Help request
I want to create a link between "SPI" - or sensitive personal information and "PII" or "personally identifiable information" for which a Wikipedia article already exists. They are essentially the same thing. SPI is growing in use: http://iraa.trinity.edu/iraa/x561.xml and http://www.lbo.state.oh.us/fiscal/fiscalnotes/127ga/HB0648EN.htm Excerpt: "Confidential personal information (referred to as sensitive personal information (SPI) in the Governor's November 20, 2008 Management Directive) includes social security numbers, federal tax identification numbers, financial information, and so forth."

How to do that?

Possibly a separate article is needed.... SPI can include financial information that while not associated with an individual can be considered "sensitive personal information" in the sense of "company" being a person.


 * Hi there. I have just made a WP:REDIRECT called Sensitive personal information, which now links to the article on PII. You can see the actual page that I created by clicking this special link. It is a page, just like any other, but it contains this line;


 * 1) REDIRECT Personally identifiable information


 * That means, if anyone puts "Sensitive personal information" into the search box now, they will be taken to the PII article.


 * I also edited SPI, which lists all uses of the term, and added "Sensitive personal information" at the end of the "Technology" section.


 * If you wish to create an article about SPI, that would be great (with appropriate sources, etc) - and the article could simply be put over the top of that redirect. However, it is usually best to develop an article in your own userspace before making it "live", so that you can check it is all OK (or ask others to check it). For example, you could make a page called user:Pophop/SPI - that will be a redlink right now, because it doesn't yet exist, but you can click on it and make it.


 * I will add my own 'welcome' message below, which should help you further. But the best thing would be, come and get help online, with this or this.


 * Best of luck,  Chzz  ►  01:06, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
