A Form (using [[Page Forms]] is something that is an interface for filling in values for a template.<br /> <br /> For an example of how this shakes out, see<br /> [[:Category:Participant]]<br /> [[Template:Participant]]<br /> [[Form:Participant]]<br /> <br /> * go to a `Category:CategoryName` page, creating it if it doesn't already exist.<br /> * Click &quot;Create schema&quot; in top right<br /> * If you want a form, check the &quot;Form&quot; box. it is possible to make a schema without a form. The schema just defines what pages will be generated, and the generated pages can be further edited afterwards (note that this might make them inconsistent with the schema)<br /> * Click &quot;add template&quot; If you are only planning on having one template per category, name the template the same thing as the category.<br /> * Add fields! Each field can have a corresponding form input (with a type, eg. a textbox, token input, date selector, etc.) and a semantic property.<br /> * Once you're finished, save the schema<br /> * Click &quot;Generate pages&quot; on the category page. Typically you want to uncheck any pages that are already bluelinks so you don't overwrite them. You might have to do the 'generate pages' step a few times, and it can take a few minutes, bc it's pretty buggy.<br /> |Link=https://discord.com/channels/1029514961782849607/1038988750677606432/1041073096687370250<br /> }}</div>
