''Maintainer account for '''The Antecedents Project''' on SkyWiki.''

The Antecedents Project is a collaborative, non-commercial family-history wiki focused on documenting biographical and genealogical information with clear sourcing and consistent presentation. This account supports site organization, template/style development, and editorial maintenance.

== About this account ==
* '''Role:''' Project and technical maintenance (templates, categories, layout, documentation, and general housekeeping)
* '''Scope:''' Biographies, ancestry presentations, and supporting project infrastructure
* '''Focus:''' Consistency, accessibility, readability, and long-term maintainability of wiki content

== Technical note ==
Some of the design and layout work for The Antecedents Project—particularly iterative development of templates, wikitext layouts, and CSS/formatting patterns—has been completed with technical assistance from '''ChatGPT'''. All outputs are reviewed and adapted for SkyWiki conventions and project needs before being implemented.

== Editing principles ==
* '''Accuracy first:''' Prefer primary or well-cited sources; avoid unsourced claims.
* '''Clarity and reuse:''' Template-driven structure where appropriate; consistent formatting across articles.
* '''Neutral tone:''' Biographical content aims for a factual, encyclopedic style.
* '''Traceability:''' Use references and notes so future editors can verify and extend work.
