This infobox is designed for articles detailing the use and adaptation of comics characters outside of their parent medium, such as Barbara Gordon in other media. It should not be used with articles dealing with variations of a character within comics, for those please use {{Infobox comics set index}}. It should also not be used for comics "sets" or "series" that span multiple publications, for those please use {{Infobox comics meta series}}.

Parameter notes
[edit]Common elements
[edit]- Most of the parameters are designed only to show in the infobox if something is entered. They can be left in the template and empty if the item does not pertain to the article or if the information is not known at the time the template is added.
- The code_name field is an exception. If left empty the infobox will not generate a title. If the title for the infobox is the same as the title of the article, code_name can either be deleted or commented out. The later is preferable since the name of the article, or the preferred name of the infobox may change.
- For multiple items in one field, separate each with <br />.
- Example: creators=Stan Lee<br />Jack Kirby
- Placing images in the infobox uses three fields:
- image which is just the filname of the image. The template will add the markup to show the image.
- Example: image= example.jpg
- imagesize which is the width the image will display at. The template will only accept a number here. If left empty or if a string (such as "225px") is entered, the image will default to 250px wide.
- If you find the image to be too tall, reduce the size below 250px.
- The parameter is capped at maximum width of 250. Entering values greater than this will result in the default setting being used.
- The image will also cap at 450 in height.
- image which is just the filname of the image. The template will add the markup to show the image.
- The caption will appear below the image. Keep it short, but indicate the original source published source of the image and the artist(s). There should always be a caption with the image.
- Example: A comic book issue cover would be captioned as "Wolverine vol 2, #17. Art by John Byrne."
- To keep in line with Wikipedia:Alternative text for images, alt needs to be updated with the "text alternative" of the image. This is not the same as the caption. It should also be kept short, but needs to be descriptive of the image.
- For debut, provide the first appearance of the character concept.
- debutmo and debutyr can be used in conjunction with debut. When this is done:
- debut is only the title, volume number, and issue number
- debutmo is the month, season or week specified in the issue's cover date. This field is optional so it can be left out if no "month" is part of the cover date.
- debutyr is the four digit year noted in the cover date. This will automatically link the year to the appropriate "Year in comics" list article. If this field is not present, only the information in debut will show up in the infobox.
- debutmo and debutyr can be used in conjunction with debut. When this is done:
Specific elements
[edit]- For creators, as with debut, list only the creators responsible for the initial character concept.
- source is required and should list the publisher, or publishers, of the original comics material.
- Other media types should be limited to no more than 3 to 5 notable examples for the infobox. The types include:
- novels — Prose fiction focusing on the subject. This can include novelizations of arcs from the comics.
- books — Non-fiction reference works about the subject.
- films — Feature-length films, serials, direct-to-tape/DVD, and TV films. This includes both live action and animation.
- tv — Television shows, including both live action and animation.
- plays — Stage plays.
- music — Stage musicals.
- radio — Radio programs and original narratives released on tape, record, or CD.
- podcasts — Original narrative programs released as podcasts.
- scores — Soundtracks.
- games — Board and card games.
- RPG — Pen and pencil role playing games.
- video — Video and computer games
Categories
[edit]This infobox has been designed to automatically place articles its added to into appropriate categories under Category:Comics characters in other media. To do this the following parameters are used.
- subcat is used to specify a particular subcategory of Category:Comics characters in other media. This can be a publisher, imprint, or subject. Please review the noted category for which subcategories exist.
- pub is a logical flag to indicate if the subcat is or is not a publisher.
- sortkey is optional since sorting will default to code_name or, in the cases of a subject subcategory, none. If "the" has been included under code_name, sortkey must be used to correctly sort the article.
- Example: "code_name=the Punisher" would default sort under "t". Adding "sortkey=Punisher" would move the article to "P".
