Template documentation[create]

This template defines the table "characters". View table.

The "Cape" template is the primary data point for your character. Information submitted is displayed on an "infobox" to the side with vital information available at a glance. Note that some of this information is also read by the wiki to automatically categorize and list your character elsewhere on the site. If you have any questions, ask for help on the Discord and we'll be happy to get you assistance.
