	I added a bunch of optional variables to this template. It shouldn't throw anything off where it's already being used, it should just make it easier for us to categorize images. Also, our old images don't need to be changed, this is just for future use, I suppose. I included code to for character, episode, and graphic novel categories. To make it work, simply type the character, episode, or gn name, then an equal sign, then anything ("true" works, but so does "mellifluous" or "goat cheese"). For instance, if you have an image of D.L. from ''Genesis'' (I know, impossible, ha!), then type:<pre>{{image-screenshot\|D.L. Hawkins=true\|Genesis=true}}</pre> I also included variations on names. So, for instance, typing <pre>{{image-screenshot\|D.L. Hawkins=true}}</pre> or <pre>{{image-screenshot\|D.L.=true}}</pre> or <pre>{{image-screenshot\|DL=true}}</pre> will all yield [[:Category:Images of D.L. Hawkins]].
