Traits and skills can be organized into subsections based on what applies to the character. For example, [[Marvin Marsh]] has trait subsections for stubbornness and forgetfulness, and a skill subsections for his role as Town Historian. (For recurring characters, these should generally be traits that appear in more than one episode.)

Direct in-paragraph citations for specific episodes are generally avoided in the '''About''' section on a character page, in order to create a broader sense of who the character is, but can be used anywhere else on the page.
