Using doffpage
First of all, welcome to the wiki. I've already noticed many of your helpful contributions.

But regarding your recent edits to Specialization: Prisoner, I'm afraid using that way just isn't a good idea. It assigns both properties and categories to the pages it's included in and was only ever intended for pages documenting a single duty officer. Allowing it to be used on other pages could (and likely would) end up causing those pages to appear in tables meant to list only duty officers, and could screw up the layout of those tables as well. There are just too many likely bad side-effects.

I'm working on a custom extension to improve our handling of duty officers, and I have been and will be getting duty officer data directly from the devs. Until then, I suggest starting pages in the style of Specialization: Advisor/Starfleet and Specialization: Advisor/KDF to list prisoners. The new pages can then be linked from List of duty officers and Template:Doff specialization nav. If we have people laying out lists in different ways, it'll be harder to switch things over to the extension when its ready. &mdash; Eyes   08:14, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for that information. I will do as you suggest.--Moin 08:27, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
