Help:Add a First Day Cover
From Stamps of the World
One of the goals of SOTW is to show as much about a stamp set as possible and that includes First Day Covers.
Adding a First Day Cover can be done with the following code :
==First Day Cover== {| |[[File:Country Year Title FDC.jpg|thumb|450px|FDC]] |}
- Change the Country, Year, Title to the set you are currently working on.
Now lets do it step by step :
- Go to the page you want to add a FDC and click edit.
- In the edit box add the code for a FDC under the stamp code remembering to set change the Country, Year, Title.
- Click Save Page
- The code will now have placed a header for "First Day Cover" and then a Red image link. These red links now allow you to easily add an image to the Wiki.
- Click on the Red Image link and then Browse to find the file on your system.
- Under summary you can place a link to where you got the file or a link back to your website. Eg. Image Source : My Website
- Click the Upload file button to complete the upload.
- The Image page will appear with your image and then there will be a File Usage link at the bottom you can use to go back to the Stamp Set page to see your uploaded file on the page.
- Congratulations you have now added a First Day Cover to the page and improved the info available on the WIKI.
