Help:Model page for person
From Genealogy
This page provides a "fast link" to page creation for person articles (not place or family articles).
Type the person's name and date(s) in the box below and hit the "Create" button.
- Please use the form "First-name Middle-if-known Last-name (YOB-YOD)", with no spaces between dates; use "c", "bef", "aft", or "?" to condition the dates, also without spaces.
- For example: Johan Eriksson (bef1660-?) of Västby; or Thomas Strong (1798-c1850).
- See Genealogy:Page names for the full page-name policy.
- If you are new to this site and/or are looking for other page creation methods, you may check the guidance page for additional information on page creation, including information on page name conventions, as well as information on other methods of creating articles.
- Any article created with the above inputbox or one of our other suggested templates can be modified to meet specific needs. If you find yourself having to modify many articles to meet your requirements, consider creating a template of your own. (Check Forum:Help desk for help with this if you wish).
