The following Dossier template has been adapted by Jedermann from the AntiheroBox template, originally edited for the PRIMUS Database by Scarlet using a template by Eisregen on VirtueVerse. Thanks to everyone involved in the process. For the InfoBox alone, use Template:DossierBox.
The DossierBox is designed as an IC profile, as the character would actually appear in the PRIMUS Database.
How to use the DossierBox
The long and involved process works thusly. If you just want the damn Box, go directly to the Cheat Sheet.
Trigger the use of the DossierBox on your page if you plan to include it. At the top of your edit window, enter:
{{DossierBox
Below that, you'll want to fill out all the parameters that you can fill out or care to fill out. For this, you'll need the name of the parameter that corresponds to the field you'll want to fill; in most cases, the parameter names are the same as the name of the field, but they differ in some. A complete list can be found below. The format for filling in a parameter is as follows:
| parameter = value eg. | name = Vigilante
This will replace the {{{name}}} placeholder in the original DossierBox with 'Vigilante'. Each parameter should be put in a new line for ease of parsing and debugging in case something goes wrong.
The last four fields of the DossierBox use a smaller font because they're designed for a potentially long list of additions. How you fill the Powers, Abilities and Equipment fields and whether you want to add any footnotes is essentially up to you, but for easiest readability, you'll want to offer single terms that summarize some or all of your character's applicable capabilities there. This could still be a veritable laundry list of things, or it could be as simple as an entry saying 'Pheromone-Based Mind Control' or whatever. Either way, the main body of the page allows sufficient room to expand on things, the DossierBox is mostly meant for an at-a-glance summary of the most important character data.
Close the Template. This is done by appending the following at the end of your list:

And with this, you're set.
List of Parameters
General
- name - Your character's name. This will appear in big bold letters.

- image - Character image. Should not be wider than 300 pixels. If it's too wide (or too small) it will be automatically shrunken (or expanded) to the appropriate size (but clicking on the image will display the actual image rather than the adjusted version). If you have no image, don't include this parameter and it will default to a placeholder image instead.
- caption - Text that goes right beneath the image, if you think the image requires further commentary. If not, don't include this parameter and there will be no text in the block below the image.

Dossier Cheatsheet
Copy the following onto your page and fill out the appropriate information. Then at the very end of your page, add </div></div></div> (yes, three of them). The page must be at least as long as the InfoBox for the bottom not to awkwardly run behind the box. It's a workaround, but I'm not sure how to elegantly fix it yet.
