Introduction

Looking for a new group or want more recruits?
This page is open to advertisements by active groups currently recruiting members.


I want to advertise! How do I do it?

First off, do not put the actual content of your advertisement on this page or else it will be deleted immediately. Instead, simply follow the two-step process below.


Step 1: Create your advertisement

Before you can put your ad here, you first need to make it somewhere else. This is the tricky part.

  • Go to YOUR_GROUP_NAME/Recruit, but replace YOUR_GROUP_NAME with the name of your group.
  • Create your advertisement there, then paste the following code at the end of your ad:
    <noinclude>
    [[Category:Group Subpages]]
    [[Category:Recruitment|YOUR_GROUP_TYPE]]
    </noinclude>
  • Replace YOUR_GROUP_TYPE with Survivor Group, Zombie Group, etc., depending on what best describes your group.
  • Preview your changes, and Save them once you're satisfied.

Additional rules:
  • If your group has 4+ wiki pages, you can replace [[Category:Group Subpages]] with [[Category:YOUR_GROUP_NAME]].
  • Your advertisement may not contain any subheadings (e.g. ==Example==) or templates.
  • At 800x600 resolution, your ad should not exceed 800px in height, nor cause a horizontal scrollbar.
  • All images used in the advertisement must not come to a grand total of more than 56KiB (56K).


Step 2: Put your ad here

Now we can use some wiki magic to make your ad get inserted here automatically.

  • Edit this page by clicking here.
  • Paste the following code where your group should be listed alphabetically:
    ===[[YOUR_GROUP_NAME]] : GROUP_TYPE Group===
    {|
    |
    {{:YOUR_GROUP_NAME/Recruit}}
    ~~~~
    |}
  • Replace YOUR_GROUP_NAME with your group's name.
  • Replace GROUP_TYPE with something like Survivor, Zombie, etc., depending on what best describes your group.
  • Preview the changes you've made.
    • If you see the advertisement you made in Step 1 and it looks good, Save your changes.
    • If you don't see your advertisement or it looks messed up, check the instructions again.
    • If you're still having trouble, ask for help here.

Additional rules:
  • Place your advertisement in alphabetical order by group name.
  • Your advertisement's formatting must not break the page. Preview before you Save!
  • You must update the timestamp at least once every two months. Failure to do so will result in your ad being removed.
  • Organizations that have subgroups are limited to one advertisement. Subgroups do not get their own.


Other things you should know
  • If your advertisement breaks the page in some way, it will be removed. You may or may not be notified.
  • If your advertisement doesn't have its timestamp updated every two months, it will be removed. You will not be notified.
  • The best ads are concise, say where in the city the group is located, and provide relevant links for the group.
  • You can either provide a signature with a timestamp (~~~~) or just a timestamp (~~~~~). Either is fine.
