Bears of Brooks River Book Citizen Scientist / Katmai Bearcam Wiki Edition:

Please Note: Nicknames that appear below in quotation marks are not official nicknames. Unofficial nicknames are used in extremely minimal situations to help minimize confusion, especially for newer cam viewers and park visitors that utilize the bearcam wiki as a resource. Those extremely minimal situations are:

1) the nickname was used by KNP&P and/or Katmai Conservancy Sponsored Rangers until the official bear monitoring number became known and it kind of stuck or provides a tiny "thank you to that ranger" (examples: 747 "Colbert" is in appreciation for Ranger Roy Wood; 902 "Fifi"/"Bonsai" is in appreciation for Ranger Russ Taylor, and 912 "Mufasa" and 913 "Moomba" are used in appreciation for Ranger Tammy Carmack),

2) the name was used widely for an extended period of time in bearcam comments for an independent bear due to the bear monitoring number not being available to cam viewers. With the increased number of newly emancipated subadults and young adults, a greater number of "unknown" bears are observed making it necessary to use these unofficial nicknames as a "placeholder". This also allows for wiki contributors to record the life history of these "unknown" bears when the bear monitoring number is known and the bear can have a wiki page of their very own in the Bear Book - The Bearcam Wiki Edition.

Official nicknames appear below without quotation marks. KNP&P bear monitoring staff and rangers have made the decision to move away from using nicknames. Wiki contributors are making every effort to do the same out of respect for KNP&P staff and in an effort to minimize confusion.

This is meant to compliment the eBooks written by the NPS staff which are available at this link:

eBooks Katmai NP&P website

Our goal is to create a page for each individual bear known to use the Brooks River area.  Let's all pitch in and create the best pages possible with identification information, distinctive behaviors, life history, known litters of cubs for the females, known courting and mating, known relatives, photos, videos, and any other information that will help preserve their stories.  

If you are not comfortable working in the wiki to add content, please ask one of the users to help guide you or share the content you would like to see added with them and they can add it for you.  If you are comfortable adding content, please take a look at some of the completed pages to see the format we are following.  Some great examples are: adult female 261 or adult male 603.

(and please 'bear' with us as we try to learn the best ways of building pages in Wikia.... any suggestions appreciated!)

Thank You Bluevalhalla! 

Bluevalhalla was able to solve the issue with the bears not appearing in numerical order in the "All Items" secion below.  Thank you Bluevalhalla for not only fixing the issues, but also teaching us how to handle these situations in the future! 

For reference, the issue we were having was:

"The section below that is also something we would like to be able to either eliminate or change how the sections are populated, for example, we would like the bears to appear in order by number (68 not appearing under 6, 83 & 89 not appearing under 8).  So again, if anyone knows how to control / design this section, please help us out and let us know.

Bluevalhalla taught us how to rectify this issue:

[From bluevalhalla: I don't know how to remove the following sections, but I did modify the sort order. You can accomplish this by going to each page, select EDIT, select "Categories" from the drop down menu (near "Cancel" button, modify "Sort this page by default as" to force to proper alphabetical order by making all number 3 digits with preceding zeros (e. g. for 1 Diver use "001"), Apply changes and Save page.

Also see the Help:Category page, especially the sections "Sort parameters" and "Dynamic categories" for more info.]
