===4. Place the necessary links at the bottom of the page===
===4. Add a photo===
Here's where you're going to be doing double editing duty. Most of Weezerpedia's list pages don't have any images in them, something we would like to correct. Select an image that is relevant to the content of the list, and include it '''both''' in the original list article itself, ''and'' the text you're editing to feature the list. Confused? Don't be!
 
For [[List of Carnival Art songs]], we can use an image of the band themselves. [[:File:Carnival-Art.jpg|This one]] will do:
 
[[Image:Carnival-Art.jpg]]
 
To include this in the list article itself, you can type the following code at the very top of the page:
<pre>[[Image:Carnival-Art.jpg|right]]</pre>
 
====4A. Image caption====
We only need to add an image caption to above code for our Main Page. Luckily, we have a handy template that makes this easy. It allows us to take some coding shortcuts, and it looks (edited for readability) like this:
 
<pre>{{Featured list image|IMAGE FILE NAME||LIST NAME|IMAGE CAPTION}}</pre>
 
You can just add your image and list name. For our Carnival Art list, it would look like this:
 
<pre>{{Featured list image|Carnival-Art.jpg|List of Carnival Art songs|Carnival Art was [[Brian Bell]]'s pre-Weezer band.}}</pre>
 
Entered normally into Weezerpedia, that template gives us: (look to the right hand side of the page)
{{Featured list image|Carnival-Art.jpg|List of Carnival Art songs|Carnival Art was [[Brian Bell]]'s pre-Weezer band.}}<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
 
===5. Place the necessary links at the bottom of the page===
There should be links at the bottom that allow users to easily see the full list and edit the Featured List section. Find the second to last line in the entire article. It should read:
