I'm looking to add a section to the Style Guide about creating people pages. I've looked at pages you've already done as a starting point with regards to headings.

Background

(sub heading) Biography

Use one or two paragraphs. Info to include here would be things like place and time of birth. Early life and how they started their career.

(sub heading) Personal Life

Information about current events and news about this person would go here.

Filmography

List their Film and TV work here (oldest first, newest last). Make the Film/TV title link to the corresponding Film or TV page (assuming it currently exists in the Wiki).

Maybe we could suggest an optional third section titled "Trivia & Quotes"

Trivia & Quotes

Do not include quotes from or trivia about a character they have performed here. A suitable quote for this section might be something notable they said in an interview or press conference. Trivia may include things such as -roles they were offered but they turned down, -activities or interests they have outside of showbusiness, -appearances at conventions etc.

Does this seem suitable to you? If so, I'll update the Style Guide accordingly.

I was also thinking of setting up a page that contains "Layout Templates" for each page type. So for example, the Film one would include its infobox, and all its headings laid out correctly. This is something users can copy/paste into the "Source Mode" of a new page. This "Layout Templates" page would also be linked in the nav bar under Wiki Tools.

What do you think?
