Hi all!

My first question concerns my personal page that I plan to set up. My issue is that I don't know whether to pick the "Fan" template or the "Person" one. Though I have a solid fannish activity (mostly in vidding) I am also a PhD student in film and media studies, and some of my previous work kind of involved fandom. And part of my thesis will also be related to that. So, any tip on which one to pick?

My second one is that I would be willing to write a few fandom pages for French movies and TV shows (most of them contemporary) that I already vidded or plan to. One of the TV shows at least, Les Bleus, Premiers Pas Dans La Police is still airing). May I go ahead when I have some free time?

Thanks by advance for all your answers!

The problem that more than one info-box template would fit arises all the time (like writers who are fans but also have fandoms etc), there are no rules about this, you just pick the one where the fields seem to fit best for what you want to say about a person, I guess. You can always add categories anyway, outside the ones attached to templates. But that is the regular wiki pages.

You can of course start a wiki page in the main article space about yourself if you want, but that would not be a personal profile in the sense that you have control over the content. So in that sense those are not "personal pages". The user profile you have as a contributor however is a personal profile page where you introduce/describe yourself as wiki contributing fan.

I didn't know which page you meant when you said "personal page". The one in the main wiki space that anyone edits, or your own user profile.
