Template:Biography

Template used to display biographies. Only the image is required. The title defaults to the pagename. For backwards-compatibility, ‘title1’ and ‘image1’ are also accepted instead of ‘title’ and ‘image’, respectively; ‘caption1’ is also accepted, but ignored (it may be used for hover text on the image in the future). Newer pages should always use the latter, and existing pages should be migrated to use the latter whenever they’re edited. To include additional character information in a page, use the ‘Character Sheet’ template (capitalisation matters!).
