• 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.

RDM

• 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

• mcylon: Insert Y to indicate that this character is a Cylon.

Separate Continuity

• sepcon: Insert Y to indicate that a separate continuity article is available on the subject.
• 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).

Re-imagined Series definition: a nickname used as a substitute for an aviator's given name in wireless communications and in conversation
