This symbol represents the Person theme on HopperWiki.

This page summarizes the available content mangement templates in the Person theme on HopperWiki. The section below contains a quick reference for easily copying and pasting these special templates whose role is to efficiently insert dynamically-updated content among human-entered prose on Person pages. In a nutshell, these templates use parameters to query HopperWiki's Person database and then display any relevant records that are available at the spot in the page where you place the template. Use the pasteable, formatted text below on the page of your choice, or you can click the links below for more details on using these templates (including parameters that can be used to modify their behavior). If you're unfamiliar with using what MediaWiki refers to as templates it might be useful to read this introduction.

Quick reference for available templates

General content creation

  • {{Person biography}}: Calls the biography function to fetch the biography text for a focal page with no header Learn more here.
  • {{Person biography header}}: Calls the biography function to fetch the biography text for a focal page and includes a wiki header Learn more here.
  • {{Person gallery}}: Generates a simple gallery of people based on a comma-delimited list of full names Learn more here.
  • {{Person bio box}}: Generates a box with a person's photo and biography if they are available Learn more here.
  • {{User bio}}: This function is deprecated and should no longer be used. For historic reasons it is kept in place. This template also calls the biography function and is redundant with the above template. This version is used on pages that were not individual person pages (like the GLI network expert identifiers) to fetch the biography text for a focal page. We could remove this function later and make all pages use Template:Person biography. Learn more here.
