	(When uploading images to the Wiki database, please use a short file name if possible, such as "JohnSmith.jpg".)		(When uploading images to the Wiki database, please use a short file name if possible, such as "JohnSmith.jpg".)

			'''March 2020 Tip:''' (Please read) [[MediaWiki:Uploadtext]]

	You should copy and paste that image title into an image code that looks like this: <nowiki>[[file:Smith.John.jpg\|John Smith]]</nowiki>. Then insert that complete image code into the very top of the boxer's page, above all other HTML code and text on that page (with some rare exceptions). (Add the "human code" immediately beneath the image code, if the human code is not already in the page.) Then you should consider editing that image code. We Wiki Editors have varying styles of how we like the images to look on a page. Images default to the right-hand side of the page. However, you can add the word "left" in a "framed" image, separated by a pipe \| and the image will be placed on the left-side of the page. (See the next paragraph, regarding reducing image size, for more information about separating HTML code with a pipe character.) A "framed" image will automatically generate a border around the image, and allows you to create a visible caption. The preference here, however, is to set the boxer's image immediately to the left of the boxer's BoxRec profile (name, hometown, nationaility, etc.). In this case, insert the word "left". Such as: <nowiki>[[file:Smith.John.jpg\|left\|John Smith]]</nowiki>. The far-right text of the image code is what will be seen by anyone moving his mouse over the image, and creates a visible caption for "thumbed" or "framed" images.

Otherwise the page may be deleted, because this is an English-only boxing encyclopaedia.

	'''Creating New Wiki ~~Boxing Encyclopaedia~~ Pages''': To start a brand-new page for a person (boxer, manager, referee, etc.) or any boxing-related subject, you can go to your own personal ~~Wiki~~ USER Page and edit it, then put in something like this <nowiki>[[Name of new person]]</nowiki>. You can create a page for any other boxing-related subject under the sun, so long as you use the double-brackets code to create a new link, which you will later click on after either saving or previewing your edited USER page. You then will get sent to an empty page with the name of the link you have just created, where you can enter text, photos and what-not. Another way to create a new page is to search for the title of your new page in the search box found on every Wiki page here. For example, you can put "Red Font" in the search box. If there is not already a Wiki boxing page named "Red Font," you will get a "Search result" that says "Create the page "[[Red Font]]" on this wiki!" -- and the phrase "Red Font" will be in red font. You then click on that red font phrase, which will bring you to an empty page that you can then fill in with text and image code and so on.		'''Creating New Wiki Pages''': To start a brand-new page for a person (boxer, manager, referee, etc.) or any boxing-related subject, you can go to your own personal wiki USER Page and edit it, then put in something like this <nowiki>[[Name of new person]]</nowiki>. You can create a page for any other boxing-related subject under the sun, so long as you use the double-brackets code to create a new link, which you will later click on after either saving or previewing your edited USER page. You then will get sent to an empty page with the name of the link you have just created, where you can enter text, photos and what-not.

	~~When creating~~ a "new~~" boxer's~~ page~~, please do~~ the ~~following: 1) do a "name search" using~~ the ~~Wiki Search Engine -- again, there is a~~ search box found on every ~~Wiki~~ page here~~; 2) if~~ you ~~cannot find any Wiki page for a boxer after performing a Wiki search, go through the BoxRec Fight Record~~ "~~Front Door~~" ~~instead of creating~~ a ~~new page for a pro boxer from your Wiki User page (or from any other Wiki~~ page, ~~for that matter). That is, do~~ a "~~Name~~ Search" at [~~http://boxrec.com/search.php BoxRec~~.~~com], see if that boxer already has a BoxRec Fight Record,~~ then click on ~~the blue book Wiki icon immediately beneath~~ that ~~boxer's profile~~, ~~and start editing his Wiki~~ page ~~from there. Otherwise, we could end up~~ with ~~duplicate Wiki pages for the same boxer~~.		Another way to create a new page is to search for the title of your new page in the search box found on every wiki page here. For example, you can put "Red Font" in the search box. If there is not already a wiki boxing page named "Red Font," you will get a "Search result" that says "Create the page "[[Red Font]]" on this wiki!" -- and the phrase "Red Font" will be in red font. You then click on that red font phrase, which will bring you to an empty page that you can then fill in with text and image code and so on.

	~~When~~ creating a brand-new boxer, please provide the rating country (e.g., USA) and default residence (Rochester, NY, USA) (or, at least the state: New York, USA). And weight division, if that can be determined. (Same goes for adding a new bout to the record of a boxer whose profile lacks any residence and/or rating country.) The fields for residence, rating country, weight division are readily available when you create a new record.		A further way to create a new, or edit an existing, wiki page associated with a person, bout, or show ("event"), that can be found in the BoxRec fight database, is to click on the wiki icon next to every person and event. (The wiki link to a bout can be found at the far-right side of your computer screen, by clicking on the icon of three small horizontal lines, which leads you to a menu of bouts options, and a back-door to its associated wiki page.)

			To create a "new" boxer's wiki page, you could: 1) do a "name search" using the wiki Search Engine (there is a search box found on every wiki page here); 2) if you cannot find any wiki page for a boxer after performing a wiki search, go through the BoxRec Fight Record "Front Door" instead of creating a new page for a pro boxer from your wiki User page (or from any other wiki page, for that matter). That is, do a "Name Search" to find if that boxer already has a BoxRec Fight Record, then click on the wiki icon located nearby, and start editing his wiki page from there.

			Also, when creating a brand-new boxer's page, please provide the rating country (e.g., USA) and default residence (Rochester, NY, USA) (or, at least the state: New York, USA). And weight division, if that can be determined. (Same goes for adding a new bout to the record of a boxer whose profile lacks any residence and/or rating country.) The fields for residence, rating country, weight division are readily available when you create a new record.

	Although the boxer will have only that one brand-new bout entry you've just entered, he had to have resided in the town of that one bout for at least that one bout--so that can be used as the default residence. As other bouts are later added to that record, it may turn out he was visiting that state (province, whatever) and actually resided elsewhere, so the profile can then be updated to reflect his true residence.

	'''Using Categories''': You can assign pages to various categories in the BoxRec Wikipedia. For example, if you want to put boxer Joe Smith in the "World Heavyweight Champions" Category, put the "World Heavyweight Champions" category code on that boxer's page. Generally speaking, place the "category code" at the bottom of the page. ''Note'': This code DOES NOT go onto your User Page, nor does it go onto the Category Page itself. It goes on the boxer's page. (Or if you are creating a new page concerning a boxing venue in London, for example, the "London Venues" Category Code would go onto THAT page you are creating.)
