Template:Person/doc

Explanation

 * image      : Optional. Use a standard image tag]].
 * caption    : Optional. Use this to create an image caption.
 * 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 (non-real-world) language, include it here.
 * titles     : Optional. Any titles attributed to the person.
 * aliases    : Optional. Any other names, nicknames or titles 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. Will not show up unless home is also specified.
 * 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.
 * class      : Optional. If possible, use the  template.
 * gender     : Optional. As you think best.
 * age : Optional. The person's approximate age, if it isn't specifically stated somewhere (in which case the born 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 given 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).
 * alignment  : Optional. Do not use the  template. That template is only for, , and . Individuals will invariably have just one alignment, so provide it here.
 * patron deity: The god(s) the person worships. If someone is faithless then 'None' is fine.
 * languages: 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 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, eg "1330", and not "1330 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. Input only a number.
 * death      : Optional. When the person died. Input only a number, eg "1330", and not "1330 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, eg "1330", and not "1330 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.
 * rules      : Optional. Only works in conjunction with the class option. Describes the version of D&D rules that apply to the class level(s) listed. Choose "1st", "2nd", "3rd", or "3.5".
 * source     : Optional. Use the book citation templates to cite the book(s) and page number(s) the information in this template has come from.

Optional Parameters
In lieu of the class parameter, editors may use the following 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. The parameters are: class1e, class2e, class3e, class35 (note that this is for 3.5 edition; a period can not be used between the 3 and 5), class4e, class5e'''. Use the Class table} template as the input for these parameters.
