=== Character list ===
This begins with <code><nowiki>;Characters</nowiki></code>. It should include a list of all the characters, in a bulleted list (using asterisks) within a {{t|columns}} template. Point of view characters (denoted by <code><nowiki>(point of view)</nowiki></code>) appear first, followed by characters featured in the chapter, and lastly characters mentioned (denoted by <code><nowiki>(mentioned only)</nowiki></code>). Even a single mention is enough to warrant inclusion in the list. This includes being mentioned in the epigraph. Unnamed characters should only be included if they have a wiki page. Within each category, organize roughly by order of appearance. This listing should usually use the name of each character's wiki page, the exception being when that page name is a spoiler. For example, Rlain's name isn't mentioned until ''Words of Radiance'', so the ''The Way of Kings'' summary's lists should call him Shen.
 
These names should be linked each and every time they appear in a characters list. However, character names should still be linked the first time they appear within the actual text of the summary.
