Document standalone page types and community-related pages

New page

Use [[Special:CreatePage|Create a page]] to choose a page type. Each standalone page gets its own title, discussion page, edit history, and timeline. You do not need to attach it to a person.

== Standalone pages ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Type !! Use it for !! Browse
|-
| Person profile || A person || [[Special:BrowsePages/profile|People]]
|-
| Community || A community, fandom, forum, or informal group || [[Special:BrowsePages/community|Communities]]
|-
| Organization || An organization, company, or organized group || [[Special:BrowsePages/organization|Organizations]]
|-
| Website or project || A website, channel, publication, or ongoing project || [[Special:BrowsePages/project|Websites and projects]]
|-
| Event || An event involving one or several subjects || [[Special:BrowsePages/event|Events]]
|-
| Place || A location or venue relevant to the wiki || [[Special:BrowsePages/place|Places]]
|-
| General article || Any other subject that deserves its own page || [[Special:BrowsePages/general|General articles]]
|}
Enter the subject's name, then choose '''Start editing''' or '''Use source editor'''. Review the starter, write a sourced introduction, and remove unused headings. Nothing is published until you save in the editor.

The starter adds the matching category. Keep that category so the page appears under its type in [[Special:BrowsePages|Browse pages]]. Only pages in [[:Category:Profiles]] appear in the homepage's recently updated people list.

== Related pages ==
Use a '''Related page''' when a topic belongs under an existing person, community, organization, project, event, place, or general article. Choose the '''Related subject''' and enter only the topic's title. For example, a community's topic is saved as <code>Community name/Topic</code>.

'''Incident report''' and '''Research notes''' provide optional starter formats. They are saved as <code>Subject/Incidents/Title</code> and <code>Subject/Research/Title</code>. General related pages can use any structure that suits the topic.

Open a subject's '''Related pages''' tab to find or create its subpages. Each subpage links back to its parent. A community that is relevant to several people should generally have its own standalone page, with links to those people, rather than being placed under just one person.

== Timelines ==
The editor includes a '''Timeline''' section automatically. After publishing, use '''Add the first event''' or the '''Timeline''' tab. Events are stored separately in the page's protected <code>/Timeline</code> subpage. Removing the placement section from an article does not delete its events; saving restores the section. The main page is excluded.
