The P2P Foundation keeps a database of biographical entries in the "Bios" category at [[:Category:Bios]].
==Getting Started==
Take a look at some of the entries in the "Bios" category: [[:Category:Bios]], to get some idea of what the normal practice is on this wiki.
* [[Joy Tang]] is an example of a simple entry.
* [[Silke Helfrich]] is an example of an extended entry.


Feel free to peruse the pages in this category to see examples of biographical entries and to gather ideas for your own.
==Points to note==
* As a page name, please use "FirstName LastName" to fit in with all the other entries.
* At the beginning of the page, put a "tagline" indicating the significance of this person in the context of P2P.
* If the person has bio pages elsewhere, put in a line (or more) starting with "URL =" or "URLs =" with links to those other sites.
* Then use the subheading "Bio" for the biographical note.
* Continue with optional extra subheadings.
* Finish with the subheading "More Information", perhaps listing other pages on this wiki that have the person's name in the title, or other pages with a strong and particular connection with the person.
* Put <pre>[[Category:Bios]]</pre> at the end of the page, with any other categories representing fields that the person is a significant contributor to.


When you create a page please use the format "First Name Last Name" to match the formatting of the rest of the entries.

The easiest way to create an entry is to use this form:
Here's a simple template:


<createarticle>

type=createarticle
preload=Template:Bios
buttonlabel=Create a New Bio Entry
align=left
default=First Last
</createarticle>


The template for biographical entries is located at: [[Template:Bios]]

Points to note

  • As a page name, please use "FirstName LastName" to fit in with all the other entries.
  • At the beginning of the page, put a "tagline" indicating the significance of this person in the context of P2P.
  • If the person has bio pages elsewhere, put in a line (or more) starting with "URL =" or "URLs =" with links to those other sites.
  • Then use the subheading "Bio" for the biographical note.
  • Continue with optional extra subheadings.
  • Finish with the subheading "More Information", perhaps listing other pages on this wiki that have the person's name in the title, or other pages with a strong and particular connection with the person.
  • Put 
    [[Category:Bios]]
    at the end of the page, with any other categories representing fields that the person is a significant contributor to.

Here's a simple template:
