Bulbanews:Article submission

The main namespace of Bulbanews is and will be permanently protected against editing by the general public. In order to facilitate public editing, we have created a Draft namespace.

To submit an article, one merely has to create a page in the Draft namespace. The title should use capital letters only where necessary - sentence case titles, such as Nintendo reveals DS online plans or Pokémon Movie 8 premiers in Japan, are preferred. However, one should also take care to not submit articles already submitted by others. The Bulbanews front page lists the most recently submitted articles under the Developing stories heading.

Warning: repeatedly submitting duplicate articles may lead to a block.

The heart of any "real" article on Bulbanews is the {{Article}} template. The very first 10 characters of any article must be {{Article|, otherwise it will be passed over by the front page updater. A summary of usage follows:

Article metadata
type	One of breaking, lead, feature, news or local
picture	A picture for the front page (see the manual of style), or none
weekday	The full weekday name, i.e. Wednesday, not Wed.
day	The day of the month of publication (do not prepend 0 for single-digit)
month	The month of publication (do not prepend 0 for single-digit)
year	The four-digit year of publication
discusstype	See Bulbanews:Linking to discussions
discusslink
sourcetype	See Bulbanews:Crediting sources
sourcename
sourcelink
tagline	A secondary headline (See the manual of style)
blurb	A lead that would be used on the front page (See the manual of style)

After the article metadata, please insert one or more {{CategorizeIn}} codes:

{{CategorizeIn|Category|Month|Year}}

If there are more than one, please put them all on one line.
