Fill out a brief description of the cat, including which feeder they are from, as well as 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. These sections will include working with formatting, filling out the cat infobox template, how to make a gallery, and any additional information you may need to know. | ||

*Below the gallery should be the cat footer. If you're making a cat page for a newer feeder, leave the footer as is. If you're making a cat page for an already documented feeder either on the [[List of Cats]] or [[List of Other Cats]] page, then you will want to switch the footer to that corresponding feeder. Using the list of feeder footers [https://streetcat.wiki/index.php/Category:Footer_templates here,] copy the name of the template you wish to use, then replace ''Cat Footer'' with the copied name. For example, if you were making a new page for [[Hi Meow]], it should look like <code><nowiki>{{HMCF}}</nowiki></code>. | *Below the gallery should be the cat footer.
