Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template uses Lua:

Infobox fictional family is used to create an infobox for a fictional family of any type.

Usage[edit]

The blank form immediately below shows the most commonly used fields, and complete instructions are listed further down the page.

{{Infobox fictional family
| name               = 
| series             = <!-- or |franchise=; use without the italic on the outside -->
| image              = 
| alt                = 
| caption            = 
| first_major        = <!-- per [[MOS:MAJORWORK]] - major works include TV series, films, books, albums and games -->
| first_minor        = <!-- or |first_issue=; Per [[MOS:MINORWORK]] - minor works include TV episodes, chapters, songs and game missions -->
| first_date         = 
| last_major         = 
| last_minor         = <!-- or |last_issue= -->
| last_date          = 
| creator            = <!-- only the credited creators; use adapted_by= for adaptations -->
| members            =
}}

The |members= parameter can handle a list of names, but {{Infobox fictional family/member}} can also be used if more detail is desired. The subtemplate is called as follows:

{{Infobox fictional family/member
|name = 
|portrayer = 
|first = 
|last = 
|occupation = 
}}
