Introduction

Aficionados is a Centiare mechanism used to provide links from Main Space articles to discussions, and contributors and other interested persons. In contrast to an article's history page, aficionados links allow the use of true names via Directory listings. Aficionados also provide a means to associate persons with other interests (if any), as well as display other contributions they may have made. Contributions can be ERB articles, other Main space articles, or information included with Directory listings.

Main Page Links

Adding the following template to the bottom of any Main space article:

{{aficionados}}

Will generate this:

Aficionados


Aficionados Subpages

Clicking through to the Aficionados subpage, a standard ASK query that looks like this (using Boxing as an example):

The following people have [[Centiare:Semantic tagging|semantically tagged]] '''Boxing''' as a [[Relation:Personal Interest|personal interest]]:
<ASK Mainlabel="Person" Header="show" Link="all">
[[Personal_Interest::Boxing]]
[[Personal_Interest::*|Their Interests]]
[[Contributor_To::*|Contributions]]
</ASK>
<br clear="all">

The following people have semantically tagged '''[[:Category:Sports|Sports]]''' as a personal interest:
<ASK Mainlabel="Person" Header="show" Link="all">
[[Personal_Interest::<q>[[:Category:Sports]]</q>]]
[[Personal_Interest::*|Their Interests]]
[[Contributor_To::*|Contributions]]
</ASK>
<br clear="all">

Will generate a result that looks like this:


The following people have semantically tagged Boxing as a personal interest: <ASK Mainlabel="Person" Header="show" Link="all"> Boxing Their Interests Contributions </ASK>

The following people have semantically tagged Sports as a personal interest: <ASK Mainlabel="Person" Header="show" Link="all"> [[Personal_Interest::Category:Sports]] Their Interests Contributions </ASK>

Conclusion

Aficionados is all about creating the means by which a community of interested persons can exchange information regarding Main space articles without the typical degradation seen where NPOV is imposed i.e., edit wars, deletions, reversions, link spam, etc.
