You and the Compendium Caidis

The Compendium Caidi contains over 5,000 "Populace" pages, each of these pages is devoted to information about an individual Caidan -- listing their contributions in service, arts, a combat, persona information, achievements, and more.

Each member of the Caidan populace is welcome and encouraged to create and update a page about themselves. This is our record of our group, and we're all part of that!

Creating your own wiki page and keeping it updated is a great way to keep track of your journey in the SCA. It forms a scrapbook of your activities and accomplishments. It also makes it easier for other folks to find out who you are and what you do!

The Compendium Caidis is built by the members of Caid, you too can get access to create and edit pages — follow the steps at New Users Help page in order to become a commenting member of Compendium Caidis, and share your knowledge. Or you can request that a Compendium editor create a page for you. Do that in the Compendium Caidis Facebook Group.

If you wish to submit a photo or other artwork, refer to Media Help page for instructions. You can also email the Wiki Administrator requesting help with submitting images. Or ask for help in the Compendium Caidis Facebook Group.

Info you'll want to start with on your page:

• What is your Persona Name? (This is the one requirement ... all populace entries are listed by persona name, so you must have one at least submitted to the Heralds to create a page.)
• Personal Photo / Photo Caption / Photographer (This should be in garb so we know what you look like at events)
• Device Photo / Device Caption. / Artist
• What Territory do you belong to? (What's your home group, or the group you play with the most?)
• What is your Preferred Title and Preferred Pronoun?
• What is your Status? (Active, semi-active, etc.)

Then you can think about adding:

• What is your Persona Story (if you have one)?
• What Household(s) do you belong to?
• Do you have or are you a squire, apprentice, protégé, student, etc.?
• What Offices have you held in the SCA?
• What Events have you staffed?

• What Arts & Sciences are you interested in? What photos do you want to include on your page?
• Anything else you would like to include? (for example, website URL?)
