[edit] Adding a picture
Currently only moderators and administrators can upload a picture. So, if you have one and there already isn't one for that piece of clothing, find yourself one of them and send them the picture to be uploaded!
If the image does exist (and be sure to search for it, sometimes it's there!) all you have to do is copy down the name and put it in the "image" field of the template and it'll show up. It's that easy!
[edit] Preview & Save
Once all your information is entered into the template, click "Show Preview" at the bottom and make sure that everything looks ok. If something is wrong, check the template and fix any errors. Once everything looks good, click "Save Page" and pat yourself on the back -- you've helped make the DiploWiki even better!
If you want to add something to the page that you cannot enter in the notes= line, you should insert it immediately above or below the {{ClothingDetails|{{PAGENAME}}}} line.
