Optional parameters

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.

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).
