User blog:Shurow/Club Penguin Wiki History Tables

Okay, so lately I've been having a lot of problems with wiki tables. Some users are not filling them out correctly and adding them to Item articles that don't need them. Some users still don't even know how to create them (I'm looking at you Roger). So in this blog I will explain how to create them as easily as I can.

Okay, so there are 3 types of wiki tables. A Catalog Item wiki table, Free Item wiki table, and Pin wiki table.

The Pin wiki table is the simplest and least complex of the three. They only contain 2 sections.

This parameter ONLY goes on pin articles.

Note: When filling out the table DO NOT go by the date in the Stamp book.

The next type of wiki table is the Free Item wiki table. They contain 4 sections.

These wiki tables go on articles that were free items at the party. This includes clothing and furniture. When filling out the Available from section you add the day the party it was released at started, and when filling out the Available until section you add the day the party ended.

The third and final wiki table is the Catalog item wiki table. It is probably the most complicated of the three. They contain 3 sections.

This wiki table only goes on clothing and furniture item articles for items that were released in catalogs. This includes normal catalogs such as the Penguin Style catalog and party catalogs such as the Hollywood Party Catalog.

Now look closely, because if you don't pay attention this can be very confusing and you might mess things up. When filling out the Available from section you go to the article for the catalog for which the item was released, go to the section "Release History" for the catalog and add the release date of the catalog the item was released in.

Now the Available until section is the trickiest. In that section you add the date the item was removed from that catalog. (Again you can find that date in the "Release History" section of that catalog article). To find when the date the item was removed, you can do what I do. What I do is, go to Clubpenuin Memories, look through the images of his catalogs, find the catalog the item was released. When you find it you get the release date of that catalog and add it to the Available until section. I hope that makes sense.

I tried to make this as simple as possible. If you have anymore questions, ask them in the comments!
