then be able to click on there names from that page which in return brings you to another page with that persons specific information the i will be placing in there as in background info charges etc etc

I not talking about making pages for each name these would pages connected to the list of names that would be clickable and then would access that info 0  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

No. The only thing I can think of is clicking 'Members'(below site-heading)and there it will show all the members.

Yes it is possible. More information will be needed to construct such a database.
1. Will the name information be static or dynamic?
2. Who will be entering the data into the database?
3. How often will the database names be updated?
4. and a bunch more answers that are too much to answer in a thread here on Wetpaint Central.

Splats2, my wiki can help you create a useable database for your wiki.
Go to see an example of a name database with instructions.

http://splats2.wetpaint.com/page/Name+Database

and post a thread there with regards to your database structure.

If there is a requirement to enter data into a record by filling out a form and having the data being updated, it cannot be done on Wetpaint's platform. This would require a form and a write back to the servers at Wetpaint. Wetpaint does not offer CSS or HTML or PHP or Visual Basic capabilities.

The best offering is a mock-database for retreival only. Data would have to be entered into the mock database manually. Like the one created on Splats2.

You may want to look into www.zoho.com to build a database and bring the page from Zoho onto your site with iFrame coding.
