(Todo: categorizing issues by magazine, which may involve a bob template)

The bare minimum

To create a page, first you should have:

  • A scan or photo of an issue's table of contents page, at least mostly readable
  • The name of the magazine, the issue number (if it has one), and the date of the issue


Step 1: Upload the table of contents page(s). The filename must start with the name of the magazine, and it should include the date or issue number, preferably both.
Example: Famitsu 0381 1996-04-05 toc.jpg


Step 2: Create a page with the name in this format:
(todo, but Famitsu Issue 0381 (1996-04-05) is fine, gonna play with some other issues and formats before I commit)


Step 3: At minimum, a page needs:

  • {{start}} at the top of the page (unless you complete steps 4 and 5)
  • an Images for transcription section at the bottom, containing all scans/photos of the issue's table of contents


At this point, you can save the page. The following steps can be done later, or by other editors.

Later steps

Step 4: Create an empty table for each section of the table of contents.

Title Page
{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
! Title !! Page
|-
||  || 
|}
Japanese English Page
{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
! Japanese !! English !! Page
|-
||  ||  || 
|}


Step 5: Fill the empty table with placeholders {{transcribe}} or {{unreadable}}. (For non-English, don't add {{to-en}} yet)


(When you get to this point, you can remove the {{start}} from the page)


Step 6: Wherever you see a {{transcribe}} placeholder, inspect the scan/image of the table of contents and replace the placeholder with that text. If the text is non-English, then in the next column add a {{to-en}} placeholder where the translated text can go.
