Are there style icons that you admire? Wikifashion would love you to create a page for them. Follow this simple guide:

Search for the style icon that you would like to create a page for by typing their name into the search box, located in the left toolbar. If the style icon page does not already exist, there will be an orange link to create a page. Use the following as a guide to creating a page:

  • Template

Copy and paste this template into your page: 

{{Infobox Person
| name = Olivia Palermo
| image = Olivia_palermo_3.png
| birth_date  = ?
| birth_place = [[wikipedia:New York|New York]]
| occupation  = star of MTV's [[The City]]
}}

Within your template, please enter the name of the style icon, birthplace, date and occupation.

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, copy the image and paste into this section of the template: 
 [[image:PASTE YOUR IMAGE HERE|thumb|250px]]
  • 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==

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.

For style icon pages you can make use of headings and create photo galleries.

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

<gallery widths="153px" heights="200px" perrow="4">
