Create profile template

[ns-rse]

Further to #832 it would be useful to have a standardised template for team and alumni members to complete.

Can be refined but suggest starting with...

---
alumnum: false
level: 2
published: true
othernames: <forename>
surname: <surname>
role: [Senior] Research Software Engineer
---

<free text>

- Email : [<address>@sheffield.ac.uk](mailto:<address>@sheffield.ac.uk)
- GitHub : [<username>](https://github.com/<username>/)
- ORCID : [####-####-####-####](https://orcid.org/####-####-####-####)
- Twitter : [@<username>](https://twitter.com/<username>
- Mastodon : [@<username>@<server>](https://<server>/@<username>
- BlueSky : [@<username>](https://bsky.app/<username>
- LinkedIn : [<username>](https://linkedin.com/in/<account>)
- Web/Blog : [<site-name>](https://<address>)

• role can be adjusted as required.
• Fields between <and > need completing.
• ORCID needs adding.
• Social media handles are optional and can be completed/deleted as required.

Aside/Qustion

I'm curious if <address> (at) sheffield.ac.uk will actually stop email addresses from being scraped, its a fairly simple and common pattern that can easily be corrected. Would it be sensible to just have actual links to our email addresses making it easy for humans to contact us [<address>@sheffield.ac.uk](mailto:<address>@sheffield.ac.uk).

How easy do we think adding an optional picture would be to the template?

[ns-rse]

We all have pictures on our staff profile pages so would it be as simple as embedding a link to point to that and sizing it correctly?

However, this would be fine for existing staff but it can take a while for the official photographer to do the rounds. If a temporary picture were to be used guidelines on resolution and size would seem sensible to include.

I doubt it stops any meaningful amount of spam, just someone started with it and everyone else followed.

Our university emails all exist in mailto links on public university web pages anyway (i.e. https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/cs/people/research-staff/peter-heywood) so its pointless trying to obfuscate it here.

No we don't.
