How to add a flerf

Creating a page

Easiest way is to use the search function at the top to search for the Flerf you might want to add or edit. If there is no such page or results you will be given the opportunity to create a page for the searched term (click the red link).

Templates to copy and paste

Infobox

This goes at the beginning of the page. Remove any unknown fields (this will display the template defaults), and make sure there is only one | separating fields. If you are making a page for an ex-flerf, set drinksUrine=exflerf and it will hide all fields exclusive to flerfs.

{{Infobox
| image       = File:UPLOADED_FILE.png
| caption     = IMAGE CAPTION
| realName    = REALNAME HERE
| alias       = SOME ALIASES
| location    = LOCATION HERE
| platform    = NAME OF ONE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM ONLY
| papa        = [[SOME FLERF]]
| antisemite  = yes/no
| religiflerf = yes/no
| drinksUrine = yes/no (or 'exflerf')
}}

Known accounts

This is where readers will find links to the flerf's various accounts. Add the list/table underneath a Level 2 heading:

== Known accounts ==

A table is a good idea if the flerf has many accounts across many platforms:

Note: items in the first row, separated by !!, are the column headings.

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Known accounts
|-
! Platform !! Account !! Status
|-
| NAME OF A PLATFORM || [account_link ACCOUNT NAME] || Banned/Active
|-
| NAME OF A PLATFORM || [account_link ACCOUNT NAME] || Banned/Active
|-
| NAME OF A PLATFORM || [account_link ACCOUNT NAME] || Banned/Active
|-
|}

Alternatively, you could use a simple bullet list:

* [account_link ACCOUNT NAME—PLATFORM NAME]
* [account_link ACCOUNT NAME—PLATFORM NAME]

To get account links to display properly, replace account_link with a link to the account, and ACCOUNT NAME with the name of the account, making sure to leave a space between the two. It should look something like this.

Notable appearances

You may wish to add a list of the flerf's debates and/or appearances. This should also be underneath a Level 2 heading:

== Notable appearances ==

If there are many debates/appearances and/or you wish to add notes, a table is a good idea:

Note: items in the first row, separated by !!, are the column headings.

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Notable appearances
|-
! Date !! Venue !! Participants !! Link !! Notes
|-
| DATE || VENUE || PARTICIPANTS || [link PLATFORM] || NOTES
|-
| DATE || VENUE || PARTICIPANTS || [link PLATFORM] || NOTES
|-
|}

If there are relatively few and notes are not needed, a simple bullet list may suffice:

* [link "DEBATE NAME"—VENUE]
* [link "DEBATE NAME"—VENUE]

Remember to replace link with a link to the debate.

Category

Add categories at the bottom of the page by using the syntax [[Category:Category name here]].

• Category:Flerfs should be used only if no other categories apply.
• Add a category for the platform they are known for (e.g., Category:YouTube flerfs).
• Add a category for their nationality (e.g., Category:American flerfs).
• Add Category:Flerfzis and/or Category:Religiflerfs as needed.

Other things to add

You may also wish to add:

• What they are known for
• Notable incidents
• Criminal record
• A list of their claims/lies
• Other weird theories they adhere to
• Whatever you like
