Usage instructions

This sidebar template is used with the Template:StarterBio, but this can also be used by itself.

Paste the following code into the top of an article and then take out Bakari's info and put in your own character's information. Valid colors are Red, Gold, Blue, Teal, Violet, Black, Silver, Green.

Not all ranks are available in all colors. Use full rank names (except for Lieutenant JG and Lt. Commander, and Lt. Colonel).

• Pipstyle can be changed from Default to DS9 or Slanted. See Template:Pips for list of all styles.
• If your character is a civilian or has a rank/title that isn't available as a pip graphic, you can specify pipstyle to None, and the pip graphic will not be displayed.

For date of birth, add a leading zero for single digit months and dates. The sidebar will automatically calculate your character's age as well.

• If your character is KIA or otherwise deceased, use Template:Sidebar KIA.
• If your character is MIA, use Template:Sidebar MIA.

Image

If you have an image for your character, add the file name for it such as EnsignSmith.jpg in the last field.

Do NOT put [[ or ]] or File: in the name. The template will automatically resize your image to fit the sidebar.

If you don't have an image for your character, just leave that field blank and a placeholder will show up instead. You can use the "EXTRA" field if you want to add something else to the bottom of your sidebar such as another image, a badge such as the Featured Bio Contest winner badge or links to subpages such as an academy transcript or a medical record. If you don't want to add anything, just leave it blank as well.
