Your edits to Template:Nonfiction-writer-stub
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Unfortuntely I have had to revert your add of biographical material on a particular writer to the template Template:Nonfiction-writer-stub. That template is used ("called", like a macro in programming) on a great many pages ("stub", i.e. short, articles about various nonfiction writers), and your text appeared on all of them.

That is not how templates work. The nonfiction-writer-stub template is not supposed to include stubs for nonfiction writers. Rather the template is used on article pages that are stubs.

Because the template includes a category, one can then go to the category page and see all the "nonfiction writer stub" articles.

If you want to publish information about that writer on Wikipedia, the right thing is to be bold and simply create an article. A "starter" article need be nothing more than the text you wrote previously. Then you should tag it with Note that you can recover your text from the page history at template:nonfiction-writer-stub.
