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, aficianados links allow the use of true names via Directory listings. Aficianados 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 to the bottom of any Main space article:
==Aficionados== *See [[Talk:{{PAGENAME}}]] for discussions/comments regarding this article. *See [[{{PAGENAME}}/Aficionados]] for people who have listed ''{{PAGENAME}}'' as a [[Relation:Personal Interest|personal interest]]. *See [[Talk:{{PAGENAME}}/Aficionados]] for discussions regarding this personal interest.
Will generate this:
Aficionados
- See Talk:Aficionados for discussions/comments regarding this article.
- See Aficionados/Aficionados for people who have listed Aficionados as a personal interest.
- See Talk:Aficionados/Aficionados for discussions regarding this personal interest.

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