Parameters
The infobox should show only the name of the character at the present time OR their last known name (example: Janine Evans, not Janine Butcher/Evans or Janine Evans (née Butcher), previous names can be provided in the article. Also, please do not provide titles such as "Dr." or "Rev." in the infobox, it can be put in the article.
 * Character name (name):

For characters who have been portrayed by more than one actor, all names can be used, along with the duration in brackets.
 * Actor name (portrayer):

The name of the person(s) who created the character.
 * Created by (creator):

The name of the person (executive producer) who introduced the character, if it was not created by them. If the character was reintroduced by a different executive producer, more than one name can be listed, with the year they were (re)introduced.
 * Introduced by (introducer):

If available, an image can be added, with an appropriate licence and non-free use rationale. Image2 and Image3 should only be used if more than one actor has portrayed the character.
 * Image (image/image2/image3):

An image caption should only be used if more than one actor is listed in the infobox. The caption should say which actor is portraying the character in the image.
 * Caption (caption/caption2/caption3):

The duration should be how long the character has been in the show, not the actor. Closed dates should be separated by an en dash –. Open dates (for characters still in the show) should end with an em dash —. If from the same century, the second year should use only the last two digits (1996–98)
 * Duration (years):

Can be past, present or future; regular, recurring or guest.
 * Classification:

The first and last appearances should be the dates of the episodes the character first and last appeared in the programme.
 * First and last appearances (first and last):

For characters who only appeared in one episode, the date of that episode.
 * Appeared on (appeared):

The book appearances should show the EastEnders novels that the character has appeared in, and should link to the certain novel's page where applicable. Please only show the last part of the book's name, such as Home Fires Burning rather than EastEnders – Book One: Home Fires Burning. The title should be used, rather than the number of the book, to avoid confusion as it may seem that a character in book number 11 has appeared in 11 books if the number is used.
 * Book appearances (books):

Similar to books, if a character has appeared in a spin-off, it should be listed here, along with the year. This includes television, DVD and Internet spin-offs.
 * Spin-off appearances (spinoffs):

If the character is not human, put what it is (e.g. Dog).
 * Species (species):

Dates of birth and death should be not wikified (i.e. 10 July 1962 not 10 July 1962). See WP:Linking for more information.
 * Date of birth (born) and Date of death (death):

The current home of a current character, e.g. 45 Albert Square, or the last known home of a past character, e.g. Florida. If a character is dead, this should be left blank.
 * Home (home):

Any main occupations the character has had should be listed here along with durations. If the character only had one main job, durations are not necessary. In some cases, the present job is listed, followed by a list of previous jobs, with no durations.
 * Occupation (occupation):

If the character is a pet, list the owners of the pet here.
 * Owner (owner):

If there is a Wikipedia article for the main family the character belongs to, add it here. Add names of family members using the remaining fields.
