Wikipedia:Campus Ambassadors/Trained ambassadors

This is a list of Campus Ambassadors who have been through official training and are available to assist with courses.

Adding your profile
Trained ambassadors should add their profile according to the examples above. NOTE: You must be logged into your Wikipedia user account to add your profile.

Step 0: Upload a photo
If you need to upload a photo for your profile, go to Wikimedia Commons and follow the instructions to upload your file. You can add the category "Wikipedia Ambassadors" to your picture.

Step 1: Add your University to the Interest List
Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Campus_Ambassadors, which is our Interest List. Is your affiliated university already on that page? If no, go to Step 1.a. If yes, skip to Step 1.b.

1.a
Add a section for your school using the Add a new school button. This creates an interest list for your university so that other people (instructors or potential Ambassadors) can sign up if they would like to get involved. Don't add yourself to that list, though; because you're a trained Ambassador, you'll create your profile on a separate subpage (Step 2 & 3) and then "transclude" (embed) that page into the Interest List (Step 4).

Now skip to Step 2.

1.b
On the Interest List (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Campus_Ambassadors), under your affiliated university's section, is there already a subsection for "Trained Campus Ambassadors"? If no, go to Step 2. If yes, skip to Step 3.

Step 2: Create "Trained Ambassadors" Subpage
Create a "Trained Ambassadors" subpage for your university, by typing "/Trained Ambassadors" at the end of the URL for your university's page. For example, if your affiliated school is Southern Wikipedia University, your full URL will look like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Campus_Ambassadors/Southern_Wikipedia_University/Trained_Ambassadors.

Once you're on the subpage, click the "Create" tab at the top.

Step 3: Create your profile
Add the following code to the subpage, replacing the parts in ALL CAPS with your own details:

If there is already a table like this on the subpage with another trained Ambassador's profile, you can just expand the table to include yours by repeating this part within the table code:


 * YOUR PICTURE.jpg
 * YOUR PICTURE.jpg


 * User:YOUR USERNAME
 * YOUR PROFILE OF ABOUT 100 WORDS

You've now added your profile to the "Trained Ambassadors" subpage of your university's page. This subpage can now be "transcluded" (embedded) into other pages. There are two places to transclude the subpage: the Interest List, and the Public Policy WikiProject.

Step 4: Transclude subpage into the Interest List
This step has two parts. We're going to first transclude the subpage into your university's page, and then transclude your university's page into the Interest List.

Step 4.a: Transclude the subpage into your university's page
On your university's page (for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Campus_Ambassadors/Southern_Wikipedia_University), add this code:

Trained Campus Ambassadors:

Step 4.b: Transclude your university's page into the Interest List
On the main Interest List (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Campus_Ambassadors), add this code:

NOTE: By now you've probably noticed that this is the standard code for transcluding pages: the page to be transcluded in two double brackets.

Now we have a complete table of trained Ambassadors on the Interest List!

Step 5: Transclude subpage into WikiProject
If you are working with a class as a Campus Ambassador for the Fall 2010 or Spring 2011 term, also transclude the subpage into the Campus Ambassadors section of the Public Policy WikiProject. As you may predict, you can do this by adding the following line of code to that page:
