Vignette IRM for found documents

Let me know what you think of this idea--I think it would be interesting to add a Vignette format IRM to this page, to incorporate some of the Corporates lore that hasn't made it onto the wiki yet, specifically some of the lore about what various Garages and former Garages' counterparts Mirrorside are like.

My idea would be to add an IRM framed somewhat as "A collection of found documents and records from expeditions into Dark Seattle regarding intel on members of the team and features of this dimension" with each entry either being a short blurb on a Dark Seattle version of a Garages player, or a piece of lore about Dark Seattle (ie, a short history of Hot Tub Club arcades, an explanation of some specific product).

A couple of examples are included in the document here for Jaylen Hotdogfingers and Allison Abbott respectively; these are based on a Garages document we have brainstorming various ideas for Corporates versions of players. The entries also would definitely not be formatted like actual player pages so as not to confuse anyone looking for the real, main universe players.

The benefit of an IRM like this is it gets a lot of the Corporates lore onto the wiki while also by its very nature being not-comprehensive, because the framing is of "documents that were found/stolen" so there's not pressure to have to do Every Single Player and gives room for more to be added over time. For situations like that of Mike Townsend (who has a number of Corporates interpretations) it would even work to have multiple entries with his name on it.
