If the character's exact name is used across generations, put G# at the beginning of the article's name, e.g. G4 Rainbow Dash.
If there are multiple versions of a character within the generation, the descriptor should be placed in parentheses after the character's name, e.g. Twilight (so soft).
↓ 
If there are multiple instances of the same name, use the {{disambig-two}} or {{disambig-multiple}} templates, whichever is more fitting
This article is about Generation 3 Island Rainbow. For Generation 4 Island Rainbow, see G4 Island Rainbow
↓ 
A few characters may require a note or disclaimer at the beginning of the article, for example an explanation about the character's name, e.g. Cozy Heart, or about the character's gender/pronouns, e.g. Arpeggia.
Note: This is a note about the character
Insert an image that best represents the character. For early generations this image may be a toy, and for later generations this may be animation or media, unless one type of image is more representative than the other.
For characters with only a couple toy and/or merch releases and no media releases, this image may be skipped.

[Name] in [media name] (for media, e.g. Teddy in My Little Pony Tales)
↓ 
The character's name, generation, species and whatever year they were first seen, whether that be in media or in merchandise, whichever was earliest. The species should be linked to, e.g. [[:Category:G3 Pegasus Ponies|pegasus]]. The year name shoudl also be listed and linked to, eg [[Year One (1997)]].

[Name] is a G# [earth pony/dragon/bushwooly/whatever] first introduced in [year].

↓ 
A general description, in present tense, of the character's personality and/or toy releases, whatever is most applicable. Multiple paragraphs may be used.
For ponies with several different personalities or general overviews, such as G1 Shady who is different in MLP 'n Friends vs the UK comics, the personality section should be skipped here and gone over in more detail in the Media section.
Keep toy descriptions general, you can go into more detail in the Releases section.
If there is any information that is particularly notable or important and would not fit better in a different section, it may go here.

A gallery of the character's main line brushables or equivalent releases. Should be skipped when a character has fewer than five or more than fifteen releases. Links to set and/or pose can be used, whatever is relevant. Poses can be skipped for G5 ponies for now.
