• When importing this template to another wiki, you should enable extension PortableInfobox at Special:ManageWiki/extensions#mw-section-parserhooks, and might need to make an empty or small edit in newly created template for it to start working.
• To change visual appearance of portable infobox, modify its CSS at wiki's MediaWiki:Common.css page or by using TemplateStyles extension.
• Upon import to another wiki the title can be changed to just "character" or whatever user prefers, so use that title instead of "PI character" in the beginning of the boilerplate code.
