This is the format for biographies on the SamuraiWiki.

Information goes on the top of the page, before the actual biography:


* ''Born: [[1534]]''
* ''Died: [[1582]]''
* ''Titles: Owari no kami, Kazusa no suke, Udaijin (1577) Sadaijin (1578), Daijô daijin (1578)''
* ''Childhood Name: Kipposhi''
* Japanese: 織田信長 ''(Oda Nobunaga)''


This is the result:


  • Born: 1534
  • Died: 1582
  • Titles: Owari no kami, Kazusa no suke, Udaijin (1577) Sadaijin (1578), Daijô daijin (1578)
  • Childhood Name: Kipposhi
  • Japanese: 織田信長 (Oda Nobunaga)

Any missing information should be left out completely.

The biography should have at least one heading if there is going to be a "xyz in Fiction" section at the bottom:


==The Life of Brian==

(Brian's biography)

==Brian in Fiction==

===Film===

* ''film name'' Year

===Television===

* ''Show Name'' Year

===Other Appearances===

* (TV or Movies where the historical figure is a corallary or guest character)


And so on.

It will look like this:


The Life of Brian

(Brian's biography)

Brian in Fiction

Film

  • film name Year

Television

  • Show Name Year

Other Appearances

  • (TV or Movies where the historical figure is a corallary or guest character)

Other useful information:

Code: [[Oda Nobunaga|Nobunaga's]] house.
Result: Nobunaga's house.

Code: The castle that was taken was [[Maruyama Castle|Maruyama]].
Result: The castle that was taken was Maruyama.

Code: The [[Imagawa Clan|Imagawa]] invaded in 1565.
Result: The Imagawa invaded in 1565.

Obviously, when the text calls for the full name or full castle name, just link like normal [[Oda Nobunaga]].

Also, until someone says it would look better or should be done that way, we will only link the first occurence of a link - for example, the first Oda Nobunaga will be [[Oda Nobunaga]], but after that, no more occurences will be linked.
