Template:Biography/doc

{{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.

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

Usage

image (optional): An image of the subject of the article. Should be given without [[]] or any settings.

died (optional): The date or year of the subject's death, if deceased.

hometown (optional): Either where the person currently lives or where they hail from.

artworkby (optional): Links to the artist's category of artwork, such as "Category:Artwork by (artworkby)". Default is empty; using {{PAGENAME}} applies the article's name. Do not use this parameter if there is a {{gallery}} of the artist's work on the page that links to the artist's category.

worksby (optional): 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.
