===Suggested Layout===
Character pages are not meant to replace character biographies.  They should be a quick, useful summary of their role in the game with helpful links.
 
<pre>
[[File: CharacterNameAvatar.jpg|left]] Place a brief run-down of the character here.
 
[LINK Profile]
 
[[Category: Characters|{{name}}]]
 
{{year|BirthYear|BirthMonth|HouseCode|cat}}
 
</pre>
 
{{note}}
*Do not change <nowiki>{{name}}</nowiki>, This [[Help:Templates|template]] automatically sets the character to be sorted as Last Name, First Name.
*Do fill in BirthYear, BirthMonth, and [[Template:House|HouseCode]], this [[Help:Templates|template]] will automatically assign ''year/class of'' categories as well as ''house/school'' and ''house/school alumni'' categories.
*Change 'left' to 'right' to put the picture on the other side.
*Check the [[:Category:Characters|Characters Category]] to see other categories characters can be placed in.
**Do not create a category that only one character fits into.
