ৱিকিপিডিয়া:WikiProject Persondata

Welcome to WikiProject Persondata. Some Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's use of Persondata, a hidden template used to store biographical information as metadata. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.

What is Persondata?

One of the first things you may think about when stumbling across this page is 'What is Persondata?' Well, you can see Wikipedia:Persondata for in-depth explanations, but Persondata is basically metadata which is added to the bottom of biographical articles. It's important for Wikipedia maintenance and the possibility of a Wikipedia comprehensive CD-ROM. As of July 17, 2011, the English Wikipedia has approximately 802,000 articles with Persondata.

Important: To view Persondata, you must tinker with your account settings:

1. Go to Special:Mypage/skin.css (this will bring up the custom CSS page for whichever skin you are using.)
2. Copy-paste the following into your skin.css: table.persondata {display:table !important;}. If you are using Internet Explorer 7 or earlier, copy and paste this variation instead: table.persondata {display:block;}.
3. Save the page and bypass your browser's cache. This can be achieved in Internet Explorer by pressing Ctrl+F5.

News

1 August 2011: Many persondata templates do not have names or descriptions. These are now tracked at Category:Persondata templates without name parameter and Category:Persondata templates without short description parameter.

18 December 2007: A list of biographies has been constructed, and can be found at /List of biographies. Be aware that this list includes articles which already have persondata, and also biographical articles about groups of people (e.g. bands) which should not be given persondata.

Goals

• To tag every biography with {{Persondata}}.

87.8% completed

• To make adding Persondata to a biography as commonplace as adding an infobox.
• To ensure that all existing persondata is filled out with descriptions, birth dates/places and death dates/places.
  • Fill out all the articles in Category:Persondata templates without name parameter.
  • Fill out all the articles in Category:Persondata templates without short description parameter.

Scope

This project covers every biography on Wikipedia.

Guidelines

প্ৰধান পৃষ্ঠা: Wikipedia:Persondata

The persondata template should be appended to each article between the end of the main body and the start of the categories (or, if present, before the DEFAULTSORT template). The template fields should be filled in where they apply. Where they do not, the field should be left blank, but not deleted. For example, in the case of a living person:

{{Persondata <!-- Metadata: see [[Wikipedia:Persondata]]. -->
| NAME              = Smillie, Carol
| ALTERNATIVE NAMES = 
| SHORT DESCRIPTION = Scottish television presenter
| DATE OF BIRTH     = 23 December 1961
| PLACE OF BIRTH    = [[Glasgow]], [[Scotland]]
| DATE OF DEATH     = 
| PLACE OF DEATH    = 
}}

The name entries take the form Surname, Forename(s), Title. If more than one name is being listed (in the ALTERNATIVE NAMES field) they should be separated by a semi-colon. The wikilinks in the fields are not mandatory, but may perform a useful purpose in the future.
