| − | + | Some recommendations: |
|
| ⚫ | |||
| − | * Prior to adding your costume, review the '''[[:Category:All|full list of existing costumes]]''' - it's possible we already have similar costumes, and in such a case you don't need to create a separate article for your costume but just add a new version to an existing article. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | * If such an article already exists, click on the '''Edit''' button next to its header to add your version to it. |
||
| ⚫ | * The recommended file size for images is 150K. However, you don't need to optimize and resize your photos if they are already within this limit. Wiki has a multilevel system to display images, so a smaller thumbnail image will be visible on your page automatically. You only need to choose the corresponding "thumb" size for it to approximately match the ratios of photos on other pages. |
||
| − | * If there is no such costume, you need to create a new page for it. Select '''[[Special:Createpage|Add page]]''' in the menu on the wiki's home page. You will see a form with fields for the name of your article and its contents. |
||
| ⚫ | * All images for one wiki are stored in one pool so when you add a new version of some existing costume, be sure to not rewrite someone else's images. For better control, it is preferable to avoid automatically given filenames with lots of numbers and letters and rename your photos using the following pattern: "costume name-author-costume part or version". |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| ⚫ | * If you also speak Russian it would be great if you add your costumes to the [[w:c:ru.costume:%D0%97%D0%B0%D0%B3%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%86%D0%B0|Russian Costume wiki]] the same time. Please note these two wikis have separate pools for images, so you need to upload your photos twice. |
||
| − | # Start you costume version with the name (or nickname) of its creator in double "=" sign (Heading 2 level): '''<nowiki>==Created by Author==</nowiki>'''. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | # If you have a photo of your costume, put it in an Image tag aligned to the right or left alternately for each version of the costume. Or center it if there is not enough text to flow around the image. Specify thumbnail size for large images and add captions (usually child's name and/or age) if desired: '''<nowiki>[[Image:Name.jpg|right|thumb|200px|My kid, N years old]]</nowiki>'''. |
||
| − | |||
| − | # Add description in a few paragraphs of text and additional images for costume parts or patterns. |
