there are some things i'm debating on keeping. i think having an example of a filled out infobox in code form would be helpful for those who want a visual reference but it also takes up alot of space... if any lurkers want to share their thoughts, feel free to ping me in the wiki discord :P

== Adding Information ==
== Adding Information ==
The first thing you'll see in the source is the cat infobox. This is a template, what it does is shows all sorts of info about the cat to the right of the page. To start off, you will need to fill and replace text with information about the cat you're writing about. For example, where the bracket says <code>Name=|</code>, or <code>Coat=|</code>, you would fill in the according information ''after'' the equal sign. When adding an image in the infobox, use the [[Special:Upload|upload file]] page and upload a picture of the cat. Once successfully uploaded, copy the name of the file to the <code>Image=|</code> part of the template.
For a better understanding of the source you are working with, this guide will go step by step through each section.
 
=== Cat Infobox ===
The first thing you'll see in the source is the cat infobox, it should look like the following:
 
<code><nowiki>{{CatInfobox|name=Cat Name|image=Temp Image.png|breed=|coat=|sex=|appearance=|first_sighting=Month ##, Year}}</nowiki></code>
 
To start off, you will need to fill and replace text with information about the cat you're writing about. For example, where the bracket says <code>name=|</code>, or <code>coat=|</code>, you would fill in the according information ''after'' the equal sign. When adding an image in the infobox, use the [[Special:Upload|upload file]] page and upload a picture of the cat. Once successfully uploaded, copy the name of the file to the <code>image=|</code> part of the template.  
 
If you would like to add more information to your infobox, here are some following brackets you can add:
* Rarity, personality, and occupation are typically seen on a majority of cat pages. This can be done by adding <code>rarity=|occupation=|personality=|</code> inbetween the sex and first sighting brackets, and then fill them out accordingly.
* If your cat has a relationship with another cat, whether it is familial, romantically, or otherwise unspecified, then you would add the relationship brackets to the infobox. The following code for that would be <code>parents=|partner=|siblings=|children=|other_relations=|</code>, and this would be placed after the first sightings bracket.
* If the cat goes by another name or has a nickname either from the international community or the Chinese community, then you can add the other names bracket. The code for this would be <code>other_names=|</code> and would be placed after the image bracket.
 
This is an example of what a fully filled out infobox would look like, using the source code of [[Mr. Sunflower]]:
 
<code><nowiki>{{CatInfobox|name=Mr. Sunflower|image=MrSunflower3.png|caption=Mr. Sunflower looking into the camera|other_names=Mr. Nosey, Mr. Sniffs|breed=Domestic Shorthair|coat=Red (orange) Classic Tabby with Low White Spotting|sex=Male|rarity=Common|occupation=Professional sniffer|appearance=Orange and white|eye_color=Yellow|personality=Sleepy and cautious|first_sighting=February 25th, 2024
10:20 AM (LFT)|parents=Unknown|partner=[[Mrs. Eeper]]|siblings=Unknown|children=None}}</nowiki></code>
