		+	== Roll-Your-Own Stats For Character infobox2 ==
		+	... with Roll-Your-Own Titles.
		+
		+	Think of these as ''Totally Optional Template Options'' that provide additional flexibility to this template for building infoboxes for things other than characters. In constructing this template, I made it lean heavily to the needs of an individual character for content and topics, yet it is also very flexible, and yes you can indeed add a option for team members.
		+
		+	Here's a current example for [[Apollo11]].
		+
		+	<pre>
		+	\|PD1title = Members:
		+	\|PD1info = Garrison, Carruthers, McCaleb, eight others so far unnamed
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	Each section of the infobox (AstroFacts, PersonalData, and InfoDump) have three of these title-info pairs. We can add more if needed. We can also promote an Optional-option to permanent-option if we find the particular topic keeps cropping up. The difference between these is you must provide a title (which can be anything you want it to be) to go along with the info, and you must pair the names correctly
		+
		+	<pre>
		+
		+	PD1title
		+	PD1info
		+
		+	PD2title
		+	PD2info
		+
		+	PD3title
		+	PD3info
		+
		+	AF1title
		+	AF1info
		+
		+	AF2title
		+	AF2info
		+
		+	AF3title
		+	AF3info
		+
		+	ID1title
		+	ID1info
		+
		+	ID2title
		+	ID2info
		+
		+	ID3title
		+	ID3info
		+
		+	</pre>
		+
		+
		+	If it warrants it, I can see a ''Team Template'' as something that will probably be built in the future. I am OK with using this one template for now. Let's try it for awhile, and see if the need is strong enough for doing a team one. Or maybe, given its dynamics and flexibility, this template needs a different name.
