Person vs. author
editPerson-specific portals should be limited to people who are not authors. Pages about authors should be filed in the Author namespace as normal. This template deliberately resembles the standard author header so that, if the subject of a person-specific portal is later found to an author, the page can be more easily moved and adapted to become an author page.
