==Data Columns== | |||
AutoBio, like most related article generation programs, works by reading a CSV spreadsheet file with the data it uses in a table. | |||
The current columns are: | |||
*FULLNAME -- fully presented name | |||
*NAME -- personal name, usually first name or nickname | |||
*LAST -- last name | |||
*USE_FULL -- if Y: article name should be fully presented name, otherwise NAME and LAST will be used | |||
*GENDER -- not actually used at the moment but this may change. M, F, or blank. | |||
*DOB -- Month and/or year of birth, if known. May need to enter with an apostrophe -- such as 'April 1930 -- to get your spreadsheet to cooperate | |||
*DOD -- Month and/or year of when we lost them, if known and applicable. May need to enter with an apostrophe -- such as 'November 2000 | |||
*AGE -- not actually used right now, and not applicable for people who are still alive | |||
*MASTER LABEL -- candidate, candidate and activist, state chair, et c.; special handling if it's simply 'candidate' -- other special handling is pending. | |||
*SUMMARY -- A second paragraph. Ideally for stuff that isn't asked for elsewhere in the spreadsheet. | |||
*ORG POS -- organizational positions and when, separated by semicolons. such as: | |||
:Chair, Libertarian Party of Michigan, 1973;Vice Chair, Libertarian Party of Michigan, c. 1975;Chair, Libertarian Party of Michigan, 1975 - 1978 | |||
*DELEGATE -- delegate to what and when -- not actually used right now but would be easy to implement, otherwise I may depreciate it. | |||
*WORK -- this one gets slightly complicated. | |||
:Type of work,work and year;type of second work,name of work and year | |||
:Actually, I don't have any special handling for different works. So if it's paintings, books, articles, manuals, conferences, or symphonies it's all processed the same. Whatever the name of the type of work -- possibly with a pluralizing s appended to it -- is the header in the generated article. It's very open-ended and could probably be easily gamed to include other non-work topics. | |||
*CANDIDACIES -- offices they've run for and when, separated by semicolons such as: | |||
:U.S. Senate, North Dakota, 1974 (Independent);U.S. Senate, North Dakota, 1988 | |||
*PUB OFFICES -- public offices held with dates if known, separated by semicolons. | |||
*AFFILIATION -- organizational affiliations. Not presently used as everyone here would be 'libertarian' almost by definition (actually this won't be true if I stop exclusively picking people who are to feed into it). This won't be the case when I use this with other wikis, though | |||
*PROJECTS -- not used and I can't actually remember what this is here for. Possibly vestigial at this point. | |||
*LINKS -- links in he form of URL,description, separated by semicolons. | |||
*IMAGE -- name of image, if any. Image must be uploaded separately. | |||
*TALK -- add this to the talk page, in the format of heading,discussion, separated by semicolons for multiple topics. For example: | |||
:Question,Is this the same Kenneth Garber who's Director of Marketing for [[Cato]]? | |||
*QUOTES -- quotes attributed to this person, separated by semicolons. may need a solution for when the quote includes a semicolon... | |||
*REDIRECTS -- forms of this person's name that won't be automatically guessed by AutoBio | |||
