I have never created a blog (well, only once, actually), so it could be interesting to tell about the style I use for the pages relating to characters. Of course, some information that's not from this style is kept if it's fundamental, unless a replacement can be found. This is not for bragging purposes, though.
The style I use is a modified version of Sonic News Network:Style/Characters from the Sonic News Network. You can also check out my work there.
Sections
For this, I'll use different colored boxes to represent how important a section is for articles edited by me. I will also put some other tips and additional information.
- Red boxes mean that they are obligatory.
- Yellow boxes mean that those are important, but that they do not need to be in the articles.
- Green boxes are for information that can be omitted.
Header
This is the introduction to the article.
I use a "Tab" template if necessary, divided into "Main article" (or "Main page"), "Gallery" (if there are more that sixteen images relating to the character), and "History and appearances" (said subpage has not been added yet, but there is an example of it at my sandbox 5).
I add the "Infobox Character" template. The images I use are from the films, though they can also be from other sources.
I add a quote from the character (or similar) using the "Quote" template.
I start the article with a short introduction. Sometimes it can be just a few phrases, though it can also be some paragraphs.
Appearance
I make use of a slideshow gallery to show many different designs from the character.
I describe the character in different forms of media.
History
I make an essay about the character's contributions to different forms of media, excluding video games.
Game appearances
I write about the character's appearances in video games. I start with their contributions in said game, similar to "History", and then I write about their behavior and abilities.
Overview
If the character has only appeared in a single game, then I use this instead of "Game appearances".
Personality
I write about the character's behavior in this section.
Powers and abilities
I use this section to write about the character's abilities.
Equipment
I make use of this section to tell about the character's equipment, such as weapons.
(Any transformation)
I use this to describe the character's transformations. If there are many transformations used by the character, I use a "Transformation" section and then many subsections describing said transformations.
Weaknesses
This section is used to tell about the character's disadvantages during a fight.
Relationships
This is for the interations of the character with other characters.
(Any other character)
I use these sections to write about the relationship with the two characters, mainly in the point of view of the character of the article.
Friends/allies / Allies
This is for a list of the character's friends and allies. Transformations are excluded. Sometimes, I might also add some extra information, such as both characters are related, if they are best or good friends/allies, or if they are rivals.
Neutral
This is for characters that, sometimes, might be allies or enemies of the character, or that their current relationship is unknown. Works similar to the "Friends/allies / Allies" section.
Enemies
This is for the character's enemies. Works similar to the "Friends/allies / Allies" section.
Quotes
This is for the character's most distingushable and memorable quotes.
Trivia
This is for miscellaneous information that does not fit into any other section.
See also
I use this to link to similar articles.
References
This section if for all the references in the article, using the "Reflist" template.
External links
I use these for external links relating to the character, though I do not use this section very often.
