User:Lythronax/Character articles

This is a layout guide for in-universe person articles.

Tense
If the person is still alive, the introduction of their articles should be written in the present tense. If the person is deceased, it should be in the past tense.

Names
Each article should start with the person's full name in bold, and, if they have a nickname, it should be included in "double quotes" before their surname. If they have changed their surname through marriage, you should write:
 * (née OLD SURNAME)

If they have since reverted back to their original name, their previous surname should be written as:
 * (formerly OLD SURNAME)

Dates of birth and death
Dates of birth and death should be written with the day first and within parentheses. If the person's former surnames are listed, their dates of birth and death should be included within the same set of parentheses and separated by a semi-colon.
 * Zoe Hanna (née Walker; born 23 August 1974)
