WikiIndex:Add a Wiki

From WikiIndex

(Redirected from Add a wiki)

Anyone can add a page to WikiIndex to describe a wiki website (what this site is about). Follow these simple steps:

[edit] Step 1 – Check if it's already listed here

Find the correct name of the wiki.

Use the search feature in the left side menu to check if the wiki is already listed here. We already have quite a big index. Try some alternate names of your wiki (e.g. with or without the word wiki on the end). If you find it, there's no need to add it again, just edit the existing information!

[edit] Step 2 - Create the Wiki page

if needed...
Type the name into the edit field and press the button, you will be transferred to a newly created wikipage. Fill in there what you know and save the page.

Or, if the page exists, then copy the boilerplate from here:


{{Wiki 
| logo              = [[Image:NoLogo.png]]
| URL               = YourWikiHttp
| recentchanges URL = No
| wikinode URL      = No
| status            = YourWikiStatus
| language          = YourWikiLanguage
| editmode          = YourWikiEditMode
| engine            = YourWikiEngine
| license           = YourWiki'sLicense
| maintopic         = YourWikiTopic
}}
== Description ==
{{add}}
<!-- add description of the wiki here and
     remove this comment and dummy
     categories/tag and add your own

tagging: {{tag|Wikis to add}}
(This tag contruction is used when
you want a word in the text to link
to the category of that same name.

If the category name doesn't appear
in the text, use this at the bottom
of the page:

[[category:FirstAdditional]]
[[category:SecondAdditional]]

-->

{{Size
| pages = <!-- Necessary. Type the plain number of pages here. -->
| statistics URL = <!-- Optional, source of page count (mostly a statistics page). If unknown leave void. -->
| wikiFactor = <!-- Optional. If unknown leave void. (See Proposal:wikiFactor) -->
| wikiFactor URL = <!-- Optional, source of wiki factor. If unknown leave void. -->
}}

[edit] Step 3 – Upload or hotlink the logo

To put a logo on the wiki description page...

You must login or create an account login before you can upload an image
Click on the "Upload file" link in the lower left hand toolbox
Locate your logo file using the browse button
Upload the file
Copy the page name of the image page
Replace "Image:NoLogo.png" in the code above with your image page name
Save the page

On the other hand, if you don't want to login to wikiindex and know the Logo URL you can hotlink to that logo using this url in the field logo.

Note: if you upload an image that starts with a lower case character, this first character is automatically converted to upper case. The server is case sensitive. So prepare to link to "Logoxyz.gif" when you've actually uploaded "logoxyz.gif".

An alternate way to put a logo on the wiki description page is described at WikiProject:Logos.
