(Created page with "'''Character articles''', also known as '''biographies''' are the most prominent articles on Equestripedia and thus, have the largest degree of standardization across the site. As such, this article should serve as a guide on how to create a proper article. ==Pre-article== ===Naming=== Characters are typically named by whatever name they are referred to the most.

A '''discriminator''' is a tag that helps make a character distinct from another. It's most often used for characters who appear in multiple continuities. The main discriminators are:
* '''(My Little Pony)''': Characters who appeared in the G1 cartoon show, comics or toyline.
** ''Pending changed to (My Little Pony 'n Friends)''.
* '''(Tales):''' Characters who appeared in the other G1 cartoon show, comics or toyline. Example:
* '''(Generation 2):''' Characters who appeared in the brief G2 media. Currently no examples
* '''(Generation 3):''' Characters who appeared in the G3 media franchise or toyline. Example: '''[[Spike (Generation 3)
* '''(Friendship is Magic):''' Characters who appeared in the G4 cartoon, comics, toyline or other media. Example: '''[[Maud Pie (Friendship is Magic)
* '''(Equestria Girls):''' Characters who appeared in the ''Equestria Girls'' cartoon, comics, toyline or other media. Example: '''[[Scootaloo (Equestria Girls)
Other discriminators exist for '''minor continuities''', such as alternate timelines (ex: [[Sombraverse]]) though unless a character portrayed a major role in such continuity, their information will often just be merged with the main article.
Always use <code><nowiki>{{disambig|NAME}}</nowiki></code> on characters with multiple versions for this reason. For exmaple:
{{disambig|Photo Finish}}
