Vv: Add profile-subpage organization and editing guide

2026-10-28T20:35:52Z

Add profile-subpage organization and editing guide

New page

Keep reports and background articles under the profile they concern. Each page has its own edit history and discussion page.

== Create a related page ==
# Open a profile and choose the '''Related pages''' tab. On mobile, use the '''Related pages''' link below the title.
# Choose '''Incident report''', '''Research notes''', or '''Related article'''.
# Enter just the report or topic title, without the person's name or any slashes.
# Choose '''Continue to editor'''. Complete the starter sections, add sources, preview, and save.

Nothing is published until you save in the editor. Confirmed editors can create pages; normal page protection applies.

== How pages are organized ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Page type !! Saved page name
|-
| Incident report || <code>Person/Incidents/Report title</code>
|-
| Research notes || <code>Person/Research/Topic</code>
|-
| Related article || <code>Person/Topic</code>
|}
The directory groups saved pages automatically. Each subpage displays its type and a link back to the profile. Categories are added automatically from the page's location. Use the normal '''Move''' tool to rename a page or change its location; the directory follows its new name.

== Add another profile ==
Create a top-level article for the person and add <nowiki>[[Category:Profiles]]</nowiki>. This enables the profile's Related pages tool. The main page is a directory and cannot be a profile.

== Timelines ==
A profile's timeline remains at <code>Person/Timeline</code>. Timelines are separate from the related-page directory. Articles and incident reports can have their own timelines too. The main page cannot have a timeline.
