Gathering collections of these notable figures, even if they don't have "works" per se to reference, is still a really valuable way to portray socialism. A massive page full of notable figures and links to their various support for socialism alongside the academic content would have a strong effect on left-leaning libs that are riddled with anti-communist brainworms. Being bombarded with a large swarm of things they didn't know about figures that they already consider to be "the good people" will have a rubbing off effect on the ones they are uneasy about, such as Stalin and Mao here. I am obviously not telling you guys how to do your work but I see the way you're displaying it and see a massive opportunity.

I would genuinely link to prolewiki regularly if it included this stuff with that presentation, because it would reinforce existing propaganda patterns I already perform when I'm trying to turn the baby-leftists(not intended as an insult) into proper leftists and prevent them turning down the anti-communist paths.

    Everyone is free to request an account on ProleWiki and help improve our pages 😄

    You could make a page named something like "Supporters of socialism" with these people in it and what they said about socialism etc for example

    That's the thing, I don't think it should be separated. I big long massive page of pictures of people they know but didn't know were supporters of communism/socialism all in one place is how you get it to be significantly more powerful to people.
