A while ago, I added a nifty infobox that can display all aspects of a given entity creepypasta in a short and pleasing style. Now, it seems that I need to explain how to use this infobox to the wiki.

Firstly, the entity infobox is for creepypastas with entities only. If it is about a haunted file or server, use their respective infoboxes.

If you are unable to fill in an entry, simply leave it blank or type in "Unknown".

The "title" node is automatically filled in with your Creepyasta's name. Change it if your CP's name isn't yourentity's name.

Next, the image. Now please, do not simply upload the skin of your entity as the image. Use a 3D render of your skin instead (which can easily be done here http://www.minecraft-skin-viewer.net/). Upload a decent resolution image of your entity, it will be the main part of the infobox.

"Caption1" is the caption of the image you upload. This is typically a short description of your entity and/or it's appearance.

"Canonical Names" are names confirmed by the author to be part of the story. This is as Entity 303 is referred to as "303" by the game.

"Community Names" are names given to your entity by the community, ones not part of the story's "canon".

"Date of First Sighting" can be the literal date the entity was theorized to first be spotted, or can be the date the story was written if a first sighting date isn't necessary to the plot.

"Versions" are Minecraft versions your entity may appear on. There can be two entries here, PC Edition and Console Edition. For example, Herobrine's famous first encounter image denoted the version in the top left. Herobrine's version node is as follows:

PC Edition: Alpha v1.0.16_02 and beyond

Console Edition: TU1 (or equivalent) and beyond

For Console versions, you'll typically want to include "or equivalent" rather than listing all version numbers.

"Signs" are signs that the entity is present in a Minecaft world. For Herobrine, this would be:

2×2 tunnels in caves, small pyramids in the middle of the ocean, trees with no leaves, mysterious player-like figure stalking the character

"Powers" is where you give your readers a real scare. This is where you list the powers and abilities your entity has. For Herobrine, this would be:

Building and destroying, teleportation, flying, invisibility

And that's all! Always fill out as much as you can of the infobox, it can be a great addition to your page. Keep on writing :)
