== When Making a New Page for a Cat ==
StreetCatWiki is not affiliated with Hello Street Cat, Guangxi Hachong Network Technology Co. Ltd or Purrrr. We are simply a group of volunteers with the goal of documenting the cats seen at these feeders.
When the community discovers a possible new cat, please check the other already identified cats in [[List of Cats]] and compare the new cat with the others. If the cat appears to be actually new, please take a screenshot of the cat's back and face, and then the community can agree upon a name. If you are having problems adding a cat or don't understand how to, consider joining the Wiki's Discord server to submit the cat spotted together with its back and front picture.
 
'''Wiki team note: We are currently revamping the feeder pages, rarities and categories. We ask that you do not edit these at this time as your contributions might be undone or deleted.'''


You can always join the [https://discord.gg/streetcatwiki Discord Server] for help! There are various wiki moderators who will be able to answer any questions you might have!


=== Rules ===


'''<big>IF YOU ARE DOCUMENTING A NOT WELL KNOWN FEEDER, PLAN TO MAKE THE PAGES YOURSELF. WE DO NOT KNOW THE CATS YOU HAVE DISCOVERED. THE COMMUNITY CAN HELP REFINE THE PAGE BUT ULTIMATELY IT IS UP TO YOU TO PROVIDE THE INFORMATION.</big>'''
==== General ====
* Do not discuss or post about sensitive topics, do not discuss the abuse groups.
* Pictures of injured cats or other animals are not allowed, if a cat is possible injured censor the picture and add the template [[Template:Warning1]] to the page. Do not go into detail on what might've happened to the cat.
* Do not randomly rename cats or insert false information, you can always add or improve information but avoid deleting unless necessary.
* Do not post images with human faces visible, whether that be the caretaker or bypassers.
* You don't "own" a page, let others contribute freely and allow them to make changes!
* Use proper grammar, feel free to use tools like grammarly for help!


=== Rules ===
==== Pages ====
* Before making a page, make sure that it's a new cat, check the [[List of Cats|List Of Cats]] and the [[Cats By Color|Cats by Color]] pages. If you are still unsure, ask around in the official [https://discord.com/invite/rAJpaUAhnQ Discord server].
* A page is required to have a Cat Info Box, a face picture, back picture and basic information. Avoid creating pages for cats that have only appeared once. Feel free to use the [[Page Template|'''Page Template''']] as a starter guide.
* A page is required to have a Cat Info Box, a facial picture, a back picture and basic information. Avoid making pages for cats that have only appeared once or have only peeked in the feeder.  
* The name can '''NOT'''  be of something offensive, derogatory, or could cause controversy. The name will be changed to another name by the community if this happens. Use common sense.
* If something bad happened to the cat, add the template [[Template:Warning1]] at the beginning of the page and list what bad things happened (e.g. mistreatment). Do '''NOT''' add graphic information to the article, only include a watered-down summary.
* Photos of injured cats aren't allowed on the wiki, text is fine. Depictions or drawings that are not graphic may be added. Stray cats get hurt in the wild naturally or from humans and it is a reality but we are trying to keep the wiki somewhat SFW.
* Finish your page before uploading it. We will remove empty pages with no information. You can always copy your html code somewhere else if you want to finish later or make use of a sandbox.
* Finish your page before uploading it. We will remove empty pages with no information. You can always copy your html code somewhere else if you want to finish later or make use of a sandbox.
* It's recommended to have at least 3 sighting before making a cat page to properly fill the page.
* To create a feeder page, you must have at least 3 cats with proper pages.
* All times must be in UTC+8, this is the standard time for all feeders and can be seen at meow.camera in the bottom left. Use the time format month/day/year. (April 26th, 2024).


=== Recommended ===
==== Naming ====


* Have the time be in UTC+8 or China Standard Time (CST), this is the time of most feeders, and appears on meow.camera in the bottom left. Use the time format day/month/year or month day, year. (e.g. 26/04/2024, April 26th, 2024).
* A cat's name can not be something offensive or derogatory. The name will be changed if this happens.  
* Please check your page for spelling mistakes and grammar. As much as this is a fun fan-made encyclopedia about cats, we do want to have our articles look decent.
* Avoid "clone" names. Cats looks similar all the time, but think of something original.
* If the cat is from the  [[Happy Canteen|Canteen]] (also known as Mr. Fresh's Feeder), please put the cat into Unlisted Cats in [[List of Cats]]. This means the cat isn't well recognized in the community, if the cat visits a few more times afterwards, it will be moved up into The Happy Canteen Feeder Cats.
* A name can not have special symbols, emoji's or anything that can't be pronounced.
* Check out the [[Page Template]] if you have have trouble creating a page or want to know what is required.


== Images ==
Don't be afraid if you make mistakes! It happens to everyone and can be easily fixed by others.


=== Rules ===
=== Page Creation ===
* If you are uploading an image of a feeder, censor any QR codes on the feeder.
Before you create a page, you need to be autoconfirmed first. This means you need to have an account on the wiki for 3 days and have a couple contributions. It's recommended you start small! Look around various feeders and check for cat sightings, fix grammar mistakes or just add information.
* Do not upload images of the guardian's faces, you can censor the faces however. This is to protect the guardian's privacy.
* Do not upload NSFW or NSFL images, this includes injured cats. Censoring the injury isn't okay either, the injury must not be seeable (at all) if you upload an image of the cat.


== Rarities ==
Once you're ready to make a page, check out the [[StreetCatWiki:Page Creation Guide|'''Page Creation Guide''']] for more information!
Every cat has a certain rarity, and it is determined by how often they visit the feeder.
