This is a documentation subpage for Template:Rvbchar (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.
This template employs intricate features of template syntax.
You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages.

This is a template designed to aid in the linking of characters in Red vs. Blue. Currently, each character has a section in one of the Red vs Blue characters auxiliary articles, so a proper piped link looks something like [[List of characters in Red vs Blue characters#Lopez|Lopez]]. This is somewhat annoying and error-prone to type out. With this template, you would type {{rvbchar|Lopez}}, which produces Lopez, or {{rvbchar|Lopez|Lopez "la Pesado"}} for a different display text: Lopez "la Pesado".

The exhaustive list of valid characters is:

  • Sarge
  • Simmons
  • Grif
  • Church
  • Donut
  • Tucker
  • Caboose
  • Tex
  • Red Team
  • Blue Team
  • Lopez
  • Warthog (or Puma or Chupathingy)
  • Sheila
  • Andy
  • Wyoming
  • Doc
  • O'Malley
  • York
  • Gary
  • Alien
  • The Great Destroyer
  • The Red Zealot
  • Grunts
  • Phil
  • Vic
  • Vic Jr.
  • Max Gain
  • Jimmy
  • Mickey
  • Captain Flowers
  • Sister
  • Junior
  • New Alien
  • Delta
  • The Meta
  • The Counselor
  • Walter
  • York

If an unknown name is given, the template instead degenerates to usage information linking to this documentation page. Bad character names can therefore be detected by checking Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:rvbchar/doc. Any main namespace pages linking here probably contain a bad character name and should be corrected.
