Character Entry Template
This is the template that should be used for creating Character Entries.
Every article should contain an infobox. Currently there are three different Character infoboxes, Terran, Kilrathi and Firekkan. To set the color of the infobox you need to change the text at the beginning of the infobox. By changing the first line of the infobox to "Terran Person," "Kilrathi Person," and "Firekkan Person" will change the color surrounding the infobox. Use the correct infobox when creating Character entries. Fill in all the lines that are relevant, those that are not filled in will not be displayed.
{{Infobox Terran Person
|name=
|lived=
|image= used for characters that have images. Use the [[Image:IMAGE NAME|200px]] format

}}
Following the infobox will go the article text concerning the character you are working on. You may wish to use section headings for characters with extensive histories. Headings are created using the following code.
==Heading 1==
If there are extra images that should be included in an article, they should be placed at the end of the article in a gallery. Galleries are created using the following code.
<gallery> Image:IMAGE NAME|IMAGE DESCRIPTION </gallery>
After text is inserted articles need to be categorized. Wikipedia uses the double brackets for creating links.
[[category:Characters]]
Multiple categories can be entered by creating multiple category tags.
The following is the raw code for Michael "Iceman" Casey's entry. It will be useful as an example for creating other entries. Internal links in Wikipedia are accomplished by using double brackets
[[Article Name Here]]
You may also wish to look at other article's code by utilizing the edit tab located at the top of every page.

Michael Casey, aka "Iceman", was a Terran Confederation fighter pilot assigned to the TCS Tiger's Claw during the Terran-Kilrathi War. Due to his ruthless and deadly flying style, the other pilots said Casey had freon for blood, which is how he earned the callsign Iceman. He was born in Vancouver, British Columbia in 2623. He held the record for most kills in the Tiger's Claws' history as of April 2654. He was known for a calm, perfect flying style and excellent aim. He was also very taciturn, communicating only necessary information to his wingmen and speaking even less when not in the cockpit. He frequently flew as wingleader for Jeannette Devereaux. He was featured in Pilot Profiles in 2654, at which time he held the rank of major.
On 2655.293 he received word that the TCS Jerusalem had intercepted a Kilrathi slave ship, and that his daughter Julia was among the freed. Shortly after Firekka, he took a shore leave and met Kylie Sarah Richards, a waitress. A few months later they married. He recorded holo-videos for her and their unborn son, Lance.
Six weeks after his second marriage Casey was killed in action "on a deep space patrol in the B'shriss System." Christopher Blair brought back his life-pod, but the official report of his death omitted the fact that he was found in pieces, to spare his family the additional trauma.
