== January 2016 - 6th Birthday ==
The 6th Saintapedia Birthday is focusing on updating the [[Leadership]] article, which should house every major organization's Leadership infobox.  Leadership infoboxes are [[templates]] that list major organizational leadership position, who holds them (or if they are vacant), and how long they have been in the leadership position.
=== How these boxes are used ===
The Leadership infoboxes follow the Saintapedia model of creating/maintaining content in one place and reusing it throughout the wiki.  The infoboxes should be placed on:
* organization main Saintapedia article (possibly aligned to the left rather than to the right)
* organization sub-offices articles
* articles about each of the leadership positions
* biography articles of those who have held leadership positions in the organization in the past (so individuals can know who succeeded him or her)
* article about those who currently hold leadership roles
* [[Leadership]] article
=== Why leadership infoboxes? ===
* Information on public websites can be difficult to find or buried in image organization charts.
* Charts only have current individuals in the positions, while Saintapedia allows for historic individuals to be known.
* Saintapedia allows that historic content to be maintained. Past individuals who have held leadership positions often have their biographies removed from the public website when they leave the position.
* Biographies on Saintapedia can be [[wikified]] which allows them to become much more useful and interactive.
* See [[#How these boxes are used|How these boxes are used]] for more details how the information can easily be reused.
=== How to modify Leadership infoboxes ===
