Template:Biography

From PathfinderWiki
Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible)
Subpages of this template:

{{Biography}} is for use in any article about a writer, editor, publisher or otherwise credited contributor to the Pathfinder campaign setting. Some parameters are optional and can be left blank; if undefined, these optional parameters will not appear as part of the template. The recommended image size is a width of 250px so that it will completely fill the infobox without increasing its size.

This template is based upon the Book and Deity templates at the Forgotten Realms Wiki.

Links to the author's category of published works, such as "Category:Works by (worksby)". Default is empty; using {{PAGENAME}} applies the article's name. Do not use this parameter if there is a {{creditsopen}}/{{creditsclose}} section that links to the creator's category.
