Cyberpunk Wiki:Manual of Style/Character guide

This is a character page layout which is encouraged to use for all character articles on the wiki.

Lead Section
The lead section is anything included before the table of contents and/or the article content. With the exception of the introductory text, they are optional depending on the situation, and must follow this order:
 * 1) Disambiguation links if there is another article of the same name, or may be confused with another.
 * 2) Article maintenance tags Alternatively, the maintenance tags can be included within a specific section of the article, with the exception of "stub" which must always be present in the lead section.
 * 3) Infobox/transformer template. They are generally wrapped in only include tags.
 * 4) *The infobox information should comply with the following:
 * 5) **Biographical Information, Physical Information, Family information (if any), Faction Information (if any), and details on appearances in other Cyberpunk sources.
 * 6) Short introductory text, including the character name in Bold followed by information about which source the character appears in and any relevant information about them.
 * 7) *Example: Goro Takemura is the former personal bodyguard of Saburo Arasaka. He is a stoic man of honor and fiercely loyal to Arasaka, but finds himself betrayed and out of his element in Night City.
 * 8) *Example: Hideyoshi Oshima is a character featured in Cyberpunk 2077.
 * 9) Table of contents which generally appears after the lead, provided there is more than four headings. If the page is lone but does not have any table of contents, you may manually add it with.

Biography
The Biography section is the history of the character. The Biography should be written in the past tense as it has already happened, and not as a quest walkthrough. Depending on the information available of the character, the Biography can be written into sub-sections; Early Life, 2013, 2020s, 2045, 2070s, and 2077.

If the character's history changes depending on the actions of V (The player character). Please use, make sure to indent using a colon  in the source editor like below. Example:


 * This would then proceed as the biography in past tense, describing the events of Mikoto's death and what happened after. In this case Mikoto was killed by V as instructed by Arasaka, the merc was later payed in full what was promised.


 * This would show the other outcome of V's choice with Mikoto if she was saved. Do this as many times as needed, if there are multiple choices regarding the characters.


 * When another choice followed the prior choice made for the said character, then double indent the choice underneath (using :: ) to indicate it's only shown if the choice above is made. Keep adding : for more nesting choices.
 * When another choice followed the prior choice made for the said character, then double indent the choice underneath (using :: ) to indicate it's only shown if the choice above is made. Keep adding : for more nesting choices.

Database Entry
This is where to put the complete database entry for a character as it appears in Cyberpunk 2077. To do so, italicize each paragraph and make sure to indent using a colon in the source editor like below. Now that line breaks will look extra wide in edit mode, but will go back to normal in the final version. For characters that don't have database entries, this section can be skipped.


 * This is an example of a database entry layout. Make sure to add a line break so paragraphs don't butt up against each other (unless it is so in the game format).


 * For choices, also indent and make bold (don't italicize)
 * then double indent the choice underneath (using :: ) to indicate it's only shown if the choice above is made. Keep adding : for more nesting choices.

Equipment
This section is used for the equipment that characters will often use in the TTRPG or video game. Generally this section will use tables that are each indicated by the game they appear in. Please list all equipment that is listed by the character.

Behind the Scenes
Excerpts from official books or other media, such as the Digital Artbook. Using the Block Quote template is encouraged.

Trivia
Trivia should be listed using bullet points. This includes anything not related to the game (like easter egg examples would go here, developer details, etc.).
 * Anything that is not a note or bug goes here
 * Do not list real world look-a-like people information
