Portal talk:San Francisco Bay Area/Selected biography/Archive

This is the list of all biography articles that have separate pages, so the whole list can be viewed at once. to select an article to add, it should be at least B class, and of Mid Importance to the SFBA task force.

Click on the first redlink below (current example is "8"), and create the page with the following text:

[[File:FILE NAME|right|200px]] '''[[ARTICLE NAME|NAME AT TOP OF ARTICLE (IF DIFFERENT FROM ARTICLE NAME)]]''' [[ARTICLE NAME|'''(more...)''']] [[Category:San Francisco Bay Area portal selected biography pages]]

Fill in with your chosen article's current version's first 1 or 2 paragraphs between the two "article name" sections above (with the article name replacing ARTICLE NAME), stripping out all references. adjust the image size as appropriate. Then, increase the parameter by +1 at Portal:San Francisco Bay Area, at the wikimarkup code:

{{Random portal component|max=9|header=Selected biography|footer=<small><small>| subpage=Selected biography}}

This means the above sample would go from 8 to 9. if you make the parameter too large, you get a blank space where an article and image should be.

Then, copy the newly created subpages contents, minus the category, to this pages section for it. This duplicates the content, so any further editing must be done twice, but it also makes it easy to edit this page in general.
