Usage

This is the standard skeleton for a character page on the Save the Date wiki.

To start a new character page:

  1. Create the page at the character's name (e.g. Li Wei, Klè Tomohiro).
  2. Type {{subst:CharacterSkeleton}} and save — this copies the skeleton in as plain wikitext you can edit freely (recommended, since each character page diverges quickly).
  3. Alternatively, use {{CharacterSkeleton}} without subst: to transclude it live — only if you want the page locked to this template's structure. Not recommended once a page has real content.
  4. Fill in every field. Leave a field blank rather than guessing.
  5. Wrap any unconfirmed detail in {{Proposal|reason=...}}.

This template depends on Template:Proposal. Create that template first if it doesn't already exist.
