Protection

Perhaps semi or full protection would be in order for this template, no?--12 Noon ^2¢ 21:15, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Need more templates

This is not a good general purpose biography article template (if such a thing even exists). Maybe there should be several templates, tailored to different types of subjects? WCCasey (talk) 22:46, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Hatnote without a valid link

This is a hatnote without a valid link. Someone should correct it or remove it.

Recent edits to docpage

It looks as though over the past couple of weeks, an editor has replaced Template:Biography/doc with an actual biography (possibly their own, judging by their username). I'm guessing the docpage should probably be reverted to its original state, but I wasn't sure what should happen to the current content - should it just be deleted, or userfied, or something else.

Published Works

Use of Charles Darwin as an example for this section has caused some disagreements and misunderstandings as to what kind of information should be included in a "Published Works" section (see Talk:Jane Philpott ). Darwin is somewhat exceptional and it may not be appropriate to apply that example to other types of subjects. Other possible examples could be Chrystia Freeland or (for a more extensive example) Jane Francis. I propose adding these examples to show the variety of published works descriptions and formats that might be included in such a section. It might be beneficial if other editors could suggest additional examples of good practice in this area. If there are no alternatives or objections in the next week I will add these examples myself.

I am not happy with the "published" page. Please take it away and I will try and add a more proper one. I also want to put some photos - how do I do that? Thank you beforehand! TW Teresa Wennberg (talk) 08:40, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

My boss wants me to create a biography for her and I came across this template, how do I use it? Shaharaal (talk) 15:30, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello Shaharaal, you do not need to use this template at all, but you can write {{subst:Biography}} in your sandbox. You can also write a draft using the Wikipedia:Article wizard but first you will have to read over this document carefully: Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Don't forget to disclose your conflict of interest on your userpage. – Þjarkur (talk) 17:50, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi I wish to write a biography for the international award winning WILDLIFE photographer David Bailey Missjonesagain (talk) 08:42, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

​You can use the WP:Article Wizard to do so, but it might be good to read over the conflict of interest guidelines and the general notability guidelines. – Þjarkur (talk) 09:55, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
