I created a custom column, in Calibre. Custom column name. Needs to be labeled in personal.ini. What's the code to do this? The label / name and any other lines of code needed?

I'm not sure what you mean, but I think you assume a greater degree of FFF-Calibre integration than exists.

I refer to the data FFF collects and handles as "metadata entries", which are separate from Calibre data, AKA columns. Simplifying a bit, FFF metadata entries are divided into 'standard' entries collected for most/all sites and 'site specific' entries that are only used by that site. For example, every site has title and author; snapeflavours is potionsandsnitches.org only.

If you want FFF to populate a Calibre custom column on download/update, you can set it in the FFF Custom Columns config tab (for standard metadata entries) in personal.ini with custom_columns_settings.

If you want a Calibre custom column to appear in your ebooks' title page on update (it's assumed the Calibre book is created during initial download), there's a checkbox in the FFF personal.ini config tab 'Pass Calibre Columns into FanFicFare on Update/Overwrite', and a button to show you want what FFF metadata entry names each column will be placed in. They will automatically be labeled the same as the Calibre Columns.

You can then used those metadata entry names in titlepage_entries or logpage_entries.

Where would I look to find this information? Is there a wiki or FAQ I've missed? Any central location with links to the many resources designed to learn the basics of formatting custom columns in Calibre/FFF? Feels like I'm just missing a link tree or something similar.

The FFF github project has a wiki which also has an FAQ.

A lot of INI settings are documented primarily in defaults.ini. You can see the defaults.ini for FFF Calibre plugin from the button on the FFF personal.ini config tab , or on github.
