How to Create a Page!

This guide is to help you along the process of making a page, typically either for cats or feeders. If you're unfamiliar with source editor or need a refresher, this is for you.

However, before you make a page you will need to check the following:

• Does this cat already exist? If you're making a cat page for a preexisting feeder, please double check that you're not making a page for a cat who has already been documented. You can double check this by going through the feeder page, or asking around in the wiki discord.
• Do I have enough information? If you have a name chosen, at least two or three sightings recorded, a understanding of the cat's behavior, and a few pictures that includes a top and front view of the cat, then you have the go-ahead to make a page. If you're making a page on a feeder, it is recommended to have at the bare minimum four or five cat pages made for the feeder.
• Have I read the Guidelines fully yet? Above all else, please make sure you're following the wiki rules, otherwise you run the risk of getting your page deleted.

This guide will be using the Page Template as an example.

Making and Preparing a Cat Page

To make a page, use the wiki search bar and enter the name of the cat you want to make the page of. If the page does not already exist, then it will prompt you with a red text you can click on. This will prompt you to the source editor.

In another tab, open up the page template page. Go into edit source, then copy the entire source. Paste the following source into the page you are making.

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 Name=|, or Coat=|, you would fill in the according information after the equal sign. When adding an image in the infobox, use the upload file page and upload a picture of the cat. Once successfully uploaded, copy the name of the file to the Image=| part of the template.
