| − | In addition to the Wiki basics covered on the [[Main Page#Getting_started|front page]], here are some instructions for the common tasks you'll want to carry out on the capper wiki (Note, you'll need to [[Special:Userlogin|create an account and log in]] before you can start editing & uploading):
| + | #*Handle=Raven_Poe |
| − | | + | #*ImageName=Oh god it's that creepy girl! |
| − | | + | #*ImageDescription= Just your adverage Gothic Witch |
| − | == Editing Your Profile ==
| + | #*RealName=Barbara Rohrman |
| − | # Find yourself on the [[Meet the Cappers]] page. If your handle is there, click your link and then go to the edit tab. Go to step 3.
| + | #*Birthday=April 14, 1977 |
| − | # If your handle is not there, click on the edit tab for [[Meet the Cappers]] and find the alphabetical section where you belong. For example, if your handle is SweetSassyMolassy, find the 'S' section. SweetSassyMolassy would fit between 'SweetHeart666' and 'Swingo'. Go to the end of 'SweetHeart666' and press the 'ENTER' key. Then add the following syntax: <nowiki>*[[SweetSassyMolassy]]</nowiki> You would then go to the bottom of the page and select 'Show Preview'. You will be taken to another screen which will show you what the page will look like after you save it. If you did it right, you should see your handle where you put it in red. Click on your handle.
| + | #*Occupation=Tattoo Artist and Sarcastic Witch |
| − | # Add the following text to the page: "<nowiki>{{capper}}</nowiki>"
| + | #*MaritalInfo=Married |
| − | # By adding the following fields after the word capper (separated by the pipe character "|"), you can fill in your information. (All of these fields are optional). Field names are ''case sensitive''! You must type ImageName to include an image, not Imagename or imagename!
| + | #*Kids= Doing humanity a favor by not pro-creating. |
| − | #*Handle=Your handle (if you're unhappy with the capitalizing/punctuation of the wiki page name) | + | #*HandleOrigin= Huge fan of Poe |
| − | #*ImageName=your image name | + | #*AltHandles= Caspersmoon |
| − | #*ImageDescription=alt text for your image | + | #*You Can Find Me Capping= Here (myspace/ravenpoe4 or facebook using caspersmoon@gmail.com or ravenpoe4 on Twitter. I'm practically everywhere.) |
| − | #*RealName=your real name | + | #*MyStuff= Few years back I was amongst the many and talented cappers of Scifi's Caption This site. When that went down I looked around for other sites like it and didn't come up with much. Up til now, I gave up on it. While doing a search I stumbled across the Capper Wiki and was thrilled at what I found. It goes to show, once a capper, always a capper. (I still kept up my capper dedicated site all these years. Take a look, maybe you'll see something familiar! http://www.angelfire.com/scifi/RavenPoe/cap.html). |
| − | #*Birthday=as much of your birthday as you want to put online | |
| − | #*Occupation=Your job | |
| − | #*MaritalInfo=are ya getting any? | |
| − | #*Kids=Are you responsible for other humans? Who let that happen? | |
| − | #*HandleOrigin=So forth and so on | |
| − | #*AltHandles=A list of any alternate handles you want to share. | |
| − | #*You Can Find Me Capping=where and when your fellow cappers can cap with you. | |
| − | #*MyStuff=A history of yourself with as little or as much information you think your fellow cappers can handle about you | |
| − | #You should have something that looks kind of like this: <br><nowiki>{{capper</nowiki><br>|ImageName=Capper_DrFang.jpg<br>|ImageDescription=It's all about the Fang, baby!<br>|RealName=Ed Fang<br>|Birthday=August 1, 1990<br>|Occupation=Doctor of Dentistry<br>|MaritalInfo=Married<br>|HandleOrigin=I AM DOCTOR FANG<br>|AltHandles=CaptainCool<br>|MyStuff=I am much cooler than you. So there.}}

| − | #You can add links beneath that in the standard wiki format: <nowiki>*[url description]</nowiki>

| − | # If you want to add a picture of yourself, go to the [[Special:Upload|upload page]] and upload a reasonably sized one. After uploading, you should see a page with the image, and the destination filename underneath. You will need the destination filename to include the picture on your page. Edit your profile page again, this time putting in ImageName=whatever the destination name was into the <nowiki>{{capper}}</nowiki> capper template. Be sure it's preceeded and followed by |'s as above.
| |

| − | For more examples, take a look at [[GersonK]] and [[TheGrayZombie]], and compare the pages to their edit tabs.

| − | == Adding a Caption ==
| |
| − | # Be respectful of gallery keepers - don't do wholesale copies of content. Just take the captions you need to illustrate a point.
| |
| − | # [[Special:Upload|Upload the image]] - the "Upload file" link is located in the left hand toolbox. We haven't settled on a file naming convention for the "Destination filename" field, but try picking something distinctive. If the source file still has the 9 to 10 digit timestamp in its name, consider keeping it, since that can [http://unixtimestamp.com/ tell us when it was capped]. After uploading, you should see a page with the image, and the destination filename underneath. You will need the destination filename to include the caption on your page.
| |
| − | # On the edit tab for the page you're adding the caption to, simply drop down the following:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <nowiki>{{caption|Destination Filename|CapperName|Caption|OptionalCaptionDescription}}</nowiki>
| |
| − | | |
| − | example:
| |
| − | <nowiki>{{caption|1148437566.jpg|Bigstupid|Behind me is the most comprehensive list of cappers ever compiled. A sad waste of humanity indeed|Capped at 10:27 PM, 5/23/2006}}</nowiki>
