::Actually, a lot more fundamental than that: while the existing infobox_person had a reference to 'residence' in the definition list, it didn't have a 'residence' variable within the actual template itself - simply an oversight from the original author. I just had to add a residence variable, along with contact/reference variables for the semantic tags. The template itself is the first place one should look if Directory pages aren't rendering properly. [[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 07:16, 4 December 2006 (PST)

:::This is a reflection on my continued inadequate understanding of the details of constructing and checking on Infoboxes in their original code. I'm going to really have to spend some time learning more. Either that, or just give up the technical stuff to the experts and start working on promotion/marketing . . . more in my skill set. --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 08:32, 4 December 2006 (PST)
It's going to be easier to see when you've made a comment to me if you direct them to [[User_talk:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz talk page]], rather than the one at Directory_talk:Gregory J. Kohs. I'm always signed in under the MyWikiBiz account, so that will signal me when I have new messages. --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 18:19, 3 December 2006 (PST)

:It might be helpful to take an extra moment to see if you can resolve some of these questions first eg template-residence, ASK-person, et al. ASK was searching on company_name instead of person_*_name, as well as city instead of birth_city, etc. The key to most problems is in the details - this is true not only of semantic tags, but templating.

::Again, my ignorance of the detailed architecture gives way to "run crying to Karl" when confused. I will try to get more accustomed to these devilish details. My query, though, does bring us to an interesting point -- do you think that our NAICS Portal ASK framework should be expanded to include things like People? And (ignorance again), is such multi-referencing possible within ASK? (I'll predict that the answer is "yes".) --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 08:32, 4 December 2006 (PST)
Is there any way to get the links on [[Special:Specialpages]] to include Directory space pages in their results? --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 04:44, 4 December 2006 (PST)

:[[Special:Allpages|Allpages]]. Just select Directory from the list. This is also a good place to search for images, templates, etc. [[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 07:16, 4 December 2006 (PST)

::I think here you may have misunderstood me, Karl. [[Special:Allpages|Allpages]] isn't what I desire. What I'd like to do (as an example) is look at [[Special:Longpages]], but be able to see lengthy Directory pages in the results. If you look at [[Special:Newpages]], you see that when you get the mainspace results, you have the option of then looking at different spaces, including Directory. Would be still even better if you could search ALL space for long pages. --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 08:32, 4 December 2006 (PST)
