<h1><span class="mw-headline" id="Attachments">Attachments</span></h1>
<p>With very few exceptions, we want attachments to be on the same page as their parent unit because it doesn't help anybody to have them in different places. But this means the page setup is slightly more complex due to the way the abilities auto-categorise the page. The thing is, if an attachment has different abilities to the parent unit, we want <i>just</i> the attachment to be in that category, not the parent unit as well.
</p>
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Step_1:_Suppress_the_auto-categorisation">Step 1: Suppress the auto-categorisation</span></h3>
<p>When you add the attachment's abilities to the page, you need to suppress the auto-categorisation to stop the parent unit being "tagged" with the ability. The way to do this is:
</p>
<dl><dd> <span style="background-color: #F0F0F0; width: 32px; border-style: outset; border-width: 1px; margin:0; padding:0 3px 0 3px; clear:none; font-weight:bold;">{{Ability|Hide_Cat=}}</span></dd>
<dd> For example, : <span style="background-color: #F0F0F0; width: 32px; border-style: outset; border-width: 1px; margin:0; padding:0 3px 0 3px; clear:none; font-weight:bold;">{{Undead|Hide_Cat=}}</span> would add the text description of Undead to a page, but not add the page to <a href="/index.php?title=Category:Undead" title="Category:Undead">Category:Undead</a>.</dd></dl>
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Step_2:_Create_a_.22dummy.22_page_for_the_attachment">Step 2: Create a "dummy" page for the attachment</span></h3>
<p>"Dummy" pages should follow the naming scheme <span style="background-color: #F0F0F0; width: 32px; border-style: outset; border-width: 1px; margin:0; padding:0 3px 0 3px; clear:none; font-weight:bold;">PARENT UNIT:ATTACHMENT NAME (TYPE)</span>. For example, <span style="background-color: #F0F0F0; width: 32px; border-style: outset; border-width: 1px; margin:0; padding:0 3px 0 3px; clear:none; font-weight:bold;">Holy Zealots:Monolith Bearer (CA)</span>
</p>
<ol><li> Open a new tab in your browser, and navigate to the page <span style="background-color: #F0F0F0; width: 32px; border-style: outset; border-width: 1px; margin:0; padding:0 3px 0 3px; clear:none; font-weight:bold;">http://battlecollege.org/index.php/PARENT UNIT:ATTACHMENT NAME (TYPE)</span></li></ol>
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Step_3:_Populate_the_dummy_page">Step 3: Populate the dummy page</span></h3>
<ol><li> Set this page up as a redirect to the parent unit.</li>
<li> Add the attachment's abilities to the appropriate category.</li></ol>
<dl><dd> For example:</dd></dl>
<pre>#redirect [[Holy Zealots]]
[[Category:Officer]]
[[Category:Command Attachment]]
[[Category:Minifeat]]

<ol><li> At the top of the page, under <span style="background-color: #F0F0F0; width: 32px; border-style: outset; border-width: 1px; margin:0; padding:0 3px 0 3px; clear:none; font-weight:bold;">Tools</span>, you want to use the <span style="background-color: #F0F0F0; width: 32px; border-style: outset; border-width: 1px; margin:0; padding:0 3px 0 3px; clear:none; font-weight:bold;">Upload a File</span> feature.</li>
<li> In the page you're creating, near the top, you want to find the part that says <span style="background-color: #F0F0F0; width: 32px; border-style: outset; border-width: 1px; margin:0; padding:0 3px 0 3px; clear:none; font-weight:bold;">|rowspan=99|[[File:No image available.png|200px]]</span> and change it to your file name.
<ul><li> For instance, if you've uploaded an image called "BurritoCannon_Web300.jpg" then you'll need to change the page to say<br/> <span style="background-color: #F0F0F0; width: 32px; border-style: outset; border-width: 1px; margin:0; padding:0 3px 0 3px; clear:none; font-weight:bold;">|rowspan=99|[[File:BurritoCannon_Web300.jpg|200px]]</span></li></ul></li></ol>
