Template:Character/doc

Used on Characters to specify what group a character (or group of characters) falls into.

Syntax
To use it, click into the second column of the table listing the character pages (the second bar in source mode) and type in or

First parameter
The first parameter is mandatory, and must be specified with one of the following options:
 * main
 * supporting
 * background
 * fanmade

Second parameter
The second parameter is to pluralize "character", if the page covers a group of ponies rather than one singular pony. "s" must be filled into the parameter in order to achieve this.

Usage notes

 * A pony/character's classification should match the classification he/she receives on the FiM wiki as accurately as possible; that is, main characters there should also be listed as main characters here, and so on and so forth. For reference, see here, here, and here. If a pony/character does not have a page on the FiM wiki, the editor's best judgment should be used, but a good indicator is whether or not they play a prominent role in an episode (if they do, that is usually a good indicator of being a supporting character).
 * For the purposes of the wiki, all non-show characters are considered fanmade.
