- For help writing an article about a person, see Help:Writing an article about a person.
{{Person tabbed}} is for use in any article about a non-player character (NPC) in the Pathfinder campaign setting. It is preferably used where the NPC has changed considerably between versions and documenting its differing stats in 1E and 2E is valuable. All parameters are optional and can be left blank, though it is preferred to include as many as possible; 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.
For people who exist in only one edition of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, use {{Person}}, which does not include the edition-specific tabs. Furthermore, the "Both editions" form of {{Person}} is preferred for all NPCs unless they vary significantly between editions.
This template is based upon the Person template located at the Forgotten Realms Wiki, and is extended from {{Creature}} to use the Tabber extension.
