Template:Character

Template for characters and their stats. If no entry is given, "None", "Unknown", or "[Please fill in!]" will be automatically entered as appropriate.

Template
Paste the following into a character page and fill in the information as necessary. Unused parameters should be deleted.

For more information, see below.

Images
The |image and |image2 parameters are for images. Type in only the file name (e.g. image.png ) and not the full wiki code (e.g. ). Use the |size and |size2 parameters to change the size of the images, or omit either one to use the default size of 170 pixels. Be sure to add "px" after the number or the image will turn out unnecessarily large.

Names
Some occupations have badge icons associated with them. To add them, enter the following in the |name parameter:


 * Prosecutor: prosbadge icon big.png [name]
 * Defense attorney: Aa5badge.png [name]
 * Police officer: PoliceBadge.png [name]
 * Judge: JudgeBadge.png [name]
 * Fey clan member: Magatama.png [name]

When filling in the Japanese name, please give the romanization in the Western style with the given name written before the family name.

The |alias parameter is for regular nicknames and aliases. For example, Larry Butz calls Franziska von Karma "Franzy" repeatedly as his "pet name" for her. However, Phoenix Wright once says to her: "Excuse me, princess!", and Godot calls her "Lady von Whippingberg" once. Both "Princess" and "Lady von Whippingberg" would go under "One-off nicknames", using the |aliastemp parameter.

The |aai parameter is used to identify characters exclusive to Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, Gyakuten Kenji 2, and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies. The purpose of this is to remove the rows for the European names entirely, as currently there are no plans for European countries to get a version of these games in their own languages. Entering anything into "aai" will remove the French, German, Spanish and Italian fields.

Currently, the only Ace Attorney game with a Dutch translation is Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Unless it is filled in, the Dutch field will be hidden.

Biological information
The |birthday parameter is usually used for the birth year, though some characters have known birthdays in addition to birth years. Birth years are deduced from age records given in profiles in the court record or organizer. See the timeline page for more details.

The Age field is controlled by four parameters. Many characters have only one recorded age and thus only need the |age and |ageref parameters. Other characters have multiple recorded ages. In this case, |age and |ageref are used for the earliest recorded age (in the in-game chronology), while |age2 and |ageref2 are used for the latest recorded age. The purpose of |ageref and |ageref2 is to denote the game or episode in which the ages are recorded in the court record or organizer.

If |age is given but |ageref is not, then the reference will read "age at debut". This is a deprecated feature and it is preferable to specify a reference using |ageref. If |age is not given, then the Age field will simply read "Unknown". The full result is shown as:

Unknown

or

age

or

age - age2

The |status parameter is used to denote the last known status of the character, usually either Alive or Deceased. A date can also be specified (e.g. "Alive (2019)"), as well as whether the character has been arrested for a crime. Being convicted of murder can be useful information because such convictions often lead to a death penalty.

Height information is given in official guidebooks in centimeters. Originally, only the centimeter figures were used in this wiki's character pages, but calculated imperial measurements have since been added in. The |height parameter should be written as X' Y"; Z, where X denotes feet, Y denotes inches, and Z denotes centimeters.

Miscellaneous
The |debut parameter is for entering the episode in which the character debuted.

The |theme parameter is for the character theme. Please note that, in general, the title of the character theme should explicitly refer to the character, or the theme must play every time the player encounters him/her.

Deprecated parameters
In existing character pages, you may see parameters that are not mentioned or listed above. The template is made so that these parameters still work, but it is preferable not to use them on new character pages. Currently, the only working deprecated parameter is |death, which enters "Deceased (|death)" into the "Last known status" field.
