=== Adding a Category ===
It's very important that you add a category to the article so people can find it. You can find the category settings under the "Page options" menu behind the menu bar icon with horizontal bars.

Set the category to "People" and apply changes.
=== Adding an Infobox ===An infobox is a sidebar containing information about the person the article is about. To add a sidebar an infobox, place the caret at the start of the article and press the "Insert" button in the menu bar and select "Template"

In the popup, start typing "Infobox person" until that option appears in the list, select it and press "Add template". This will take you to a view where you can edit the fields for the infobox. Press the "Insert" button when you're done. If you want to edit the infobox later, just select it and press the "Edit" button.
The tool to insert the infobox has quite clear information, but if you want to see all documentation it's in the template documentation for [[Template:Infobox person|Infobox person]].
