Design pages on VexiWiki are places where people can share, look at, and comment on flag designs.
Sharing[]
To share a design, use these steps:
- Upload a PNG, GIF, or SVG image of the design under the name:
"FlagDesign(what the flag represents)-(designer's initials).(png, gif, or svg)"
- In the search box, enter the name of the person, place, thing, or idea you want to share a flag design for.
- At the bottom of the article, look for a box that reads, "VexiWiki has a design page for (flag)". If there is one, click on the link provided in the box, which will appear as blue letters. If they apear as red letters, see below.
- If the page does exist, click on the link provided on the top of the page.
- Use the designer's name as the title.
- Insert the following:
{{subst:NewDesign|Image name|Description of design|Description of symbolism}}
Commenting[]
To comment on a design, use these steps:
- In the "Comments" section of the entry, click "edit".
- Insert your comment in the following format, putting your comment on the bottom of the page:
*'''(Support, Oppose, or Neutral)''' (insert your comment(s) here) ~~~~
Creating a new design page[]
If you would like to create a new design page, please follow these instructions:
- Make sure the title of the design page begins with Design:, so readers will know it is a design page.
- To create the page, just insert the following text (substituting "flag" for the title of the design page; Design:New Zealand is used as an example):
{{designtop|New_Zealand}}
- For titles with spaces, use a _ instead of a space.
- Add the Vdesign template to the bottom of the real flag's article, using the following code:
{{Vdesign}}
- The design page should be ready for use now.
