Template:UserCharacterGallery

Example Usage & Notes

This template is designed for images using approximately a 5x7 aspect ratio (550x750px specifically) and using other AR's may mess it up.

Since this is a "Floating" element, that means it will appear to the left of text which follows. If you are finding this annoying and want it on its own line, you must add the clear template after it, using the following code:

{{clear}}
Note - This is not necessary if you are using the UserCharacterGallery-START and UserCharacterGallery-END templates (explained below).

Template Elements

| IMAGE = 
| PAGE = 
| PRIMARY =

  • NAME = Character's name.

  • RANK = If your character holds a rank, what is it? Can be long-form or abbreviated.

  • SPECIES = Species. Can by multiple and you can make it a link.
