Creating new people pages

I'm not sure this is the "approved" method of creating new pages in the "people" category, but I'm documenting my process here with the hope of saving others the time I spent getting it to work. If there is a better way to do this, please update this procedure.

  1. Open an existing "people" entry and edit/view the source.
  2. Copy the {{Infobox ... }} and [[Category:People]] tags.
  3. Use the PinWiki "Search" box to search for the name of the person you want to add. Be sure to capitalize correctly.
  4. Click on the red link in the "not found" message to create the new page.
  5. Paste the tags from above into the new page.
  6. Add your text below these tags using standard wiki tags as needed.
  7. Preview/Save as usual
