-	The '''Character Name''' is '''the most important''' element of the Minisheet. This field will not only display the character's name, but is used to grab the character's portrait from the Wiki to display it. Once this is filled out, that image will be displayed on the Edit form. This lets you verify that everything is working. The name entered here must match the name of the character's Wiki page. This is why it is important to fill out the Wiki page first. If this name does not match, the character's portrait will not be fetched, and various other things won't work right.
