From The WikiWebComic Wiki - The Webcomic

This is a short, three-part guide to how we make comics.

Writing/Editing/Adding to Webcomics

Go to Category:Open Comics and pick one. Click "edit" at the top, and start typing. Always read the discussion page before editing a script that's already been started, don't be offensive, and try to keep your scripts short enough to fit on a one-page webcomic.

Drawing Webcomics

If you feel like the script's done, you can draw one of the open comics. You don't need to be an artist. How you actually make a comic is up to you (drawing/scanning, The GIMP, sprites, whatever). Once it's done, you need to log in to the WikiWebcomic Wiki. Then click "upload file" in the toolbox on the left side of the page, and upload your image. Go back to the page of the comic you drew, copy the script, and paste it onto the discussion page. Then on the page you got it from, replace the script text with [[Image:name_of_your_uploaded_comic_here]] . Filenames are case-sensitive. Then read the section below this.

Maintaining the Ten Comics at Once Rule/Categories

When a page has its script replaced with a finished webcomic, the category tag should be changed from [[Category: Open Comics]] to [[Category: Finished Comics]].

If there are less than ten comics listed in Category:Open Comics, the next blank comic page needs to be created. Click on the highest-numbered one in the category, increase its number by one in the URL bar until you get a page that hasn't been created yet, and edit it to contain this text: {{subst:MakeMeAWebcomic}}

If somehow there are eleven or more open comics at once (which would be ridiculous and not even funny), don't do anything to "fix" it. It'll sort itself out.
