Help:Biographies

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.

A complete bio should look something like this:

---

---

Brian

---

• Born: 0
• Died: 33
• Titles: The Savior

The Life of Brian

(Brian's biography)

Brian in Fiction

Film

• film name Year

Television

• Show Name Year

Books

• Book Name Year

Other Appearances

• (TV, Books, Video Games, Anime, 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.
