Category:AboutUsBadges

AboutUs and our community have placed "badges" on various article pages, user pages, help page and other pages on our wiki to help organize data and signify various communities, interests and portals. Feel free to create your own.

Current Badges

Please add your badge here. This will not only show off your work, but it will also ensure that your badge works okay on pages that might have several badges.

Create your own

Creating your own badge is as easy as making a template. To ensure that your badge will work along side others, there are a few standard guidelines:

• Size: Badges should be 150px x 57px. As you can see from the current badges below, by maintaining these sizes, they will correctly align with each other. NOTE: many graphics programs (including OmniGraffle, which is quite popular among AboutUs staff) place a small white border around images when they are saved. In most of these cases, this can be changed via preferences or during the save process (in the case of OmniGraffle). Please take this into account when creating your badges.

• Code: In order to get the images to click correctly via the template, use this code, changing PageLink to the page that this badge will redirect to, and the http://images.aboutus.org/images/a/ab/YourImage.png to the permanent URL for your badge image:

• Placement on DomainPages: Generally, we're placing badge in the "Domain_Page" section of an article page (in the case of DomainPages). On a DomainPage, add a badges = {{YourBadge}} | into the "Domain_Page" template, like so:

• Placement on other pages: Badges can also go on individual UserPages as well as other WikiPages, simply by adding them to the page like any other template. These will default to the left side of the page, but the way these are constructed, a "magic pipe" can changed the orientation. Simply add {{YourBadge|right}} to have your badge float on the right side of the page.
