Twenty Twenty Five: Add an author template

[audrasjb]

It appears that right now, the “All Archive” default template is not sufficient to handle specific needs. For instance, when viewing an author archive, the “Term Description” block won’t display the author description.

Therefore, we suggest to add an author template to Twenty Twenty Five, that use the Author Bio block instead of Term Description.

Note: This is a collaborative effort carried out during the Whodunit Contribution Day, with the participation of @larrach, @leprincenoir, @simonjanin, @bmartinent, and @jaz_on 🙌

We tested the PR locally
This is the result :

@kimjiwoon I cannot understand how these issues are linked to this proposal concerning Twenty Twenty Five. Could you please elaborate?

This wasn’t a directly related mention, but since it’s connected to the topic of the author page template, it made me think of a few things. I was wondering if you’re also considering aspects like /?author=0, Gravatar enhancements, and Fediverse profiles.

Let's keep each ticket focused on its purpose: This one is about having a default author template in the Twenty Twenty Five theme, not about any other change :)

I think you should open another ticket(s) if you have any specific implementation to suggest ;)
