Help:Style Guide/Brands

From Wikifashion

Do you own a fashion, accessories or beauty label? Are there labels that you like? Wikifashion would love you to create a page for them. Follow this simple guide:

Search for the label that you would like to create a page for by typing the name into the search box, located in the left toolbar. If the brand page does not already exist, there will be an orange link to create a page. If the brand has the same name as the designer, make sure that you have created the designer page with the word designer in brackets next to their name. For example, if you wanted to create a page for Marc Jacobs, the designer- simple type "Marc Jacobs (designer)" to create his profile page. Use the following as a guide to creating a brand page:

• Template

Copy and paste this template into your page:

{{Infobox Company
| company_name	= <!--This is about the brand, so its name is used only-->Example brand
| company_logo	= [[Image:examplelogo.jpg]]
| foundation	= YEAR
| founder       = [[Designer name]]
| location	= [[wikipedia:Melbourne|Melbourne]], [[wikipedia:Australia|Australia]]
| homepage 	= http://www.designersite.com
}}

Within your template, please enter the name of the brand, the logo, year of foundation, founder, location and homepage.

In order to include an image in the template, you must login and press upload file located on the left toolbar. Select the file you want to upload and include a reference in the box below the selected file. Once the file has been uploaded, replace 'designerpicture.jpg' with the file name of the image you just uploaded.

• Headings

Once your template is filled in at the top of the page, you can start to create page sections. It is recommended that you include an about heading, to include one copy the following and enter it below your template:

 ==About== 

An important heading to create for a brand page is collections. You can do this by copying the following onto the page underneath your about section:

 ==Collections== 

In order to create another heading simply use the same markup as above:

 ==Heading2== 

To create subheadings, copy the following onto your page;

 ===Subheading1=== 

 ====Subheading2==== 

When creating headings and subheadings, a table of contents will automatically appear at the top of your page.

In order to create a gallery simply copy the following under the relevant heading:

<gallery widths="150px" heights="200px" perrow="5">

</gallery> 

There are also options that appear in your editing toolbox for bolding and italicising words.

• Category

It is very important that a category is included at the bottom of the page. Simply copy the following and paste at the bottom of your page.

 [[Category:Brands]] 

For a designer you can also list the country that they are from. For example:

 [[Category:Brands of Australia]]
