Before Uploading Memes
NAFO creates hundreds of memes a week. The goal of Bonkipedia is to document as many of them as we can. Obviously that is too much for a small team, so we ask that users help us upload new memes to share with the community.
Please check if the meme has already been uploaded!
How to Make a New Meme Page
Step 0: Check if the Meme has Already Been Uploaded
Memes have to be titled to be searchable, and what someone else thinks the "name" of a meme is might not be what you think it is. Try various key words or check in the categories. This is why it is also very important to include key words on your page and categorize the meme in a way other people can find it.
Note: There are a few ways to create and edit pages on wikis, but this is the preferred way to keep pages consistent. You are welcome to create pages in another way, but please check that the text in Step 3: Edit Contents of Page is the same so the formatting works.
Step 1: Upload File of the Meme
On the left-hand side of the screen, under "Wiki Tools" there is a link to the page to "Upload File".
Step 2: Create New Page with Meme
Step 3: Edit Contents of Page
Meme Page Checklist
Every Meme Page MUST have the following information blocks:
- Categories (only seen on the "Edit Source" side of editing)
- Image of the Meme
- Title of the Meme
- Creator of the Meme (if unknown, put unknown. If you think you might know, put (??) in front of the name, and message that person to find out).
- Tags (as many as possible relating to the content, the message of the meme, any references
Optional
- Any additional context (i.e. for historical references, what is the reference and why is it being cited)
- Additional comments from the creator (i.e. additional text from the tweet it was originally posted with)
