wpPicmark helps tag images and stuff.

Phases of wpPicmark[edit]

wpPicmark works in three phases:

0. This really isn't a phase, but first the user selects which template to use.
1. Post the selected tag to the image page
2. If applicable, post a message to the talk page of the uploader
3. If applicable, post a message to a related process page (e.g., WP:IFD or WP:PUI)

When the required number of phases has completed (the number varies per selected template), the application shuts down.

1. The drop-down selection list. All available image-tagging templates, with a brief description, can be selected. Once one is selected, the drop-down box becomes disabled, and the red form appears.
2. The link here indicates to which page text in the textbox will be posted. If you hover over the link, the phase of the template is indicated. (e.g., "Phase 1")
3. The "change" button allows you to change the title of a page. For example, if you want to warn someone other than the uploader, the user talk page location can be changed
4. The content in the textbox will be added to the page indicated by the link. When going through the phases, wpPicmark selects the text that should normally be added; however, you can change it because first, you may need to, and second, all edits must be confirmed (unless you're a bot). For example, if the wikitext of a user talk page is:

Content
other content, and stuff
interesting content

SPAM

If the textbox in wpPicmark has the text

==Bad user==

Don't do that. ~~~~

Upon submitting, the wikitext of the user talk page would look like this:

Content
other content, and stuff
interesting content
SPAM

==Bad user==

Don't do that. [[User:You]] 00:00, 01 January 1970 (UTC)

5. The edit summary. A default one is provided; however, you may change it if you wish.
6. These buttons indicate whether this is a minor edit, and whether you should watch the page. These values can be changed with user preferences.
7. The submit button. When you click it, rest assured that (unless you can't connect to the server) an edit will be made.
8. The skip button either goes to the next phase, or ends the application.

This script may swallow your cat.

There are a couple of user preference variables. However, Gracenotes is too lazy to document them.
