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, as well as 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. | |||

to be | Using the search bar method, enter the english name of the feeder, and if it does not already exist click on the red text. Instead of using the page template for cats, open up the [[Feeder Template]] page on another tab. Copy the entire source, then paste it into your new page. | ||
This source code deals with a few additional templates and functions that are specific for feeder pages. These quick sections will go through how to work with the feeder infobox, managing the cat list, and any additional details that should be added. | |||
=== Feeder Infobox === | |||
The feeder infobox works very similarly to the cat infobox. The following is what the template looks like: | |||
<code><nowiki>{{FeederInfobox|name_en=Name in English|image=Temp Image.png|caption=Temp|name_zh=Chinese Name|watch_id=Feeder ID}}</nowiki></code> | |||
Just like with the cat infobox, replace and fill in any of the brackets with information about the feeder. As well, upload a picture of the feeder, and place it in the image bracket. If you're having trouble figuring out how to get the feeder ID, access the feeder via [https://meow.camera/ meow.camera], and copy the long set of numbers at the end of the link. | |||
Here is an example of a filled out infobox, using the source code of [[GOODCAT]]. | |||
<code><nowiki>{{FeederInfobox|name_en=GOODCAT|image=GOODCAT front view.png|caption=The feeder at night|name_zh=GOODCAT|watch_id=5066658712033736600}}</nowiki></code> | |||
=== Making the Cat List === | |||
The cat list uses code that makes your cat list collapsible along with the gallery function. This does not need to be messed with, as it is already set up for you. All you will need to do is pick out a picture for your cat, replace the temp image within the gallery brackets, then link back to that cat. Repeat this until you've added all the cats that have been already documented. | |||
=== Finishing off the Page === | |||
Once you have finished all of the sections in your source code, you can finish off with the final details. Starting off with categories, remove the template category, and instead replace it with <code><nowiki>[[Category:Feeders]]</nowiki></code>. After that, read through your writing and double check for spelling and grammar errors. If you need to, use Grammarly or Quillbot to check your work, or have another wiki member read through your work. Check how your page presents with the ''Show preview'' button, and see if there is any adjustments you need to make. Once you feel everything is in order, go ahead and click on ''Save Page''. | |||
