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, it won't work at all)
2. add the following wikitext at the very top of the page: {{PageCredits|parameter=names|parameter=names|etc...}}
3. choose your parameters depending on your needs from the list below:

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 credits (add these manually):

  • Compiled by: use if one single person worked on a page, or if all the people involved with the page performed all the roles involved.
  • Tutorial by: 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.

Here's an example of this template in action (This is from the Warner Bros. Home Entertainment page):




in this case, the markup is as follows: {{PageCredits|description=Matt Williams, AlbertoTheMonkey, James Stanley Barr, UniversalFlorida1990 and vhslogos|capture=bigrene2, Eric S., Logophile, wisp2007, V of Doom, Mr.Logo, Dean Stewart Rumsey, socoollogos, VPJHuk, TrickyMario7654, Muzzarino, indycar, and ClosingLogosHD|edits=V of Doom, indycar, JackLovesCLGLogos, Muzzarino, Gabkat2007, Thestudioghiblifan, vhslogos, CooleyBoy10, and GoAnimateFan199Pro|video=The Logo Channel, ACDC48086, MZVintages, obsessional tv, retro VHS trailers, STC Official / STC Officiel, - VPJLogo - and KinoLogoIntroRelease}}</code>
