Throughout the source code, you will fill out each section with the information you have of the cat. Most sections should be self-explanatory, fill out a brief description of the cat including which feeder they are from, how they act, what they look like, and their recorded sightings. However, there are some things that require a bit more understanding for first time editors. These sections will include formatting, filling out the cat infobox template, how to make a gallery, and any additional information you may need to know.

Most sections should be self-explanatory, fill out a brief description of the cat including which feeder they are from, how they act, what they look like, and their recorded sightings. However, there are some things that require a bit more understanding for first time editors. These sections will include working with formatting, filling out the cat infobox template, how to make a gallery, and any additional information you may need to know.

Once you have finished writing out each section and uploading pictures for your page, we can do some final details before uploading.  
Once you have finished writing out each section and uploading pictures for your page, we can do some final details before uploading.  
*Below the gallery should be the cat footer. If you're making a cat page for a newer feeder, leave the footer as is. If you're making a cat page for an already documented feeder either on the [[List of Cats]] or [[List of Other Cats]] page, then you will want to switch the footer to that corresponding feeder. Using the list of feeder footers [https://streetcat.wiki/index.php/Category:Footer_templates here,] copy the name of the template you wish to use, then replace ''Cat Footer'' with the copied name. For example, if you're making a new page for [[Hi Meow]], it should look like <code><nowiki>{{HMCF}}</nowiki></code>.
*Next step is categories. First, remove the template category. Second, take a look at the [https://streetcat.wiki/index.php/Category:Cats_by_color cats by color] page. Any of the options there that work best for your cat, you will add as a category. For example, if you're writing a cat that looks like a brown tabby, then it would use the <code><nowiki>[[Category:Brown Tabby]]</nowiki></code> code, add as many as you see fit. Use the same step as before, and add a female or male category depending on the gender of the cat.
Once you've finished up those two final steps, double check your writing and see if there is any grammar or spelling mistakes you need to fix up. If you need to, input your writing into Grammarly or Quillbot to check your work, or have another wiki member read through your work. It is recommended before posting your page to preview what it would look like using the ''Show preview'' button at the bottom of your source editor. When you feel everything is sufficient enough to post, click the ''Save page'' button and fill out the captcha. Congratulations, you've finished your first page!
