Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible)
- Description
- The above template displays a mini-biography assembling birth, marriage (one or two), and death facts from data stored with the person's page. Similar to the little stories produced by commercial programs, such as Family Tree Maker's "Genealogy Report" and WorldConnect's "Register".
- Syntax
- Type or paste {{Biography}} under the "Biography" heading or elsewhere on an individual's page. The page needs to have data stored as "facts" under SMW or an info page.
- Tip
- If you use {{subst:Biography}} instead of {{Biography}}, you can edit the text (after saving and re-opening the page). BUT THE CODING IS HORRIBLE. As Phlox rightly pointed out, we don't want to leave much of that sort of thing for later potential contributors to see. See the template's talk page for ideas about more friendly ways of making the template partly editable.
- Notes
- See also {{showfacts biography}}
- Now that we have ways of storing data in extractable ways, there is scope for many more templates of this sort.
