User:LOLSKELETONS/User Submissions Tutorial

This page attempts to explain, in the clearest possible terms, how to properly add your OC pasta(s) to the User Submissions page. Suggest changes to this tutorial |here. For a similar tutorial on the Article Listing, see the Project:Article Listing/Tutorial.

General
After submitting an OC pasta, you're going to want to do the following:


 * 1) Add your pasta to the OC category.
 * 2) Add your pasta to the User Submissions in the appropriate alphanumeric subpage (based on your username, not the pasta name).
 * 3) Update the Article Listing with your pasta (tutorial available  here )

The following sections will obviously be covering the first two items.

Adding the "OC" category

 * For more information on how to add categories, see Help:Category#How-To

The first thing you're going to want to do is add your story to the OC category. There should be a category module at the bottom of the page and an option to add a category there.

If this feature is somehow unavailable to you, another option is to click the "edit" button and put the following at the bottom of the edit box*:

* Note: it is advised to switch into source mode before doing this by clicking the "source" tab located on the right side of dashboard above the edit box.

Adding your pasta to the User Submissions
The second thing you are going to want to do is go to the User Submissions page.

A link to the main User Submissions page can be found on the wiki navigation toolbar located directly above every page on the wiki. Observe:

(screencaps of wiki navigation [2 or 3 will suffice])

Next, locate the alphanumeric subpage that matches the first letter of your username (for example, if your username starts with A, you would go to Project:User Submissions/A). A complete index of User Submissions subpages can be found at the bottom of the User Submissions page.

Now what?
Once you have arrived at the appropriate subpage, click the "edit" button at the top of the page and

The rest of the text (wrapped in &lt;pre&gt; tags down there) has yet to be converted from Template:USTUT.

[...]See how each author's username is in its own heading, with links to their pasta(s) underneath it?

The wiki markup for headers is two equal signs on each side of the header name, like this:

Place the header for your username between the one that comes directly before and the one that comes directly after your username alphabetically. To reiterate: it must be in ALPHABETICAL ORDER.

Next, insert links to your pasta(s) under the header. The wiki markup for internal wiki links is two sets of double square brackets, like this:

You must put the EXACT TITLE of the pasta within the brackets. You're also going to want to add a bullet point before each link, which can be achieved by adding an asterisk (*) at the beginning of each line. The end result should look something like this (in code):

== == * Pasta * Pasta * etc.
