wpPicmark helps tag images and stuff.
Phases of wpPicmark
editwpPicmark works in three phases:
- 0. This really isn't a phase, but first the user selects which template to use.
- 1. Post the selected tag to the image page
- 2. If applicable, post a message to the talk page of the uploader
- 3. If applicable, post a message to a related process page (e.g., WP:IFD or WP:PUI)
When the required number of phases has completed (the number varies per selected template), the application shuts down.
Layout
edit- 1. The drop-down selection list. All available image-tagging templates, with a brief description, can be selected. Once one is selected, the drop-down box becomes disabled, and the red form appears.
- 2. The link here indicates to which page text in the textbox will be posted. If you hover over the link, the phase of the template is indicated. (e.g., "Phase 1")
- 3. The "change" button allows you to change the title of a page. For example, if you want to warn someone other than the uploader, the user talk page location can be changed
- 4. The content in the textbox will be added to the page indicated by the link. When going through the phases, wpPicmark selects the text that should normally be added; however, you can change it because first, you may need to, and second, all edits must be confirmed (unless you're a bot). For example, if the wikitext of a user talk page is:
Content
other content, and stuff
interesting content
SPAMIf the textbox in wpPicmark has the text
==Bad user==
Don't do that. ~~~~
Don't do that. ~~~~
Upon submitting, the wikitext of the user talk page would look like this:
Content
other content, and stuff
interesting content
SPAM
==Bad user==
- 5. The edit summary. A default one is provided; however, you may change it if you wish.
- 6. These buttons indicate whether this is a minor edit, and whether you should watch the page. These values can be changed with user preferences.
- 7. The submit button. When you click it, rest assured that (unless you can't connect to the server) an edit will be made.
- 8. The skip button either goes to the next phase, or ends the application.

User preferences
editThere are a couple of user preference variables. However, Gracenotes is too lazy to document them.
