Help:Application expert example page

Minimal application expert user page. Copy and edit to suit your needs. See Template:application expert info for details.

It is probably best to upload the image first, so make sure that mediawiki likes your filename.

In the application expert info template, all the parameters are named, and can be given in any order. office, phone and other activities are optional, all others are required. The template will protest loudly in bold red if required information is missing. If you do not wish to provide a certain piece of required information: do not use this template. Or else you will corrupt the database with incorrect information. In theory, you could abstain from uploading and setting image, but then you will be depicted as a soulless automaton, and a somewhat chubby one at that.

phone should be a semicolon separated list of telephone numbers (with optional explanation), office should be a semicolon separated list of visiting address lines, and other activities should be a semicolon separated list of minimal explanations of things that may steal you away from your pure application expertry at a regular basis, like part time employments, parental leave, special functions like AE/PRACE/etc coordination, or other distractions of that kind. Why semicolon you ask? Because people like to use commas for other things than input field separation. For further reading, see rationales on Property:Office, Property:Phone and Property:Other activities. Note that it is currently not possible to put links in properties of Type:String, such as other activities.

List one or more expertises using the [[expertise::Python]] notation. Expertises may be software, programming languages, protocols, algorithms, methods, laboratory techniques, or anything else entirely, and may or may not be related to your research area. See Property:Expertise for a list of what other people claim to do well. Does any of that apply to you? Slap it onto your page. If you create new expertise, you should probably create the page that it points to, and add at least a little bit of information to it. A red expertise does not look nice on your rap sheet.

Remember to create your talk page (Discussion), and add something inviting so that people will feel encouraged to talk to you, or just rip off someone else who said something nice. Remember that your talk page will likely be your primary form of contact for members of the general public who chance upon the wiki.

Note that we do not promote providing your direct email address here, and especially not using email type properties (e.g: [[email::user@server.net]], do not use!), because no obfuscation is applied, and email addresses advertised in this manner are easily harvested by bots using the semantic mediawiki search interfaces.

first name and last name are concatenated into name, but since this information is already encoded into the user name (which already has the benefit of being a link to the user page), none of these properties are really used for anything clever just yet. The one benefit we currently see is that one could potentially be able to sort dynamically generated tables based on last names, but that is just not worth the layout cost of littering those tables with an additional redundant column. However, as layouts and names may change in the future, we decided to get in early and make sure people fill it in correctly from the start anyway.
