How to Use the Shared Google Drive

Hi everyone! Welcome to the guide on how to take screenshots for the wiki. Thank you for being willing to help!

## Using the Google Drive for Screenshot Takers

First, you are going to want to open the spreadsheet that lists what the wiki still needs: MLD Wiki Information Needed Sheet

There is a column labeled, "Pictures?" Those that are not checked still need pictures. For this example, I'll be using the pictures from Lavender Bubble Bath

As you can see, no one has checked the box yet so I know that pictures still need to be taken:

Next, open the shared google drive: MLD ENG Wiki

The drive has a couple of resources to make this easier for you. There is a Google doc with links to the different how to pages on the wiki in case you would like to go back and look at any of them. The spreadsheet with all the information needed is also in there. Lastly, there is a checklist I made of the pictures that need to be collected

First, I check and see if there is already a folder with the set's name on it. If there is, it is likely that someone is already working on it. Since there isn't for my set, I am going to create one

If you would like to use the checklist, please make a copy and put it into your new folder. Now, I can open up my copy and check things off as I take the screenshots

You can change the boxes into check marks by highlighting the check boxes, clicking the one you want to change, right click, and then selecting the check mark

Once I take the pictures and crop them (please crop them), I now need to add them to the google drive. This step will vary depending on personal preferences. I have the google drive app on my phone and I use that to transfer the photos from my photos to google drive

This next step is really important, please go back into the spreadsheet and click the check mark box so that whoever creates the page will know that the pictures are already taken

That is how you add pictures to the shared google drive! If you have any issues or questions, please reach out to Maddy for help

## Using the Google Drive for Page Creators

Here are the steps I take when using photos from google drive. For those of you who already have experience adding pictures to fandom, it is very similar. But I wanted to make sure I went over how to do it

First, open up the folder in google drive. Then select all the photos (excluding the checklist if there is one) and click the download button

It is going to download a zip file which you will have to unzip and then you need to rename all the files. On Windows, I can rename the files by selecting all of them, right-clicking, and selecting rename. I then type in the name of the set or a shortened version and the system automatically makes them match with the numbers after

I then do a mass upload by clicking the arrow button on the top bar of the page

Once you complete the page, please move the google drive folder with the pictures into the "Complete" folder. Please do not delete it, this way we will have an archive of photos

And that is how you can use our shared google drive to get the page pictures. If you get any error codes, please take a picture and reach out to Maddy. If you have any questions, please reach out to Maddy

Thank you so much for all your hard work!
