| - The Character Sample is a general guideline that should walk editors through the process of writing a good character article. Craig Tucker will be our sample character for the character guideline. In the article opening, we should give a general character outline, such as the following sentence: Craig's first appearance was in "Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo" as a background character, he made his first speaking appearance in "Rainforest Shmainforest". The character's name and any aliases should be bolded on first mention. Also note the quotes around episode names. Also, quotes should not have spaces in between what you are trying to quote; " Text " is bad but "Text" is good. It is also permissible to reiterate the character's first appearance in this paragraph even though it's already stated in the character template. In the character template, fill out as much information as you can back up. If you don't know something, leave it blank. Things like age can be estimated. For example, say we didn't know Craig's age, we can estimate his age to be 9-10 based on the fact the other boys are 10 and that his height is visually similar to the other boys. And because he is a child, we would then set his age as "9-10". For adults and other characters, we would set their age as "Unknown; likely 30s".
