Halopedia:Standards Council of Halopedia/Legislative Branch/Standards/Biography Articles Format

Proposal
In the interests of standardizing the general format of biography articles, the Biography Articles Format Standard exists.

Biography Articles are all articles that deal with any character within Halopedia. In general, there are two types of characters: major and minor and there are some elements that are expected for major characters that are not expected for minor characters. The boundary for major and minor characters for this standard is based entirely upon whether the information is available for the sections that a major character is expected to have that a minor character is not expected to have - depending on the character, they may have elements of both major and minor characters in their biography

In order, the expected sections are:


 * Introduction: a general introduction stating who the character is including the character's full name, preferred name, major aliases, allegiance and position (if applicable), and either the major events that the character was involved in (for major characters) or the event(s) the character is notable for (for minor characters). Notable family relations should also be mentioned
 * Biography: a biography of the character's history, organized in chronological order.
 * Major Miscellaneous (if applicable): a relatively important section that has been given considerable discussion regarding the character.
 * Personality/Appearance (major characters only): a discussion of the features of the character in general
 * Miscellaneous (if applicable): Other sections as needed for the character
 * See Also (if applicable): a list of relevant pages for readers to look at for further research
 * References
