The Vault:Fallout 4 character project

The  is a project which aims to improve the quality and layout of articles about Fallout 4 non-player characters. This page is largely a modified version of The Vault:Fallout 3 NPC overhaul project.

Scope
All articles in:
 * Category:Fallout 4 characters
 * Category:Automatron characters
 * Category:Far Harbor characters
 * Category:Vault-Tec Workshop characters
 * Category:Nuka-World characters

Guidelines
Adapt all pages to the standard layout and check character image, infobox and categories.

Layout

 * A sample article can be found at The Vault:Fallout 4 character project/sample.
 * For articles which list multiple (usually non-unique) characters on one page, there is another sample article at The Vault:Fallout 4 character project/generic NPC sample.

Image

 * All images should be of high resolution; 1920 × 1080 pixels are the preferred dimensions.
 * Images should be of good quality and should show the character.
 * Images should show no parts of the UI, i.e. no crosshair or HUD.

A standardized look is easiest to achieve if the images are taken when in dialogue with the NPC and the HUD is disabled.

Infobox
All character infoboxes should at least contain the following fields:


 * For optional fields which may be applicable in certain cases, please see the Infobox character template documentation.
 * For generic characters (characters which are not unique, e.g. Resident (Diamond City)), the  field should be left empty.
 * Race: Human, ghoul, super mutant, or synth. Unlike previous games, skin tone and facial features are modifiable so Causacian, African American, Latino and Asian qualifiers are unnecessary as far as human races are concerned.
 * Affiliation: Of the following points, mention the first point that is applicable for a given character:
 * Name of an organization the character belongs to.
 * Name of a shop/company the character owns/works for.
 * Name of the character's boss.
 * Settlement a character lives in.
 * Quests: Leave blank if no related quests.

Categories
A character page should be in the following categories:
 * Game NPC category:
 * For base Fallout 4, this is Category:Fallout 4 characters.
 * For Automatron, this is Category:Automatron characters.
 * For Far Harbor, this is Category:Far Harbor characters.
 * For Vault-Tec Workshop, this is Category:Vault-Tec Workshop characters.
 * For Nuka-World, this is Category:Nuka-World characters.
 * Race category: For example, Category:Fallout 4 human characters or Category:Fallout 4 ghoul characters. There are also categories for robot, super mutant and synth characters.
 * Location category: For example, Category:Diamond City characters. Not all characters need a category of this type, usually such a category only exists if multiple characters are in this location. See Category:Fallout 4 characters by location for a list of available categories.

Participants
To participate, simply add your name below using. Place every participant on a new line. The list is alphabetised (with the exception of the project leader) - please add your username to the list appropriately.

Progress

 * Add your name to the tasks you are currently working on (simply insert, this adds your signature without date)
 * Mark tasks you have completed with
 * Once all other tasks have been completed, someone else should review the result. This is done to ensure nothing has been overlooked. If that has been done, add  to the "peer review" and "complete" columns.

General checklist

 * Lead: Keep the opening of the article brief. Move excess information into Background or Interactions sections.
 * Layout: Proper section ordering, titling and capitalization as per the layout table above.
 * Notes: Move notes as appropriate into other sections, usually Background or Interactions. Remove or consolidate spurious notes. Reword notes for brevity and clarity.
 * Bugs: Remove bugs which are not unique to the NPC. Move relevant bugs to quest or location articles. Reword bug entries for brevity and clarity.
 * Behind the scenes: Reduce to obvious references. Provide an informative link and keep valid entries to a sentence or two.
 * Navboxes: Check for missing navboxes and add them where applicable. This mostly concerns characters who live in a town (these should have the town-specific navbox added, e.g. Navbox Diamond City) and characters from add-ons (these should have the add-on navbox added, e.g. Navbox Nuka-World).
