Background
Here you can add info about the character. It is very important that you make sure that the text has good grammar and sentence structure, and is easy to understand.
Appearance (Optional)
Discusses the appearance of the character. Bullet point if one has radically different outfits or shifts in design. As an example:
- Pre-Timeskip Design: Text here.
- Post-Timeskip Design: Text here.
Personality (Optional)
Discusses the personality of the character, though this is handled slightly differently then other wikis. The way personalities is expected to be written is through a simplified trait and then explaining the reasoning behind it through bullet points. As an example:
- Highly Sociable: Bob talks to everyone, no matter who they are, always exuding confidence. Due to this he is one of the most popular people at work, always making sure to greet people with a cheery hello.
- Serious: While being highly sociable, Bob is also very serious about his work, making sure to always get it done as early as possible, due to this he has multiple employee of the month trophies.
Normally personality should be more expansive and in-depth but this is just a basic rundown of how it should work. Some examples for personality traits can be found here.

Key Information: For characters that require more information on what's being described for each key, mainly for RPG based characters to explain what constitues as an "early game", "mid game" and "late game" for them along with a rough approximation of what levels they'd be for each section, you can find some examples on, these, RPG, profiles.
Grade: The grade of the character (in bold; add any explanations using brackets, not in bold).
Tier: Current Tier of the character (in bold).

Sometimes referred too as "street smarts", this type of intelligence is how one uses their social interactions in day to day society to their advantage. Usually characters with extremely good charisma are good examples of a socially intelligent character.
Intelligence based off scientific achievements they've made.
Mainly relevant for characters in strategy based, the intelligence of one's strategies. This can apply to combat, board games, gaming, or how they apply their strategies to general life activities.
Similar to strategic intelligence, though this mainly focuses on their combat prowess.
Different types of intelligence levels that don't apply to the previous tabbers can be made their own unique ones. Some other forms of intelligence are explained on the Intelligence page.
Knowledge: The level of acquired knowledge one has, unlike intelligence which is capacity to learn, knowledge is how much the character knows overall. These are some of the following categories knowledge can be split into as it's an all-encompassing subject:
Knowledge based off one's years of experience, accomplishments they've made and overall amount of acquired knowledge.
Sometimes referred too as "street smarts", this type of knowledge is how one has acquired knowledge from social interactions. Usually characters with extremely good charisma are good examples of a socially knowledgeable character.
Knowledge based off scientific information they've acquired and learned.
Mainly relevant for characters in strategy based, this showcases how much knowledge they've acquired from strategic based training. This can apply to combat, board games, gaming, or how they apply their strategies to general life activities.
Similar to strategic intelligence, though this mainly focuses on their combat prowess.
Different types of knowledge that don't apply to the previous tabbers can be made their own unique ones. Knowledge is extremely vast so it can apply to almost anyhting.
Powers and Techniques
A list of the character's general abilities (Please add links to the "Powers and Abilities" pages, if it is possible).
Equipment
This is in regards to the type of equipment a character carries. There's varying levels of equipment which give the following:
Equipment the character usually carries on their person.
Equipment the character normally uses, this and on hand should realistically only be separated in cases where one has equipment they normally use not on their person.
Equipment that the character never really uses and isn't something they're able to use normally.
Equipment that a character can use or has used that can only be used once.
Equipment the character no longer has.
Notable Techniques
A list of some abilities the character generally uses.
Other
Standard Tactics: The usual behavior exhibited by a character during battles. For example, which actions a character will first perform when fighting an unknown opponent or which abilities they will use frequently, rarely, or never. If the character's behavior is too inconsistent to identify, they fall under "wildcard".
Weaknesses: Characters weaknesses, this can apply to in-universe only weaknesses, character flaws, or technical unconventional weaknesses of their abilities the verse never really explores or notes.
Note: Extra things to note that aren't already listed on the profile through references or the explanations section.
Explanations
This section can be used to explain the reasons for the assigned power level of a certain character more in-depth, as well as how the powers and nature of the character fundamentally work. This is particularly useful for more high-tiered characters.
Miscellaneous Feats
As there are many different kinds of feats within fiction, only the relevant feats should be noted in Attack Potency, Durability, Speed, Lifting Strength, Striking Strength, etcetera. In this section a collection of overall feats the character manages should be listed, this gives further indexing for the impressive array of things a character has done. It should also be noted that any category is fine. Showing off a characters natural skills, such as cooking, acrobatics, intelligence, etcetera that's not a direct relevant feat on the statistics area above can also be listed here. It should look like the following (Note that this is just an example and you only need the relevant categories for the character in question, along with this you can add your own tabber for a category not listed here):
Trivia
An optional addition where you can add numerous facts about a character.
Gallery
Put other pictures of the character here.
Battle Records
Put the character's official canon fights here.
It should be written in the following way
- [[Character's Name in bold]] - [A link to the fight in question]
- Conditions: Conditions and context the character had or the opponent had.
- Location: The location of the fight.
- Note: Any extra context that needs to be added about the fight in question, normally a note saying if the character was holding back, if they would have realistically won, etcetera.
Plot important fights the character has won.
Other fights the character has won.
Plot important fights the character has lost.
Other fights the character has lost.
Plot important fights the character has had a draw in.
Other fights the character has had a draw in.
For really rare cases where there is no confirmed note for who won, lost, or if there was a draw for a fight. These are normally for fights that have no canon mention of what happened and who won.
References
Any feats listed that gives a quote from a novel or episode/manga chapter number should go in this section with a "<References/> or "{{scroll box|content={{reflist|2}}}}
Categories
For character profiles, always insert the category "Characters", as well as one with the name of the related franchise here.
You should also always add the tier for the character. These go from "Tier 11" to "Tier 0", and also include "Unknown Tier".
For example, the most important categories in Son Goku's page are "Characters", "Dragon Ball", and "Tier 6".
