Credits are needed for every page on the CLG Wiki. So what exactly do you do to make them?

1. Open the source editor on the page you want (Note: Do not attempt to do this with the visual editor) 2. add the following wikitext: {{PageCredits|parameter=names|parameter=names|etc...}} 3. choose your parameters depending on your needs from the list below:

Standard Parameters:

  • description anyone who wrote most or all of a logo description
  • capture anyone who took the image captures seen on the page
  • video anyone who uploaded a video used on the page
  • edits those who made frequent small edits on a page. If there are many, this section can be ended with "and others"

Additional parameters:

  • compiled use if one single person worked on a page, or if all the people involved with the page performed all the roles involved.
  • tutorial use if the page is a tutorial.

4. Separate each parameter with this symbol: | 5. When you save or preview the page, the credits should show up properly formatted.

All done!

For a great example of credits, go to the Viacom page!
