Shortcut: CLG:CREDITS

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

Source Editor

1. Add the following wikitext at the very top of the page: {{PageCredits|parameter=names|parameter=names|etc...}}
2. Choose your parameters depending on your needs from the list below, separatating each parameter with this symbol: |

Visual Editor

1. Go to Insert>Template and search PageCredits
2. Select a field, then fill it with the appropriate name
3. Repeat for all parameters required
4. Click the insert button at the top of the box to load the template into the page

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"
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.

When you save or preview the page, the credits should show up properly formatted.

An example of this template in use can be seen at the top of this page. In this case, the syntax is as follows:
{{PageCredits|tutorial=Hb1290|edits=Logohub}}

Important information

Only add yourself to the credits of a page if you made a substantial contribution. Do not do so if you only changed a few words or made minor formatting updates.
