NetworkWeaver:WikiLesson:MyLocation
|
Why is this important?
One way NetworkWeavers connect is by geography. This set of badges is for your location. Putting these badges on your page does two things.
- First, it gives anyone looking at your page this information about you, where you live/work.
- Second, it puts you into a category with other people who live/work in that same spot so you can find each other.
What will my page look like when I'm done?
Something like this (with your information, of course):
I'm a NetworkWeaver
I live in 98122
I live in Seattle
I live in Washington
I live in United States
I live in Pacific Northwest
How do I do it? (in 5 easy steps)
-
Copy this WikiText to your page, in the badge area.
{{Badge:AsANetworkWeaverILiveIn|MyPostalCode}} {{Badge:AsANetworkWeaverILiveIn|MyCity}} {{Badge:AsANetworkWeaverILiveIn|MyStateOrProvince}} {{Badge:AsANetworkWeaverILiveIn|MyCountry}} {{Badge:AsANetworkWeaverILiveIn|MyRegion}}
-
Click Save page and your page should have new badges that look like this:
I live in MyPostalCode
I live in MyCity
I live in MyStateOrProvince
I live in MyCountry
I live in MyRegion
-
Now edit your page again and replace MyPostalCode with your postal code, MyCity with your city, etc., so that your WikiText looks something like this:
{{Badge:AsANetworkWeaverILiveIn|98122}} {{Badge:AsANetworkWeaverILiveIn|Seattle}} {{Badge:AsANetworkWeaverILiveIn|Washington}} {{Badge:AsANetworkWeaverILiveIn|United States}} {{Badge:AsANetworkWeaverILiveIn|Pacific Northwest}}
- Click Save page.
- All done!
