#### Infobox comics character instructions

* is currently being revamped. These instructions may be slightly out of date.*  

The infobox should use as shown below. Copy and paste the following text at the beginning of the comic book character's article:  

''*- Previously titled "real_name"  

- Parameter notes:
  - **Do not delete a parameter** - leave the field blank if there is nothing to enter.
  - The **image** field is setup use the file name *only* and without braces. For example: **image= example.jpg**
  - The **imagesize** (width) parameter is set up to only accept a numeric value. If blank or if a string (such as "") is entered, the image will default to wide.
    - If you find the image to be too tall, reduce the size below .
    - The parameter is capped at 250. Entering values grater than this will result in the default setting being used.
    - The image will also cap at 450 in height.
  - The **caption** will appear below the image. Keep it short, but indicate the comic book and issue # if it is from a comic book, in the form *Wolverine* #17 (typed as )
  - For the **debut** field, provide the first appearance of the character. Example: *Incredible Hulk* #181.
  - For multiple **creators** or **powers**, separate each with ****. For example: **creators=Stan LeeJack Kirby**
  - **Alter ego** and **Full name** are mutually exclusive; the former is for articles where the character has a superhero name, the latter is for characters that go by a shortened version of their given name or a nickname.
  - **Alliances** include any current or previous team affiliations. Please stick to notable affiliations. **Affiliations** also works for this parameter but is being phased out.
  - **Partners** include any current or previous partners. Please stick to notable partnerships. Also, please avoid "employee/employer" relationships.
  - **Aliases** include any **significant** alternate names. It should not include nicknames, epithets, or short-lived names.
  - **Powers** include **significant** current and previous powers, and other notable abilities. This should be a **short list**, without description. Keep longer prose for the article text.
  - This template is designed to place the articles into the relevant "<Publisher> <character type>" categories.
    - Entering the appropriate type of character at **cat** will place the article into that subcategory of characters.. Due to naming conventions for categories, the entry at **cat** must be lower case. For "superhero" and "supervillain" enter just "super".
    - **Subcat** must be used to enter a comic book publisher. Entering this without **cat** will place the article in to "<Publisher> characters" category.
    - **Hero** and **villain** are logical functions that work with "cat= super". Each will add the article to the publisher specific "superhero" and "supervillain" categories.
    - **Sortkey** is required for use with **cat**. It can be changed for forcing a different sort in the category. This parameter will *not* recognize a leading space.
    - Additional "<Publisher> <character type>" categories can be added with **addcharcat#**. Replace "#" with a number (currently the template is set up for 2 additional cats) and list the full category title. Please list the publishers in publication order.
