Project Characters

Aims

Project Characters aims to write articles on all one time and recurring characters of the Simpsons cartoon.

How you can help

You can help by opening the Character Guide and selecting any character that is a stub (or not a stub) and expand it using your general knowledge or from other facts and figures. Some of the existing character articles need to be modified to comply with the project standard (see below). You can check Character Stubs to see which articles need expanding.

Some articles need pictures. Help them by adding a picture of the character by uploading a new one. If you see an article without the infobox template, add one immediately.

Participants

To join the project, simply add your name to the bottom of the list. If you are unsure on how to do this, ask an admin for assistance.

Article that Needs Work

Some articles need a lot of work put into them. Every couple of months we will have an article that needs lots of work. This months is:

Ms. Finch

Needed Characters

Articles for these characters have yet to be created:

~~The OmniTouch representative from "Make Room for Lisa"~~
The Southern Gentleman from "E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt)"
Dr. Stacey Swanson
Joey, Fat Tony's third henchman (with the face scar) from "Bart the Murderer"
Nick Callahan from "Realty Bites"
~~Justice of the peace, the man who officiated Homer and Marge's marriage in "I Married Marge"~~
~~Antoine O'Hara. This article now links to The Rich Texan for some reason, but it shouldn't. O'Hara is the character from "Dancin' Homer".~~
The Mathemagician from "Grade School Confidential"
The Commandant from "The Secret War of Lisa Simpson"
The Commandant from "We're on the Road to D'oh-where"
All red links in the Simpsons World factfiles template.

If you notice a character has no article yet, if it's easier, just create the article yourself. If it is a number of characters, add them here so the community can help out.

Message to all Project Members

Template:Novoice
{{Novoice}} Use this template for characters who don't have a voice actor listed on their page. Using it will produce this:

100px

This article is missing voice actor information.

Please improve the article, or discuss the issue on the talk page.

Status parameter

With the new design for infoboxes, a new parameter has been added, the "status" parameter. Most character pages have "unknown" as status. You can help by adding |status=Alive if the character is alive or |status=Deceased if the character is dead, to all infoboxes in character articles.

Structure of an article

Character infobox

Example

Example

Character Information

Gender:	Male ♂ or bgcolor="#ed1c24" style="border-radius: 10px; -moz-border-radius: 10px; -webkit-border-radius: 10px; -khtml-border-radius: 10px; -icab-border-radius: 10px; -o-border-radius: 10px;" \| Female ♀
Status:	Unknown
Age:	Example
Hair:	Example
Occupation:	Example
Relatives:	Parents: Example
First appearance:	Example
Voiced by:	Example

At the start of each character article should be the character infobox with a picture of the character, their gender, hair, age, job, relatives, episode they first appeared in, and their voice actor(s) (see right).

The Article Itself

The article should be written in Simpsons universe view, without mentioning episode names in the text. Episodes should be referenced with the <ref>[[Episode Name]]</ref> and have:

== References ==
<references/>

At the bottom of the article. Episode names are only allowed in the infobox, trivia, appearances, and references. If you come across an article about a character that is not written In Simpsons Universe view, then you cn help by fixing it, or by adding {{In-universe}} to the top of the article to make

This page needs to be put into In-Universe style.

All episode names must be made into references using <ref>"[[Episode Name]]"</ref> with {{Reflist}} at the bottom under a heading references.

Appearances

For a very minor character, a list would be fine, for a recurring character, the following is used. A list of every Ulmann Short, Episode, Game, comic, and Movie this character appeared in. e.g.

*

Simpsons short – "Good Night"

Video game – The Simpsons: Hit and Run
