Purpose[edit source]
Provides an information box alongside character pages.
Usage[edit source]
Values are as follows:
Parameter | Explanation |
color | The color of the infobox sections. The choices are case sensitive ("adult" is not the same as "Adult") and the selection is also used to add the page to the appropriate category. Kid: light orange The color also sets the category for the character. For example, color=Kid creates Category:Kids. |
name | Name to display at the top of the Infobox. {{PAGENAME}} should be used in most situations in case the page has to be moved to a new name. |
image | The name of the picture to be displayed, without the brackets or the "File:" prefix. Size is fixed at 200px, so images in a 4:3 aspect ratio are preferred over widescreen images. Example: Bea Goldfishberg.png User infobox: The full file command should be used (that is [[File:Bea Goldfishberg.png|200px]] instead of Bea Goldfishberg.png) and should be set to a maximum of 200px size. This will allow for "hotlinking" to external sites by specifying the full URL (http://www.site.com/picture.jpg). Keep in mind that hotlinked pictures will display at full size. If you need to display it at a smaller size, upload it to the wiki and include in the summary that it is going to be used on your User page. |
caption ♦ | Caption for the picture. |
animal ♦ | The type of animal a character is. |
gender ♦ | The gender of the character. |
age ♦ | The age of the character. For most characters, this should be left blank or listed as "Unknown" since the age of only a few characters have been seen in any of the episodes. |
height ♦ | The height of the character. |
nationality ♦ | The country the character was born in. |
hometown ♦ | The city or village the character was born in. |
born ♦ | The date the character was born on. Like the age parameter, this field should be left blank or listed as "Unknown" unless specifically stated in an episode. |
created ♦ | The date the robot was created on. |
nemesis ♦ | Any known nemeses of the characters. Typically, each character only has one nemesis. |
band | The name of the band the character belongs to. ("Position in (band)" will only be displayed if the pband parameter is used.) |
pband ♦ ♣ | The position in the band the character occupies (lead singer, drummer, etc.) |
profession ♦ ♣ | The profession or job the character has. |
major ♦ ♣ | The character's major field of study. |
affiliations ♦ ♣ | The group(s) the character belongs to. |
signature ♦ ♣ | If the character's signature has been shown in an episode, include a picture of it here. Do not include the brackets or the "File:" prefix. Size is fixed at 150px. Example: Milo's signature.png |
parents ♦ | One or both of the character's parents if known. |
creator ♦ | The character's creator, if the character is a robot or monster. |
stepparents ♦ | The adoptive parent(s) of the character. |
siblings ♦ | Any known brothers or sisters. |
stepsiblings ♦ | Stepbrothers or stepsisters. |
grandparents ♦ | The grandparent(s) of the character. |
spouses ♦ | Any known current or former spouses of the character. |
children ♦ | The children of the character. Can include stepchildren as long as that is noted. |
friends ♦ | Any known friend(s) of the character. |
loveinterests ♦ | People that the character is dating or romantically involved with. |
pets ♦ | Pets owned by the character. |
title1, title2, title3, title4 ♦ | Custom fields that can be used to make categories not included above, such as "nieces", "cousins" or "rivals". Use the "title" to define the name of that category, and the matching "other" for the information in that category. Example: title1 = Assistant other1 = [[Nurse Fishington]] |
other1, other2, other3, other4 ♦ | |
first | The first appearance of the character. In most cases this will be the first time they are seen on screen. If they are mentioned prior to their first on-screen appearance or have a speaking cameo where they are not seen, this should be noted in the "Appearances" section of the character's page. |
voice ♦ | The actor that provided the voice for the character. |
image2, image3 ♦ | Optional pictures and captions that may be included, such as a picture of the voice actor, or an addition picture of the character such as Pamela Hamster's star on the Hamsterwood Walk of Fame. Same format as the "image" parameter above. |
caption2, caption3 ♦ |
Values marked with ♦ will not be displayed in the Infobox if they are empty or if that line is missing.
Values marked with ♣ indicate that at least one must be used in order for the section divider that it is in to be displayed.
Whenever it is necessary to specify more than one item, use the line breaks as follows:
[[page 1]]<br> [[page 2]]
instead of:
[[page 1]]<br>
[[page 2]]
The vertical spacing between the items will be different if they are put on separate lines as shown above. By keeping them on the same line, the vertical spacing will look correct. The explanation for the "image" parameter in the table above shows both the extra spacing and the normal spacing.
(The code for some fields have been split onto separate lines in order to display correctly next to the example Infobox without sideways scrolling. When entering data into the parameters, do not break the code into separate lines.)
