Please don't rename or alter the first {{Infobox_Nation | line!

The template is named Infobox_Nation, NOT Infobox_YourNation'sName. 
Change only the data after an equals ( = ) sign, and the template will work as intended.

Characters are player representatives in roleplay (Speaker-Rrit, Dick Tator) or characters assumed in gameplay (Margaret, The Smoking Man), not the players themselves. You should not use the Character infobox on your user page, as that is for NSwiki user information, not NS player information.

Here's some test code for the Character Infobox. There are four totally customizable fields in this one, since everyone seems to have a different conception of what's important to their character. As you can see in the Salusa example, you have a bit of flexibility with regards to field length. Captions are right-justified and small, Fields are centered.

Leave {{Infobox_Character | untouched, and add your choice of captions and fields between the = and the | or }}. Any fields not used will just not show up, but leave the blanks there anyway. The template needs them.


{{Infobox_Character |
subject_name= | photo= |
caption1= | field1= |
caption2= | field2= |
caption3= | field3= |
caption4= | field4= }}
