The following is a sample character article for the wiki to try and standardize the layout of like articles without having to constantly reference other places during page creation.
Check the page's source to read helpful information about what to put in each section. Make sure you edit out this sentence for reasons alluded to in the text.
{{br|left}}
HTML comments (these ASCII arrow looking things: <code><nowiki><!-- example --></nowiki></code>) are used to allow contributors to see this sample as a blank and focus on the overall structure by hiding most of the text from view, to prevent being blindsided by details they don't need to read until they decide for themselves to use this sample as an outline. This also reduces the likelihood of visible placeholder text in articles by negligent or forgetful contributors.
{{br|left}}
If you're ready for more details, edit or otherwise view this page's source to read commented out information about what to put in each section. When copying this sample, edit out this uncommented sentence to make sure there is no (visible) placeholder in your articles that use this sample.

Some general guidelines (as I'm no one with higher authority to enforce a rule but I highly suggest you follow it anyway):
* You don't need to include every section that you see when you copy this article's layout, omit certain parts if unneeded (i.e. remove the gameplay section if the character is exclusive to non-game media) to prevent a generated TOC with many sections only being a couple sentences long. By the same token, add as many sections not specified here as needed, i.e. adding subsections inside of the Biography section to divide the character's life by game and/or major plot sections. Again, it doesn't have to be in that specific way, just as needed.


* DO NOT comment out incomplete sections, as that will make it harder for contributors to casually notice stubs and decide to expand them then and there. Just label them as stubs as usual. Better that they look unfinished so that others can notice and fix it than to look clean but incomplete in reality and no one notices it without tediously checking every article.
<!-- Eventually, there will be separate documentation for this infobox, but for now it will share room in between field-->
 
* If the description for a particular detail seems too long to be included in the same parapgraph but not long enough for its own section header, remember to break it up into paragraphs (i.e. if a character's clothing takes more than a paragraph to write down, put it in its own paragraph).
 
* If a section is getting too long and overall page navigation feels "clunky", "unwieldy" or tedious, make a new page and connect it to this one with the tabs syntax, so that readers can easily swap between one or the other.

===Physical Description===
<!-- Describe the character's appearance, including their build, physical features (like a mole or a scar), and general attire.  
<!-- Describe the character's build and physical features (i.e. a mole or a scar). -->
 
===Clothing===
if their attire changes then only add those variations if they're wholly unique to that character; if they're a generic alternate attire (as in a female character's design as a White Mage is no different than any other) then keep the description on that particular page (as in, leave that description to a female White Mage section of that particular game). the; an adequate exception is something like a character's job attire is of the opposite sex or gender. -->

===Personality===
===Personality===
<!-- Explain the character's personality and their behavior in their first canonical appearance BEFORE any major plot twists or developments, including any experiences before the events of the game that caused them to act very differently than they may have done in the past. If their standard personality is a facade or they undergo a major change in attitude or personality throughout their life after they're proper introduced, leave that in the Biography section where appropriate and do not mention it here. -->
<!-- Explain the character's personality and their behavior throughout the medium. If their standard personality is a facade or a front, leave that in the story section and do not mention it here. -->
 
===Powers and Abilities===
===Powers and Abilities===
<!-- Explain the character's abilities, and if these abilities exist in gameplay, do so here WITHOUT MENTIONING GAMEPLAY MECHANICS (i.e. don't talk about button inputs when bringing up Blitz). Include them in the relevant Gameplay section.
<!-- Explain the character's abilities, whether they're ingame or cutscene-only is irrelevant. Make sure to use the {{main}} template if their skill is a series staple (i.e. a character who knows Black Magic should have it mentioned, with {{main|Black Magic}} written near it. -->
 
If they're a gameplay element and the gameplay section has become its own page, use the {{main}} template to link to it in more detail, and give a brief overview here. Example:
 
{{main|[[Character (Gameplay)#Ability]]}}
This character knows Ability, which lets him/her/it do...
 
If an ability has its own article or has enough information about it to warrant being its own article, use the {{main}} template to link to it, for you or someone else to make it later if it doesn't exist yet. -->
 
==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
<!-- Explain how this character plays or fights, if applicable. Also bring up stats, usable equipment, and explain any character specific ones in detail, especially if they have unique abilities ,(i.e. an accessory can change their commands into a different one). Once it gets to a certain length, consider adding it to its own page and use Tabs to make it easily accessible from the main page. -->

==Biography==
<!-- Explain this character's life, add as many sections per media as you need, and add the <nowiki>{{spoiler}}</nowiki> template the beginning and the <nowiki>{{spoilerend}}</nowiki> template at the end of this section (but before the next section) to allow those who haven't gotten as far to remain unspoiled. -->

==Other Appearances==
<!-- Put any appearances in non-"mainlinehere (i.e. in ''Kingdom Hearts'').  -->


==Gallery==
==Gallery==
 
<!-- Post as much '''official''' content with this character in it as you can. Once it gets to a certain length, consider adding it to its own gallery page and use Tabs to make it easily accessible from the main page. Check [[Help:Images]] for more image information. Also, the advice from the clothing section is inapplicable here, add any generic job attire change of the character the article is about to the gallery. -->
<!-- Create a gallery in HTML:
<gallery>
filename for desired image
</gallery>
 
(go on Wikipedia's gallery page for more syntax)
 
Post as much '''official''' content inside of it with this character in it as you can, but also try to limit the amount that you post per unique image. Some examples:
 
* Don't take several screenshots to illustrate an animation; record a video of it and if the audio is unnecessary, convert it into a GIF or soundless webm (will possibly attempt a tutorial in the future to make it) to save overall bandwidth and effort into categorizing multiple images when just one would work. Plus it makes the wiki's indexing ever so sightly faster as it only indexes one instead of at least two.
 
An extra reminder to make this section into its own page and connect to the main article with the tabs syntax if it's getting too large, as this section will probably need this the most due to likely being the most media heavy part of the article. Check this wiki's Help:Images for more image information and Wikipedia/Mediawiki's for more general info.
 
And for clarification, the advice about generic attire from the clothing section is inapplicable here, add any generic job attire outfits of the specified character to the gallery. -->
