"Character name" The character name should go first in bold letters. It should start of a sentence explaning the character and their role in the series. This is were the introduction goes. From there any very important information about the character should be put there. At the top of the page, every character page should have the "InfoboxCharacter" template. Fill in as much as possible. See the example to the right. SummaryGive a short summary about the character. Ex: K.C. Cooper is an intelligent, extremely mature, and talented teenager whose skills range from computer programming to being a black belt in the martial arts. PersonalityA description of the character's personality should be here. Examples of where it is shown in the series can also be added. Ex: K.C. is a smart and socially awkward girl who is very skilled in computers and programming and has a black belt in martial arts. Character HistoryThis is the section where all of the character’s history throughout the series is placed. This section will be broken into paragraphs. It shows the character's progression throughout the series. Whenever an episode airs, we add to the character history. As the series goes on, the history of main character's will have to be separated by season. Physical AppearanceThe appearance section explains what the character looks like, how they normally dress, what their style is like and how it progresses throughout the series. RelationshipsIf there is already a relationship page between two characters, please give a brief explanation about their relationship and then add a link to the relationship page to read more, but only if the relationship between the specific characters is important enough to have its own page. This section will be divided in other sections shown below. FamilyThe character's family members are listed and their relationships with that family member is explained. FriendsThe character's friends are listed and their relationships with each friend is explained. RomancesThe character's romantic interests are listed and their relationship with each interest in explained.

TriviaAny trivia about the character is listed here. AppearancesThis section is only for recurring and guest characters. This is a list of all of the episodes the character has appeared in. As the series goes onto seasons, this will be separated by season. GalleryThe "Gallery" template must be displayed on this section. All characters, episodes, pairings, locations, songs and cast members should have galleries but they must have their own page. The page should be linked with the gallery template, shown below.
ReferencesThis is where the references are listed. Everything on the page that cannot be verified without a citation (history, background, trivia mostly) should be given a reference. In this section all that needs to be put is this "Reflist" template. With that there, all of the references listed on the page will automatically appear. At the very end of the page the "Characters" template should be there, like the one shown below.
