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

Related pages can cover any subject connected to a profile: a project, location, recurring topic, event, background information, or another relevant subject. Incident reports are one possible use. 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.

# Open a profile's '''Related pages''' tab, or choose [[Special:CreatePage|Create a page]] in the sidebar and select '''Related page'''.

# ~~Choose~~ '''~~Incident report~~''', '''~~Research notes~~'''~~, or~~ '''~~Related article~~'''.

# Select the related profile and enter just the topic's title, without the person's name or slashes.

~~# Enter just the report or topic title, without the person's name or any slashes~~.

# Leave the format as '''Related page''' for a general article. '''Incident report''' and '''Research notes''' are optional starters.

# Choose '''~~Continue to editor~~'''. ~~Complete the starter sections~~, add sources, ~~preview~~, and save.

# Choose '''Start editing'''. Write an introduction, add any headings that suit your topic, and cite sources.

# Preview the page, enter an edit summary, and save.

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

General related pages do not require report sections. The visual editor provides normal formatting, headings, links, images, and citations. '''Use source editor''' is available if you prefer wikitext. Nothing is published until you save in the editor. Confirmed editors can create pages; normal page protection applies.

! Format !! Saved page name

| ~~Incident report~~ || <code>Person/~~Incidents/Report title~~</code>

| Related page (default) || <code>Person/Topic</code>

| Incident report (optional) || <code>Person/Incidents/Report title</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.

The directory finds related pages automatically. Each subpage links back to its profile. Categories are added 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.

Open [[Special:CreatePage|Create a page]], choose '''Person profile''', enter the person's name, and choose '''Start editing'''. The starter adds <nowiki>[[Category:Profiles]]</nowiki> for you. 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.

Choose an article's '''Timeline''' tab, then '''Add event'''. Enter a title and description, and use the year, month, and day fields for as much of the date as you know. Leave all three blank for an unknown date. The description has a compact visual editor with bold, italic, links, and lists. Use the toolbar or the usual keyboard shortcuts; no wiki markup is needed. Advanced editors can switch to Source. '''Preview''' lets you check the result without saving.

Use '''Add another source''' to attach multiple source links to the same event (up to 20). Each link can be removed separately, and duplicate links are removed automatically. Existing single-source events keep their links when edited.

Choose '''Edit''' beside an event to update it. '''More''' contains '''Move to trash'''; '''Undo''' brings it back immediately, and the '''Trash''' view lets you restore it later. Confirmed editors can edit and restore events. Administrators manage event locks. Use the search and order controls to find events in longer timelines.
