[edit] Template Usage

This template must be included at the very top of all Kinship information pages.

The "emblem" line is a preformatted to match your page name. Once you paste the template, fill in the information and save the page, a red link will appear. You can click on that and upload your image. (You might have to replace the .jpg to .png)

For further detail there is an example Kinship page here. We recommend just copying the source of the example page and modifying that on your own character page.

Please do not use these pages as a sandbox, if you want to work on your Kinship's page, please use your own profile page or some generic sandbox, not the template itself, the usage instructions, or the Example Kinship Page.
