Throughout the source code, you will fill out each section with the information you have of the cat. Most parts should be self-explanatory, fill out a brief description of the cat including which feeder they are from, how they act, what they look like, and their recorded sightings.

Most parts should be self-explanatory, fill out a brief description of the cat including which feeder they are from, 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. The sections will include formatting, filling out the cat infobox template, how to make a gallery, and any additional information you may need to know. | ||

Now that you have learned how to upload images for your cat infobox, we can utilize the image and gallery functions. | Now that you have learned how to upload images for your cat infobox, we can utilize the image and gallery functions. Starting off with the image function in the appearance category of your source code, there will be code for an image that looks like this: | ||
<code><nowiki>[[File:Temp Image.png|none|thumb|207x207px|Cat from above]]</nowiki></code> | <code><nowiki>[[File:Temp Image.png|none|thumb|207x207px|Cat from above]]</nowiki></code> | ||
Here is a step by step process of what each part means. | |||
* The first bracket is your file name. Similarly to the infobox, you would switch out ''Temp Image.png'' for an image you have uploaded of the cat. | |||
* The second bracket is where the image presents itself horizontally. For this purpose, it has been set to ''none'' and does not need to be adjusted, however if you would like to see the following options for future edits, you can check [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images#Horizontal_alignment here.] | |||
* The next bracket is for format options, it controls how the image is embedded in the page. Currently, it is set to thumb for thumbnail, which is perfect for this instance, but if you want to know the other options you can check [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images#Format here.] | |||
* The next bracket is image size, which is self-explanatory. This is measured in pixels, the bigger the pixel count, the bigger the image will be. For this instance it's currently set to the recommended 207x207 size, however you can adjust it to how you see fit. | |||
* Finally, the last bracket is for the caption. You can write what works best for whatever you're using the image for. | |||
Towards the bottom of your source code should be a section for the cat's gallery. Instead of adding an image code for every single image you want to add, instead a gallery function will be used. This works similarly to the image format, however all you need to do is add the file name and caption for the image in-between <code><nowiki><gallery></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki></gallery></nowiki></code>. | |||
