Template:WoD Character/doc

Instructions

To create a standard World of Darkness character, copy the following text block into the new article where you wish to create the character. For each entry, enter the pertinent information after the = sign. Example:

|player        =  [[User:Ryecatcher15]] <!-- Omit for NPCs. Player characters should indicate who the player is -->

OR

|player        =  [[User:Ryecatcher15]] 

Both work.

Note that the

<!-- -->

is a comment with no effect that explains the purpose of each field - it may be safely removed or ignored, provided that the entire tag remains intact. Every entry is optional - technically, you could produce a character without using any of them, but it would be incredibly stark.

The last section, with standard headers, is optional. You can use a unique layout for character profiles if you like, but it's not recommended, and you should expect them to be more-or-less standardized.
