- "photo" should be a link to the subject's photo uploaded to the wiki if any is available.
- "photocaption" usually shows the name of the subject, possibly also a brief description of the date and/or location where the photo was taken.
- "title" is the subject's "preferred title". In this field, note the title the subject prefers to be referred to by. This might be an alternate title based on the persona's culture and time period, for example. "Unknown" is fine, if not known.
- "pronouns" For example, "she, her, hers", "he, him, his", "they, them, their", etc. "Unknown" is fine, if not known.
- "location" is where the subject lives (or had last lived), if known. "Unknown" is fine, if not known.
- "status" indicates whether the subject is currently active, inactive, deceased, etc. "Unknown" is fine, if not known.
- "device" is a link to an image of the subjects heraldry which has been uploaded to the wiki, if any exists.
- "devicecaption" typically is the official blazon of the heraldry as registered by the College of Arms of the Society.
The in the code "[[Category:+ Populace »]]" below, replace "»" with the
capitalized first initial of the person's name. If the name starts with an accented letter, replace "»" with the unaccented letter (e.g. names starting in "Á" should use the subcategory "[[Category:+ Populace A]]"). If the name starts with "Æ", subcategorize it as "A". If the name starts with "Þ", subcategorize it as "T". This will help users navigate through the expansive Populace category.
