<p><b>New page</b></p><div>This page describes how to add a new instrument to [[:Category:Wikipedians by musical instrument]]. To complete the task with zero red links, you must create 5 categories and 5 templates. The following example deals with the organ.<br />
<br />
==The main category==<br />
<br />
Create <code>Category:Wikipedian ''ist''</code>, replacing ''ist'' with the name that is used to refer to people who play the specific instrument. See [[:Category:Wikipedians by musical instrument]] for previous naming conventions. Insert code in the following format, changing the two parameter values:<br />
<br />
<pre>{{user instrument category<br />
| instrument-code = org<br />
| instrument-name = [[organ (music)|organ]]<br />
}}</pre><br />
<br />
* <code>instrument-code</code> is the abbreviation that appears on the left side of the userbox. Please try to avoid using instrument codes which should be used for a language under the [[ISO 639]] designation system. The language system should take precedence over spin-off systems where code clashes are likely to occur.<br />
* <code>instrument-name</code> is the name of the instrument, linked to the article about the instrument.<br />
<br />
The following will appear at the top of the category: a box and an alphabetical [[Template:CategoryTOC|table of contents]]:<br />
<br />
{{user blank|org|These users play the '''[[organ (music)|organ]]'''.}}<br />
{{-}}<br />
{{CategoryTOC}}<br />
<br />
==4 level-specific subcategories==<br />
<br />
In the previous step, you created <code>Category:Wikipedian ''ist''</code>. Now, create the following 4 subcategories:<br />
<br />
* <code>Category:Wikipedian ''ist''-1</code><br />
* <code>Category:Wikipedian ''ist''-2</code><br />
* <code>Category:Wikipedian ''ist''-3</code><br />
* <code>Category:Wikipedian ''ist''-4</code><br />
<br />
For the first subcategory, insert the following code, replacing the parameter values as in the first step:<br />
<br />
<pre>{{user instrument subcategory<br />
| instrument-code = org<br />
| instrument-name = [[organ (music)|organ]]<br />
| ist = organist<br />
| level = 1<br />
}}</pre><br />
<br />
* <code>ist</code> is in singular form here.<br />
* <code>level</code> is the skill level, one of 1, 2, 3, or 4. All 4 subcategories have the exact same code except for their <code>level</code>.<br />
<br />
After creation, this box will appear in the subcategory:<br />
<br />
{{user blank-1|org|These users play the '''[[organ (music)|organ]]''' at a '''[[:Category:Wikipedian organists-1|novice]]''' level.}}<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==4 level-specific templates==<br />
<br />
For each of the subcategories that you've just made, create the corresponding templates at the following locations:<br />
<br />
* <code>Template:User ''<code>ist</code>''-1</code><br />
* <code>Template:User ''<code>ist</code>''-2</code><br />
* <code>Template:User ''<code>ist</code>''-3</code><br />
* <code>Template:User ''<code>ist</code>''-4</code><br />
<br />
The code is the almost same as above:<br />
<br />
<pre>{{user instrument<br />
| instrument-code = [[organ (music)|org]]<br />
| ist = organist<br />
| level = 1<br />
}}</pre><br />
<br />
This is what the userbox will look like when people put them on their user pages.<br />
<br />
{{user blank-1|[[organ (music)|org]]|This user is a '''[[:Category:Wikipedian organists-1|novice]] [[:Category:Wikipedian organists|organist]]'''.}}<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==The general template==<br />
<br />
This final template allows a user to say that he or she plays an instrument without specifying the skill level. Create it at Template:User ''ist''.<br />
<br />
<pre>{{user instrument-gen<br />
| instrument-code = organ<br />
| instrument-name = organ<br />
| instrument-link = organ (instrument)<br />
| ist = organist<br />
}}</pre><br />
<br />
{{user instrument-gen<br />
| instrument-code = organ<br />
| instrument-name = organ<br />
| instrument-link = organ (instrument)<br />
| ist = organist<br />
| category =<br />
}}<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==Spread the word==<br />
<br />
People can now use these templates. To make them known, list them at [[Wikipedia:Instruments]] using {{tl|Instrument}}.<br />
