It's also probably worth noting that Template calls, like other Wiki code that isn't displayed on the output page, aren't typically considered "content" — the transclusion itself is sufficient attribution, for the template authors. Which means (for example) if you copy the template call from one Character page to another, then edit all of the template data to match the new character, you've rewritten the content and so you don't need to credit the page you used as your starting point.
