Wikisimpsons:Style Guide Characters

Smiley12 is the leader of this project. Please direct any questions about Style Guide Characters or its actions to this user. 250px Some WikiSimpson members have formed a project to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about characters. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page, or sign up below. 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 Category:Character stub 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.

Combee123 Solar Dragon Goal of the Month Some of you may have seen the page of One-Time Characters. Some of you may also have seen that the page is only updated to season 19. The Goal of the Month is to update the page to season 21. Every character on that page should also have their own article. Structure of an article Character infobox Example Example Character Information Gender: Example 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. 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" Simpsons short – "Watching Television" Episode – "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire" Episode – "Bart the Genius" Episode – "Homer's Odyssey" THOH – "Treehouse of Horror" – The Simpsons Movie Comic story – The Amazing Colossal Homer Video game – The Simpsons: Hit and Run Template:Bookapp End Templates Below is a list of the templates which can be added at the end of the page.
