Help:Profile subpages

Revision as of 21:36, 28 October 2026 by Vv (talk | contribs) (1 revision imported: Add profile subpage guide and automatic organization categories)

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

  1. Open a profile and choose the Related pages tab. On mobile, use the Related pages link below the title.
  2. Choose Incident report, Research notes, or Related article.
  3. Enter just the report or topic title, without the person's name or any slashes.
  4. 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

Page type Saved page name
Incident report Person/Incidents/Report title
Research notes Person/Research/Topic
Related article Person/Topic

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 [[Category:Profiles]]. 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 Person/Timeline. 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.
