Character Template
Basic Information
Real Name
The RealName field refers to the Character's current legal name. Do not put any aliases here. Leave this field empty if it is unknown. Use the 'RealName2' or 'RealNameRef' field for the reference where the character's real name was first revealed. (It may be the same issue they first appeared).
Main Alias
The MainAlias field refers to the Character's most recently used alias. Leave the field empty if it is the same as RealName. Only one Alias can occupy this field at a time. Leave this field empty if no name other than the character's real name is known. Use the 'CurrentAliasRef' field for the reference where the character's CurrentAlias was first revealed. (It may be the same issue they first appeared).
Aliases
The Aliases field refers to any other names or codenames used by the character. Try to put a Reference Tag next to each alias that points to the comic where the character was called that name. If no other names are used by the character, leave the field empty.
Identity
The Identity field has two options: Public or Secret. Public Identity means the general populace knows the subject by both their Real/OfficialName and their Main Alias. Secret Identity means a few people may know the subject's true identity, but the vast majority of the population only knows one or the other. Leave this field blank if you are unsure which the subject falls under.
Race
The AlienRace field refers to the race of extraterrestrial beings this character belongs to. Do not use this field for terrestrial races such as Asian or Latino. Examples that would work in this field include Kryptonian, Tamaranian and Thanagarian. See Category:Races for all known races on the Database.
Alignment
The Alignment field has three options: Good, Bad, or Neutral. Putting 'Evil' in this field will convert it to Bad. Use 'Neutral' if you are unsure which the article falls under.
Affiliation
The Affiliation field refers to any team, group, or organization this character is or has been affiliated with. Try to use references for when the character was first affiliated with this team, group, or organization if possible, and try to link to the affiliation's page in each instance.
Universe
The Universe field refers to the numerical DC reality the subject originally came from. Use the 'Universe2' or 'UniverseRef' fields for references and explanations, or if the subject somehow came from multiple universes.
Characteristics
Characteristics are often a point of contention among fans of any character. Some fans may feel that Doomsday is over 10 feet tall, while others may feel that he's barely over 7. In order to ensure these statistics remain correct, we ask that when you are entering them, please fill out the 'CharRef' field as well. The CharRef field is used to link the comic these numbers were taken from to the character's page.
Gender
The Gender field refers to the gender of the character. Options are: Male, Female, Genderless, Non-binary and Other. Leave the field empty if their gender is unknown.
Height
The Height field refers to how tall the character is. Enter the height in feet and inches, such as 5'11". Use the 'Height2' field for further explanations and heights the character may have.
Weight
The Weight field refers to how much the character weighs on Earth. Enter the weight in either lbs or kgs, as in 220 lbs or 100 kg. Use the 'Weight2' field for further explanations and weights the character may have.
Eyes
The Eyes field refers to the character's primary eye color, typically color of the irises in the character's eyes. Options include: Blue, Green, and Brown. See Category:Eye Color for more. Use 'Eyes2' for multiple colors of eyes or if explanation is needed.
Hair
The Hair field refers to the primary color of the character's hair. Examples include: Brown, Blond, Bald, None. Note that 'Bald' and 'None' do not mean the same thing. Bald means the character once had hair, but does not now, and None means they never had any hair. See Category:Hair Color for more. Use 'Hair2' for multiple hair colors or if further explanation is needed.
Skin
The UnusualSkinColour field refers to the color of the character's skin. This field is only used for odd colorings, and not those typically found on humans on Earth. Examples include: Blue, Red, Green, and None. 'None' refers to characters who have no skin. See Category:Skin Color for more. Use 'Skin2' for multiple unusual skin colors or if further explanation is needed.
Status
Citizenship
The Citizenship field refers to the primary citizenship the character currently carries. Examples include: Canadian, American, Egyptian, etc. Use 'Citizenship2' for multiple current citizenships, or if further explanation is needed. If you are unsure how to citizenshipize the country in mind, just input the country and the template will convert it for you.
Marital Status
The MaritalStatus field refers to the current status of the character's marriage. Options include: Married, Single, Widowed, etc. Use 'MaritalStatus2' for further explanation or multiple statuses. "Dating" is not a marital status.
Place of Death
The PlaceOfDeath field refers to the location the character died. Note that use of this field automatically categorizes the character as deceased, so only use it if they are still currently dead. Try to use links to the actual locations where possible. Multiple deaths can be entered here as well.
Creators
The Creators field refers to the writer and artist who first created the character. This can usually be found on the comic page of the character's first appearance. Separate the creators by semicolons, for example: Stan Lee; Steve Ditko. To quickly fill this field in, enter: {{subst:gc|FIRST APPEARANCE}} where 'FIRST APPEARANCE' is what you would be putting in the 'First' field.
Comic Template
Basic Information
Executive Editor
The 'Executive Editor field refers to the person who was the Executive Editor at DC Comics when the comic was published.
Cover Artists
The CoverArtist1-10 fields refer to the artist or artists who were responsible for any or all of the covers displayed on the issue's page. Up to 10 separate Cover Artists can be listed, with each one listed separately in their own field.
Writers
The Writer#_# fields refer to the person or persons who were credited with writing the story. The initial # refers to the story being referenced (1 being the first story, 2 being the second, etc), while the second # refers to the number of writers listed. For example: if the first story in a comic had two writers, Brian Michael Bendis and Stan Lee, the Writer fields would look like this:
| Writer1_1 = Brian Michael Bendis | Writer1_2 = Stan Lee
If a different book had Brian Michael Bendis write the first story, and Stan Lee write the second, the fields would look like this:
| Writer1_1 = Brian Michael Bendis | Writer2_1 = Stan Lee
In this second case, you can tell that Stan Lee is the first writer ("_1") of the second story ("2_").
