Template:16CHAR


 * note:This template is for historical characters appearing in the fiction and if the 'd=' parameter is defined, as is used in tables listing a books characters, will generate also generate a second link giving uniformly formated double links. Thus one template serves to link both the section covering the character, and to the regular wikipedia article on such a figure as Gustavus Adolphus.


 * note 2:
 * Until 1632 characters is split and 1632 historical characters created, this template operates identically to 16CHar (And if the 'd=' parameter is unused, identically with 16char, both of which are for major fictional characters, whereas this template is for historical characters appearing in the fiction)
 * The analog template is by design, 16CHar which does the double links for the rare character like Mike Stearns which can meet notability guidelines, and so have a separate article.


 * Both this and 16CHar CAN provide double article page links to a character in the series: 1) a direct link to a (fictional or historic) character article is conditional, it will only manifest if 'd=link name' is specified. Moreover, it automatically pipetricks the link into a mere click reference.2) and the section (on either 1632 characters or 1632 historical characters) covering the character... which is the default, and operates whether 'd=linkname' is specified or not.
