Insert the series acronym that the separate continuity is a part of. Values are '''TOS''', '''1980''', and '''RDM'''.
* '''hcylon''': Character is a Human/Cylon Hybrid (e.g., Hera Agathon).
: '''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)]].
* '''mcylon''': Character is an Original Series Cylon.


==== Primary Continuity ====
=== 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>).


: ''This is meant for articles on ''separate continuity'' characters, i.e. {{alt|Daniel Novacek}}.''
=== 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.


* '''primecon''': Insert '''Y''' to indicate that a [[Battlestar Wiki:Canon|primary continuity]] article is available on the subject.
=== Genealogy Extension (Automated Trees) ===
* '''primecon title''': The name of the article on the subject in the primary continuity. Do not encase in any link syntax.
These fields are invisible in the infobox but populate the database for <code>{{#genealogy:tree ...}}</code>.
** ''Note:'' Anything encased in parentheses will be "piped," thus anything including or after the "(" will be ignored when outputting a name, just like an automatically piped link. Example: <code>Adama (TOS)</code> will only print <code>Adama</code>. It will '''not affect''' the actual link itself, only the '''printed output''' in the template.
* '''gender''': '''M''' or '''F'''. Critical for tree logic and icons.
* '''series''': Insert the series acronym that the primary continuity is a part of. Values are '''TOS''', '''1980''', and '''RDM'''.
* '''parent 1 / parent 2''': Exact page name of biological parents.
: '''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)]].  
* '''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.
