Character ID subpages can now be used by Template:Roster, Template:Crew, and Template:CrewHistory. Instead of having to specify the image information and extra options such as AVATAR, SPECIES, SEX, etc. each time on a ship's roster, you can place all this information on an ID subpage of that character.

Template:Roster will then take the information from that subpage to display the character on the ship's roster.

This allows the ship roster page code to be relatively clean and makes it easy when transferring characters between ships.

Likewise, Template:Crew and Template:CrewHistory will use the image information from the subpage.

Examples:

• Invicta Master Crew List
• Template:InvictaCrew
• Invicta Crew History

How to Use

Initial Setup

1. Create a subpage to your character's page called ID.

Example:

• Msafiri Bakari/ID
• Saveron/ID

2. Then put the following code in the subpage, replacing Bakari's information with your character's information:

<noinclude>{{ID|{{Member</noinclude>
<includeonly>{{{{{TEMPLATE|}}}</includeonly>
|NAME=Msafiri Bakari
|IMAGE=Bakari.jpg
|MOVE UP=15
|MOVE LEFT=
|ZOOM=
|USER=Rich
|AVATAR=Boris Kodjoe
|SPECIES=Human
|SEX=Male
|AUTHOR=I238705TZ0
|COLOR={{{1|}}}
|POST={{{2|}}}
|LOA={{{3|}}}}}
<noinclude>}}</noinclude>

You must leave the numbers 1, 2, and 3 in the last three variables COLOR, POST, and LOA for Template:Roster to be able to use your subpage properly.

Using ID subpages on Template:Roster

On your ship's roster page itself, use the following code to display your character:

{{Officer|Rank|Character Name|Color|Duty Post}}

Example

{{Officer|Lt. Commander|Msafiri Bakari|Red|Adjunct}}

Insignia	Rank/Title	Portrait	Character Name	Duty Post
	Lt. Commander		I238705TZ0 Msafiri Bakari Rich Avatar: Boris Kodjoe Writer ID: I238705TZ0 Human male (he/him) Edit this info	Adjunct

Change pip style

You can change the pip style by adding STYLE= and specifying the alternative pipstyle you want.

{{Officer|Lt. Commander|Msafiri Bakari|Red|Adjunct|STYLE=DS9}}

Insignia	Rank/Title	Portrait	Character Name	Duty Post
	Lt. Commander		I238705TZ0 Msafiri Bakari Rich Avatar: Boris Kodjoe Writer ID: I238705TZ0 Human male (he/him) Edit this info	Adjunct

Face List

This is how Bakari's entry appears on the Face List, revealing the extra information from his ID page:

Insignia	Rank/Title	Portrait	Writer, Character, Avatar	Author ID Number, Post, Species/Sex
	Lt. Commander		I238705TZ0 Msafiri Bakari Rich Avatar: Boris Kodjoe Writer ID: I238705TZ0 Human male (he/him) Edit this info	Adjunct

Officers on LOA

If you want to put a character on LOA, just change "Officer" to "LOA Officer" like so:

{{LOA Officer|Lt. Commander|Msafiri Bakari|Red|Adjunct}}

And it will be displayed in the LOA style:

Insignia	Rank/Title	Portrait	Character Name	Duty Post
	Lt. Commander		Msafiri Bakari Rich Avatar: Boris Kodjoe Writer ID: I238705TZ0 Human male (he/him)	Adjunct

Using ID subpages on Template:Crew

You can also use the information from the ID subpages in Template:Crew.

Use "Tile Officer" in the following format:

{{Tile Officer|Character Name|Color|Duty Post}}

{{Tile Officer|Tristam Core|Gold|Chief Engineer}}

Chief Engineer Tristam Core

Nicknames

You can also specify a nickname for characters with long names.

{{Tile Officer|Cassandra Egan Manno|Red|Mission Cmdr.|NICKNAME=C. Egan Manno}}

Mission Cmdr. C. Egan Manno
