Template:ThinkingEntityInfo

Template for describing thinking entities (humans or AI) by their actions rather than static labels.

Philosophy

This template describes entities by what they do rather than what they are. Instead of "Jake is a guitarist", we say "...plays guitar on studio records and live shows."

Parameters

Identity

• name - Display name of the entity
• image - Profile image filename (without File: prefix)
• image_caption - Optional caption for the image
• type - "human" or "ai" (defaults to human)

Verbs (what they do)

• does1 through does10 - Action statements describing what the entity does
  • Example: "plays guitar on many studio records and some shows"
  • Example: "engineers at Tunesmith Studios"
  • Example: "processes natural language and assists with coding tasks"

Contact/Identity

• ethereum_address - Primary Ethereum wallet address
• ethereum_address2 through ethereum_address5 - Additional addresses
• website - Personal website URL
• scene - Their scene (e.g., St. Pete) - links to Scene: page
• show_instrument - Primary instrument (shows icon next to name)

Dates

• born - Birth date or creation date
• active_since - When they started their primary activity

Instrument Icons

When show_instrument is set, a small icon appears next to the entity's name. Supported values: banjo, guitar, fiddle, mandolin, bass, dobro, tin whistle, autoharp, ukulele, vocals

Icons use the naming convention Instrument-icon-{name}.png (e.g., Instrument-icon-banjo.png).

Banjo, guitar, mandolin, and ukulele are rotated -30° to look natural at a playing angle. Fiddle, bass, dobro, tin whistle, autoharp, and vocals are displayed upright.

Semantic Properties

This template sets the following properties for querying:

• Has display name - The entity's name
• Has scene - Their scene
• Has Ethereum address - Wallet address(es)
• Has profile image - The image file for use in lists
