Notes

• When a new week begins, the template will return a special result to help users enter that week's information.
  • The result will look like this: {{#widget:TravelerUnknown}}
  1. Click on "click here" and a small form will pop up.
  2. Enter the name of the item Nick is collecting this week. (The form uses the wiki's auto-complete functionality to help users find the correct spelling of the item name.)
  3. Press "Enter," click "Go," or click on an item in the auto-complete list.
  4. The form will redirect to the edit form for the item's article. The [[../editintro|/editintro]] template will be displayed above the edit box, which gives instructions on how to add Nick's info to the article.
  5. After adding the traveler * parameters to the infobox and saving the page, this template will automatically update with the new info.
• To add the information manually, you can simply edit the item's page directly and add the following parameters to the ItemInfo template:

 | traveler date = YYYYMMDD
 | traveler date2 = YYYYMMDD
 | traveler date3 = YYYYMMDD
 | traveler date4 = YYYYMMDD
 | traveler location = <area>
 | traveler quantity = #

• The [[../index|/index]] template assumes a repeating cycle of 137 weeks.
• MediaWiki can take up to an hour to update the information.
