The store section uses one of the [[:Help:Stores|store templates]] to implement its functionality.  This way, fewer errors are introduced because of typos and the format is standardized.

''Ed. Note:'' Yes, I am aware that not even all of my own articles meet this format, and I am continually updating and revising old articles so that they do.  I try to split my time to find a good balance between making all of my own old stuff pretty and adding new stuff. :-)

Creating new articles for characters can be moderately difficult. The following template may be copied-and-pasted as a start for the preferred format. Note that it is better to have the information complete and accurate than in the precise preferred format, since it can always be edited after the fact to match the preferred format.
