How to Create a Tool Page

Contents

Definition

A tool page is a central repository of all information iFixit has for a specific tool.

Each tool page contains the following:

  • Name of the tool
  • Type of tool
  • Product code (if a tool is being sold by iFixit)
  • Summary of the tool's usage
  • Image of a tool

Creation

Follow the format outlined in this example tool page.

To create a tool page, copy this link into the address bar: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Tool/Tool_Na.... Change "Tool_Name" to whatever the name is of your tool. For example, if you are creating a tool page for an 8" Phillips Screwdriver, the link in the address bar should read http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Tool/8"_Phillips_Screwdriver. Go to that wiki page and click on the "Create this article" link to start editing the page.

Overview of the default code:

{tool

|name=8" Phillips Screwdriver
