'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a Centiare mechanism used to provide links from Main Space articles to discussions, and contributors and other interested persons and/or entities. 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/entities with other interests (if any), as well as display other contributions they may have made. Contributions can be [[Centiare:ERB|ERB]] articles, other Main space articles, or information included with Directory listings.

In an effort to avoid the typical degradation seen where [[NPOV]] is imposed i.e., edit wars, deletions, reversions, link spam, etc., '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a MyWikiBiz mechanism used to provide links from Main Space articles to discussions, and other interested persons/entities and their contributions (if any).

===Side Note===

===Side Note===

The relation [[Relation:Personal Interest|Personal Interest]] is used for both individuals and entities (ie businesses). This is because:

The relation [[Relation:Subject Interest|Subject Interest]] is used for both individuals and entities (eg businesses, NPOs) because:

* If we reduced ''personal interest'' to '''interest''', it may conflict with a future financial tag called ''interest'';

* If ''subject interest'' was reduced to '''interest''', it may conflict with a future financial tag called ''interest'';

* Creating a ''business interest'' or other similar descriptor could lead to tag proliferation. Since many people & businesses have similar interests (eg real estate), it would only fragment semantic values.

* Creating a ''personal'', ''business'' or other similar interest descriptor could lead to tag proliferation. Since many people & businesses have similar interests (eg real estate), it would only fragment semantic values.

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.
