An example is shown to the right.

image
Optional. Use a standard [[File: ]] tag with a width of no greater than 250px. No other options are necessary.
caption
Optional. A caption for the image, if specified.
name
Required. The name of the person. Should be the name by which they are most frequently known, or their full name if that would not be clear.
true name
Optional. If the character's true name is known, include it here.
alt_spelling
Optional. If the person's name has an alternate spelling, such as in another (in-universe) language, include it here.
titles
Optional. Any titles attributed to the person.
aliases
Optional. Any other names or secret identities this person goes by.
nicknames
Optional. Any nicknames used by the person or assigned to them by another.
home
Optional. Either their place of birth, most frequent location, or both.
formerhomes
Optional. Use to list the place or places that this person lived in the past.
gender
Optional. As you think best.
race
Optional. Human, elf, dwarf, orc, etc.
occupation
Optional. State what the character does for a living, not their class. If they're a slave or a beggar, you can include this here.
age
Optional. The person's approximate age, if it isn't specifically stated somewhere (in which case the dob parameter should be used). This can also be used to state a creature's age category, such as for dragon aging. When used, it should be qualified by giving the year they were that approximate age. For example, if Bob the monk were in his mid-twenties in 1374 DR, this parameter should read "age = Mid-twenties in 1374 DR". This can be approximate (use 'approx' if this is the case).
patron deity
Optional. The god(s) the person worships. If someone is faithless then 'None' is fine.
languages
Optional. The language(s) a person speaks or reads. Assume defaults for race and culture if no information is provided.
reckoning
Optional. The reckoning system that governs the dob, death, turned, and destroyed parameters. Defaults to DR, but change this if you are using a different system. All dates for a single person must use the same reckoning.
dob
Optional. Date of Birth. When the person was born. Input only a number with no punctuation, eg "1330", and not "1,330 DR". If you need to use a reckoning system other than DR, see the reckoning parameter.
dobnotes
Optional. The dob parameter only accepts numeric input, so if you need to write notes next to the date of birth, you can use this parameter.
turned
Optional. The year in which the person was turned undead. Input only a number—it will be appended by reckoning and made into a link.
turnednotes
Optional. the turned parameter should only be a number, so use this field to put notes next to the turned date.
death
Optional. When the person died. Input only a number with no punctuation, e.g. "1330", and not "1,330 DR". If you need to use a reckoning system other than DR, see the reckoning parameter.
deathnotes
Optional. The death parameter only accepts numeric input, so if you need to write notes next to the date of death, you can use this parameter.
destroyed
Optional. When an undead person faced final death. Input only a number with no punctuation, e.g. "1330", and not "1,330 DR". If you need to use a reckoning system other than DR, see the reckoning parameter.
destroyednotes
Optional. The destroyed parameter only accepts numeric input, so if you need to write notes next to the date of destruction, you can use this parameter.
alignment
Optional. The alignment of this person, if known. Note the edition-specific parameters below.
class
Optional.
rules
Optional. Describes the version of D&D rules that apply to the alignment and class(es) listed. Choose "1st", "2nd", "3rd", "3.5", "4th", etc. Note: only use this if not using the edition-specific sections described below.
class1e, class2e, class3e, class35, class4e, class5e
Optional. In lieu of the class parameter, editors may use these edition-specific parameters. These are only to be used if a character is given different statistics in different versions of the game. If different statistics are published within the same edition, the stats in the most recently-published source for that edition should be used. (Note that for 3.5 edition, a period can not be used between the 3 and 5.)
refs1e, refs2e, refs3e, refs35, refs4e, refs5e
Optional. These parameters are used to put <ref> tags in the subtitle rather than have them clutter up the class table or show up at odd places in the infobox. Usually all the class information comes from one source, but you can add more here or in the class table as needed.
Example: refs3e = ...
source
Deprecated Optional. Use the book citation templates to cite the book(s) the information in this template has come from.
page
Deprecated Optional. Only appears if source is specified. Put the page number(s) here.
