Difference between revisions of "Maintaining Who's Who Pages"

Revision as of 05:45, 14 July 2013

Each member of the Tower on TarValon.Net has a personal Who's Who page that tells many things about who they are. This page is designed to help Tower Historians and other library editors create and maintain Who's Who pages.

Note: Although there is a merit section on every Who's Who page, do not edit any of it unless you are a Merit Minion!

Membership

This section tells how to create pages and how to maintain the sections that relate to the member's rank, group affiliation, and bonds (if any). Most of this information is taken from Maintenance (Histories).

Roles/Jobs

Some members of the site have jobs, like Tower Historian, Sitter, TVT Staff, or others. Here's how you add that information to their Who's Who page.

Sitters and Warder Councillors

Sitters and Warder Councillors rotate every 6 months. There are two terms each year: Spring 2013 and Fall 2013 (insert the appropriate year). Spring term runs from January 1 to June 30, and Fall term runs from July 1 to December 31. If a person serves several consecutive terms (for example, from January 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010), you would list three dates for their service: Spring 2009, Fall 2009, and Spring 2010.

Becoming a Sitter or Warder Councillor

When a person becomes a Sitter or Warder Councillor, there are several pages to update:

• The person's actual profile page:
  • Under "Tower Involvement: Current" add *{{sitter}} for the {{green2}}: Spring 2013, inserting {{sitter}} or {{wc}}, the person's appropriate group affiliation template and the term they're serving.
  • Add the category [[Category:Current Hall]] to the bottom of their profile.
  • Add the category [[Category:Current Staff]] to the bottom of their profile.
• Add the person's name at Hall of Sitters and Warder Council under the appropriate term and group affiliation. If the term's heading hasn't been created yet, create it.
• Add the person's name to Current Positions: Hall of the Tower under their appropriate group affiliation
• Go to the Administrative and Staff Positions category and click on the appropriate list (for example, if the person served in the Hall in 2013, then click on Administrative and Staff Positions in 2013). Then list them under Hall of the Tower.
• Go to Hall of Sitters and Warder Council (Time Served). Add the person's name (if it's not already there) and fill in the rest of their row of the table as appropriate. If you do not feel comfortable editing a wiki table, then email the Director of Research and Records and the Tower Historians and tell them what information needs to be updated. Then one of them will update the table.

Finishing service as a Sitter or Warder Councillor

When a person finishes their term as a Sitter or Warder Councillor or steps down from that position, there are several pages to update:

• The person's actual profile page:
  • Move *{{sitter}} for the {{green2}}: Spring 2013 or the equivalent line from "Tower Involvement: Current" to "Tower Involvement: Previous"
  • If the person has served several terms as a Sitter or Warder Councillor, then create a bulleted list of when they served. Here's an example. If the person served a partial term then list the specific dates they served.
  • Remove the category [[Category:Current Hall]] from the bottom of their profile.
  • Remove the category [[Category:Current Staff]] from the bottom of their profile (unless they are currently serving in another staff position).
• Remove the person's name from Current Positions: Hall of the Tower.
• Go to Hall of Sitters and Warder Council (Time Served). Go to the person's row and change "Current" from "Yes" to "No." If you do not feel comfortable editing a wiki table, then email the Director of Research and Records and the Tower Historians and tell them what information needs to be updated. Then one of them will update the table.

Hearts and Honor Guards

Hearts and Honor Guards generally rotate every 6 months with the changing of the Hall, though this depends on the policies of each Ajah or Company.

Becoming a Heart or Honor Guard

When a person becomes a Heart or Honor Guard, there are several pages to update:

• The person's actual profile page:
  • Under "Tower Involvement: Current" add *{{heart}} for the {{green2}}: Spring 2013, inserting {{heart}} or {{HG}}, the person's appropriate group affiliation template, and the date they started serving (Example: "January 1, 2013 - present").
  • Add the category [[Category:Current Membership]] to the bottom of their profile.
  • Add the category [[Category:Current Staff]] to the bottom of their profile.
• Add the person's name to the Heart or Honor Guards page with the appropriate date and under their group affiliation heading.
• Add the person's name to Current Positions: Community Groups under their appropriate group affiliation.
• Go to the Administrative and Staff Positions category and click on the appropriate list (for example, if the person served in 2013, then click on Administrative and Staff Positions in 2013). Then list them under Community Groups.
• Go to Staff Positions (Time Served). Add the person's name (if it's not already there) and fill in the rest of their row of the table as appropriate. If you do not feel comfortable editing a wiki table, then email the Director of Research and Records and the Tower Historians and tell them what information needs to be updated. Then one of them will update the table.

Finishing service as a Heart or Honor Guard

When a person finishes their term as a Heart or Honor Guard or steps down from that position, there are several pages to update:

• The person's actual profile page:
  • Move *{{heart}} for the {{green2}}: Spring 2013 or the equivalent line from "Tower Involvement: Current" to "Tower Involvement: Previous"
  • If the person has served several terms as a Heart or Honor Guard, then create a bulleted list of the dates that they served. Here's an example.
  • Remove the category [[Category:Current Membership]] from the bottom of their profile (unless they are continuing to serve in another Department of Membership position).
  • Remove the category [[Category:Current Staff]] from the bottom of their profile (unless they are currently serving in another staff position).
• Remove the person's name from Current Positions: Community Groups.
• Enter the end date of their service as a Heart or Honor Guard on the Heart or Honor Guards page.
• Go to the Administrative and Staff Positions category and click on the appropriate list (for example, if the person served in 2013, then click on Administrative and Staff Positions in 2013). Then add the end date of their service as a Heart or Honor Guard.
• Go to Staff Positions (Time Served). Go to the person's row and change "Current" from "Yes" to "No." If you do not feel comfortable editing a wiki table, then email the Director of Research and Records and the Tower Historians and tell them what information needs to be updated. Then one of them will update the table.

A Note: Other Tower Relationships

Many of our members have relationships with other members beyond that of bondmates or mentor/mentees. For any non-Tower relationship, we should only put it on the page with the permission of the member. These are the relationships that may be stated on a Who's Who page:

• First-siblings
• Spouses: If the spouses met on TarValon.Net, then use the template {{married}}. For example, "*{{married}} to [[name]]". If the couple met on TarValon.Net and are engaged, then use {{engaged}} in the same way. Then add the couple's name to the Tower Marriages page. If the couple did not actually meet each other on TarValon.Net, then do not use {{married}}, {{engaged}}, or add them to the Tower Marriages page, even if they are both members of the site.
• Family relations (sibing, parent/child, cousin, etc)
