Optional parameters

  • 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

  • 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.
  • sepcon title: The name of the article on the subject in the separate continuity. Do not encase in any link syntax.
    • 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: Vella (TOS alternate reality) will only print Vella. It will not affect the actual link itself, only the printed output in the template.
  • 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

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.
    • 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: Adama (TOS) will only print Adama. It will not affect the actual link itself, only the printed output in the template.
  • 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).
