The various character bio pages need to be given a unified format. A proposal follows. Feel free to discuss it on the talk page.

Naming Conventions

All character bio pages should be named in the format "First Last", without middle names, initials or callsigns. Redirects should be made from all possible forms. Thus, the article for "Helo" will be at "Karl Agathon" with the following redirects:

  • Helo
  • Karl C. Agathon
  • Agathon, Karl
  • Agathon, Karl C.

Where no name is available, a callsign is acceptable (e.g. Crashdown) or a brief statement of occupation (e.g. Armistice Station Officer).

Where necessary, disambiguate with a role or profession in parenthesis, lower case, for example Mueller (pilot) vs. Mueller (president); Stinger (galactica) vs. Stinger (pegasus)

Templates

Use the Template:Character Data template where possible, along with a photograph. Size photographs to 200px horziontal in template, e.g.

{{Character Data| 
|photo= [[Image:Character.jpg|200px]]
