Creating new pages

Use of the listed templates, to auto generate links

• Use templates
• link new categories to the tree
• Use common manufacturer and family names so they are combined together. Search first.

Dieshots

Create dieshot's page

1. Search for common names of manufactures and families to use in template
2. Add dieshot to a page
   • Page name should be "Manufacturer - PartNumber", for example "Intel - A80186-16"
4. Fill out template's variables

Manufacturers

Create a manufacturer page

1. First search the site to see if it already exists
2. Use the name the manufacturer is most know by. For example:

   • AMD, not Advanced Micro Devices, Inc
3. Enter the name here and fill out the variables
5. If all goes well, the page will automatically list all Manufacturer's families

Categories

Create needed categories for automated listings

• If it is not already done, you need to link new manufacturer, family and manufacturer-family categories into the category tree for the automated linking to work. Keep the following directory structure.
• Example:
  • category:Main
    • category:Manufacturers
      • category:AMD
        • category:AMD - 486 family
    • category:Families
      • category:486 family
    • category:Chip types
      • category:CPU

2. If all goes well manufacturer, family and manufacturer's families pages will auto generate links

Notes

1. You may not have the exact part number, or the dieshot may apply to multiple parts. You may only know the family, model or core name. Just do your best to be as specific and accurate as possible.
2. Use templates when ever possible.
3. Use the common manufacturer/family names used on this site for auto linking to work properly.
