This tutorial aims to help users create pages for the populace of An Tir. It is not an official nor mandatory guideline; it is here to help provide a starting point and ideas. It may also be used to help create other pages in this wiki.
What is a People Page?
A People Page is a wiki page featuring a member of the An Tir populace, and may be part of the People category. It provides information about that member, which may include:
- Persona background and history
- SCA history
- SCA awards and positions
- Alternate persona names and pronunciation
- Picture(s) of the member
- Heraldry of that member
The content of a page may include more or less than this; it depends on what information is available and the member is comfortable with sharing with the public. When adding or editing information on a page that is not about your own membership, strive to a) see if the information is already public knowledge (e.g., posted on an official SCA website, shared by the individual on a public mailing site, etc.) and b) obtain permission from the individual to do so. If adding or editing information for another, be ready and willing to remove or change what you have put forth if the member is uncomfortable.
A people page is not intended for:
- Events (see the Event Page Tutorial)
- Territories, such as baronies
- Jargon (see Glossary)
- "Keepers" postings from SCA mailing lists
While appropriate for this site, the structure of a People Page may not provide the best format. Please see the How Things Work Around Here for further information of appropriate content for the overall wiki.
