Character name (character_name)

The infobox should show only the name of the character at the present time OR their last known name (example: "Diane Sugden", not "Diane Blackstock/Sugden" or "Diane Sugden (née Lambert)"), previous names can be provided in the article. Also, please do not provide titles such as "Dr." or "Rev." in the infobox, it can be put in the article.

For characters who have been portrayed by more than one actor, all names can be used.

The name of the person(s) who created the character.

Image (image)

If available, an image can be added, with an appropriate licence and non-free use rationale.

Caption (caption)

An image caption should only be used if more than one actor is listed in the infobox. The caption should say which actor is portraying the character in the image.

Duration (years)

The duration should be how long the character has been in the show, not the actor. Closed dates should be separated by an en dash (). Open dates (for characters still in the show) should end with an em dash ().

First and last appearances (first and last)

The first and last appearances should be the first and last dates the character appeared in the programme.

Appeared on (appeared)

For characters who only appeared in one episode.

Book appearances (books)

The book appearances should show the Emmerdale novels that the character has appeared in.

Spin-off appearances (spinoffs)

Similar to books, if a character has appeared in a spin-off, it should be listed here.

Species (species)

If the character is not human, put what it is (e.g. Dog).

Date of birth (dob) and Date of death (dod)

Dates of birth and death should be wikified (i.e. [[10 July]] [[1962]], not 10 July 1962 or [[10th July]] [[1962]]. If the full date of birth or death is unknown, a partial date (i.e. 1915) is fine, but the year should not be linked to unless the full date is given. See WP:MOSNUM for more information.

Status (status)

Marital status should be one of the following:

  • [[Single (relationship)|Single]]
  • [[Married]]
  • In a relationship
  • In a [[civil partnership]]
  • [[Widowed]]
  • [[Divorced]]
  • [[Legal separation|Separated]]
  • Co-habiting

If the character is dead, "[[Death|Deceased]]" is acceptable. If the character is a child, marital status should be left blank.

Home (home)

The current home of a current character, or last known home of a past character. If a character is dead, this should be left blank.

Occupation (occupation)

The character's occupation should be their current occupation, last known occupation, or last occpation before their death. If the character is unemployed, please state "Unemployed".

Owner (owner)

If the character is a pet, list the owners of the pet here.

Family (family)

The list of family members in the infobox should be the closest relatives only (i.e. parents, siblings, spouse and children), to keep the list short. Other relatives can be listed in a separate section in the article.

If the character is a pet, list the owners of the pet here.
