:''Creating a basic bio is quick and easy to do! Wherever you see brackets below, just add in the text you need, replacing things like 'your name' or 'your ship' with the relevant information inside the coding provided, or follow the instructions given - then delete the brackets and any instructions inside them! Once you're done, you'll have a bare bones bio that you can build on using the FBC tutorials, getting tips from other people's bios or adding your own ideas! Click "edit" to get started! Good luck and enjoy!''
__NOTOC__


<!--Let's start with your sidebar! Take out Harry Kim's info and put in your own character's information. Valid colors are Red, Gold, Blue, Teal, Violet, Black, Silver, and Green. Remember those colors as we'll be using them for the section headers in the rest of this bio.
{{heading|Zephyr lost these before|maroon}}
*[[Category:Award_Display_Templates|Award Display Template]]: The collapsible display template I used in my awards. I'm still not entirely sure on how to clear the spacing out of the service block, as it needlessly adds a blank column in the service awards thing that I don't know how to remove. On all my character pages, I code it by hand.
*[[Template:Ribbons Display]]: Rich's ribbon display template thingie
*[[External Auditory Receptor System]]
*[[Template:ShipAwards]]: I'm never gonna remember how to update this without documentation.
*[[https://wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Small_ship_icons Small Ship Icons category]]
*Code formatting for "The Crew" awards section: <pre>[[Special:PermaLink/322140|The Crew]] <-- replace the # with the number of the revision</pre>


Not all ranks are available in all colors. Use full rank names (except for Lieuenant JG and Lt. Commander, and Lt. Colonel). Pipstyle can be changed from Default to DS9, STO, or Slanted. See the table later in this bio for examples of each.
<pre>|{{Shiptile|USS Invicta|Cardiff_new_9.jpg|x80px}}</pre> gives you {{Shiptile|USS Invicta|Cardiff_new_9.jpg|x80px}}
*Gallery code usefulness: <pre><gallery mode=packed caption="Movie Poster" heights=300px>File:Gorkon movie poster.jpg|Gorkon Movie Poster</gallery></pre> gives you <gallery mode=packed caption="Movie Poster" heights=300px>
File:Gorkon movie poster.jpg|Gorkon Movie Poster
</gallery>
*[[Creation_and_Upkeep_of_a_Character_Page|Creation and Upkeep of a Character Page]]: I use this all the time. Jumping off point when I recreate many of the old histories for those who are no longer with us or if I do it for an NPC. Also as a jumping-off point for new players.
*[[Template:CrewHistory-Subpages]]


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.
