== '''Creating the wiki page''' ==
 
[[File:Captura de pantalla 2017-02-25 16.03.04.png|thumbnail|right|An example of a new wiki page.]]
 
  
Creating a wiki page is very easy.
 
 
Type the manifesto’s title directly in the search box and press enter.
 
 
A new, editable page will open.
 
 
The manifesto’s page title must be written as follows:
 
 
http://dpya.org/en/index.php/Domains,_Publics_and_Access
 
 
http://dpya.org/wiki/index.php/
 
 
http://dpya.org/wiki/index.php/Year_Manifesto_title_Author's_name
 
 
http://dpya.org/en/index.php/_(2008)_Guerrilla_Open_Access_Manifesto_Aaron_Swartz
 
 
'''The year that appears in the title is always the year of the first edition.'''
 
 
To start editing just click on the “edit this page” link right under the new page title.
 
 
==  '''Filling out the index card''' ==
 
[[File:Screenshot-dpya.org 2017-04-07 19-01-48.png|thumbnail|right|This is what a complete index card looks like.]]
 
 
Each field is filled-out manually following the criteria below.
 
 
 
'''Text''' [HEADING / LEVEL 2 / BOLD / A-]
 
 
Full manifesto text is copied as long as the the manifesto’s length and editing allow for it.
 
 
When copying the text into the wiki, take into account the original layout might be lost, which happens often.
 
 
In these cases, the text will need to be edited again in the new wiki page following the original layout.
 
 
'''Important! Manifestos not written or translated into English are published in the original language.'''
 
 
'''A manifesto written or translated into Spanish, please, publish it also in the Spanish version of the wiki: dpya.org'''
 
 
 
'''File''' [HEADING / LEVEL 2 / BOLD / A-]
 
 
THE MANIFESTO FILE WILL BE ADDED IN THIS SPACE AFTER UPLOADING IT TO THE WIKI (see instructions below)
 
 
 
'''Links''' [HEADING / LEVEL 2 / BOLD / A-]
 
 
'''URL:''' [BOLD] http://copy_here_the_url_where_the_manifest_was_found
 
 
'''Wayback Machine:''' [BOLD] In order to preserve the manifesto, its URL is copied in the Internet Archive’s Service with the same name: http://archive.org/web/ Once the manifesto URL is copied, the file’s new URL is copied here. In some cases, sites are protected and copying them is not allowed. To make note of this when it happens, copy the message displayed by the Wayback Machine.
 
 
== '''Cataloguing Manifestos''' ==
 
 
[[File:Screenshot-dpya.org 2017-02-23 16-28-15.png|thumbnail|right|Manifesto cataloguing should follow the next order.]]
 
[[File:Screenshot-dpya.org 2017-02-23 16-30-51.png|thumbnail|right|The following are categories for Aaron Swartz’s manifesto.]]
 
 
Cataloguing is done following the main menu’s categories and subcategories.
 
 
This task is to be performed manually, typing in the corresponding categories and subcategories at the bottom of the page.
 
 
Corresponding categories and subcategories are typed following the order in which they appear on the main menu.
 
 
Manifesto cataloguing follows the order and criteria described next.
 
 
'''1st Category “Manifestos”'''
 
 
This first category is the most important. Without it the manifesto will not be indexed as part of “Documentation” and it won’t appear in this section. It will be lost to the wiki’s records.
 
 
'''2nd Category “Language(s)”'''
 
 
The language in which the manifesto has been published is recorded here. If the manifesto is available in more than one language, please catalogue all of them. This allows the manifesto to be associated with the different languages that make up the subcategories in this section.
 
 
'''3rd Category “Starting Country(ies)”'''
 
 
Publishing countries are added here. This allows the manifesto to be associated to the different countries that make up the subcategories in this section.
 
 
'''4th Category “Starting Year”'''
 
 
Publishing year is added here. This allows the manifesto to be associated to the different years that make up the subcategories in this section.
 
 
'''5th Category “Authors”'''
 
 
All of the manifesto’s participating authors are recorded here by First Name, Last Name. This allows the manifesto to be associated to the different authors that make up the subcategories in this section.
 
 
'''6th Category “Publishers”'''
 
 
All of the manifesto publishers or editors are recorded here. This allows the manifesto to be associated to the different publishers that make up the subcategories in this section.
 
Since many manifestos are self-published and self-distributed on the web, it is not always possible to locate a manifesto’s specific publisher. For example, Aaron Swartz’s manifesto does not have a publisher, thus it is not included in this category.
 
 
== '''Adding the image''' ==
 
 
The index card includes an image of the manifesto.
 
 
To extract a manifesto image, a browser add-on called Nimbus Screen Screenshot might be used. The add-on, available for free for Mozilla, Chrome, Android and PC can be dowloaded at the following link:
 
https://nimbus.everhelper.me/screenshot.php
 
Many other existing programs offering the same functions might be used.
 
 
Once the manifesto screenshot has been taken, the file is uploaded to the wiki following the instructions on “how to upload a file”:
 
http://dpya.org/en/index.php/How_to_upload_a_file
 
 
Keep in mind to select “Align:Right”, “Format:thumbnail” for the manifesto image.
 
 
== '''Uploading the file''' ==
 
 
Follow the instructions on “How to upload a file”: http://dpya.org/en/index.php/How_to_upload_a_file
