Character name (character_name)

The infobox should show only the name of the character at the present time OR their last known name (example: "Connie Beauchamp", not "Connie Beauchamp/Chase" or "Connie Beauchamp (née Chase)"), 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.

Actor name (actor_name)

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

Created by (creator)

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

Introduced by (introducer)

The name of the person (executive producer) who introduced the character, if it was not created by them.

Image (image)

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

Caption (caption)

An image 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.

Spin-off appearances (spinoffs)

If a character has appeared in a Casualty or HolbyBlue episode, it should be listed here.

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.

Occupation (occupation)

The character's occupation should be their current occupation, last known occupation, or last occupation before their death.

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.
