Here's how you can download the bib you were assigned in the Source-a-Thon registration and use it to create a sticker for your profile.
- Download the image from the G2G comment to your computer desktop. It will be a png file.
- Go to this page: Source-a-Thon Sandbox
- Check to see if the image is already uploaded to this page by looking at the table on the left.
If your bib image is already on this list, follow these steps:
- Click on the image in the table. It will take you to a standard image page.
- Scroll down to examples within gray highlighting under “Use Inside Text”.
- Copy the file name. For example: DuBois_Family_Footlocker_Image_Cabinet-5.png
- Now adjust the following bit of code. You will need to change the team information inside the square brackets and the name of your bib png file following bib=
- {{Source-a-Thon|team=[[Space:Welsh_Dragons|Welsh Dragons]]|year=2023|sources=000|bib=DuBois_Family_Footlocker_Image_Cabinet-5.png}}
- {{Source-a-Thon|team=[[Space:Welsh_Dragons|Welsh Dragons]]|year=2023|sources=000|bib=DuBois_Family_Footlocker_Image_Cabinet-5.png}}
- Go into Edit mode on your profile page and insert the code BELOW the Biography heading
If your bib is not on the FSP, follow these steps:
- Upload your bib image in the same way you would upload an image to any profile. (If you have a personal FSP for images, you can load it there too.
- You may discover that a previous wearer of the same bib has already uploaded the image. In that case you just want to grab the name of the png file when you copy the image address.
- On the image page, scroll down to examples within gray highlighting under “Use Inside Text”.
- Copy the file name. For example: DuBois_Family_Footlocker_Image_Cabinet-5.png
- Now adjust the following bit of code. You will need to change the team information inside the square brackets and the name of your bib png file following bib=
- {{Source-a-Thon|team=[[Space:Welsh_Dragons|Welsh Dragons]]|year=2023|sources=000|bib=DuBois_Family_Footlocker_Image_Cabinet-5.png}}
- {{Source-a-Thon|team=[[Space:Welsh_Dragons|Welsh Dragons]]|year=2023|sources=000|bib=DuBois_Family_Footlocker_Image_Cabinet-5.png}}
- Go into Edit mode on your profile page and insert the code BELOW the Biography heading

HELP!! I am good at tech, I understand Wiki... but I don't understand the instructions. What did I do wrong?
The image was already assigned to both your profile and the sandbox. I added it to the list of bibs on the page. That step is a little fussy. You're all set. Happy Sourcing!
Cheers, Betsy
Your bib image is now uploaded and showing in the table. Click on the tiny image to get to the image page itself.
Cheers, Betsy
I see that you've successfully uploaded your bib image to the sandbox. It's also showing in the list. If you click on the tiny icon for it, it will take you to an image page just like for any other image on WikiTree. If you scroll down and look on the right hand side of the page, you'll see options to use your bib image as a profile image or to embed it in the text of your bio. This is optional and just for fun. If you're on social media, you can also share it there to let others know what you're up to next weekend.
I hope I've answered your question. If not, please let me know!
Betsy
I just uploaded your bib image to the sandbox. You don't need to do anything further.
Happy Sourcing!

I was a little grouchy during the Chiefs game last night, and all the unfamiliar instructions regarding changing the name of bib image seemed like the last straw. Sorry.
Can we participate without the code. This is above my skill or patience level. My apologies.
That's completely fine. You don't need to do anything with your bib image in order to be a part of this event. It's good to know your bib number, but don't worry about it beyond that.
Happy Sourcing!

Please look for a private message from me. It was easier for me to send you wiki code that way.
Thanks, Betsy
I just replied to one of your private messages to me. Don't worry; we'll get you sorted out!
