* This creates a predefined photographer article. Follow the instructions and comments given on the new page and return to this page when you are done. You can add text and details later.

type=create
'''name'''
buttonlabel=Create photographer's article
* Text. The name of the photographer.
break=no
* Required.
default=[Enter photographer's name]
* Please note that this parameter has no name. Simply type the photographer's name '''without''' a parameter name.
preload=Template:New photographerarticle
 
</inputbox>
'''link'''
* Any text. You can use "1", "y" or whatever you like. As soon as the parameter has any content, the home page link is displayed.
* Optional. <code>''&lt;text&gt;''</code> or the whole parameter <code>link=''&lt;text&gt;''</code> can be omitted.
 
'''location'''
* Any text. You can use "1", "y" or whatever you like. As soon as the parameter has any content, the location is displayed.
* Optional. <code>''&lt;text&gt;''</code> or the whole parameter <code>location=''&lt;text&gt;''</code> can be omitted.
 
'''nocategory'''
* Any text. You can use "1", "y" or whatever you like. As soon as the parameter has any content, no category is added to your article. This may be helpful if you use the template on a page that is not intended to be listed in the photographer's article (e. g. if you just mention a photographer on a discussion page).
* Optional. <code>''&lt;text&gt;''</code> or the whole parameter <code>nocategory=''&lt;text&gt;''</code> can be omitted.
 
=== Examples ===
{| border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" style="text-align:center;border:1px solid #ccc;"

!colspan="2" style="background:#ccc;"| Article exists
|- style="background:#eee;"
| <nowiki>{{photographer|Martin Perreault}}</nowiki> || {{photographer|Martin Perreault|nocategory=1}}
|-
| <nowiki>{{photographer|Martin Perreault|link=1}}</nowiki> || {{photographer|Martin Perreault|link=1|nocategory=1}}
|- style="background:#eee;"
| <nowiki>{{photographer|Martin Perreault|link=ok|location=y}}</nowiki> || {{photographer|Martin Perreault|link=ok|location=y|nocategory=1}}
|-
| <nowiki>{{photographer|Martin Perreault|location=yes}}</nowiki> || {{photographer|Martin Perreault|location=yes|nocategory=1}}
|- valign="center"
!colspan="2" style="background:#ccc;"| Article does not exist
|- style="background:#eee;"
| <nowiki>{{photographer|The Honorable|link=1|location=1}}</nowiki> || {{photographer|The Honorable|link=1|location=1|nocategory=1}}
|- valign="center"
!colspan="2" style="background:#ccc;"| Required and optional parameters
|- style="background:#eee;"
| <nowiki>{{photographer|link=1|location=1}}</nowiki> || {{photographer|link=1|location=1|nocategory=1}}
|}
 
 
=== Usability ===
There are no restrictions. The template can be used anywhere within the text of an article.
 
You should, however, be aware that the layout of your text may change in an undesirable way if you specify all parameters for a photographer who has not a page yet. The simple sentence
 
: "Hexvoodoo always wanted to start a career as a photographer."
 
can become
 
: "[[user:Hexvoodoo|Hexvoodoo]] ([http://www.boobpedia.com home page]), Boobtown, Boobland always wanted to start a career as a photographer."
 
if he really gets an article some day. :-)


== Adding a photographer to an article without mentioning him in the text ==
== Template ==
If you do not want to mention the photographer' name in the text of your article, but would like your model to be listed on the photographer's page, just add a category at the end of your page:
This special template is a "data container" for your photographer. Editors can insert the name of your photographer in an article by using the {{tl|photographer}} template which gets the data directly from the template you are creating now. Your template will also be used as a source for your photographer's categories. If you need to change the photographer's data later (e. g. if he/she has a new home page), change this template. Please note that changing any data in the photographer's article will not affect your template. You have to apply changes in both.
The syntax is very simple:
 
<nowiki>[[</nowiki>Category:''&lt;name&gt;'']]
 
'''name'''
* Text. The name of the photographer.
 
Your model will be automatically listed on the photographer's page.
 
Note: The photographer page must exist! Otherwise a category link to a non-existing page will be created in your model's page. For more information on how to a photographer page, see below: [[Help:How to add a photographer#Creating a photographer page|Creating a photographer page]]
 
== Creating a photographer page ==
If you want to create a photographer page that automatically lists the models that have his name mentioned in their article, you cannot just create an article. There are certain steps that have to be followed. You have to
 
* create a template for the photographer,
* create a page for the photographer,
* create a category for the photographer.
 
You can use the buttons below to create all three and follow the instructions given on the respective new pages.
 
=== Template ===

  1. create an article,
  2. create a template,
  3. create categories.

There are predefined "half-ready" pages that help you. You can use the buttons below to go through all three steps and follow the instructions given on the respective new pages.
