CIVILIAN AIRPORTS LIST[]

When we create a page, need to add our new airport to the list, for other people know that; then, we need go to this page (http://sl-aviation.wikia.com/wiki/ICAO_codes_for_airports) and make this:

  1. Click on EDIT box.
  2. Look at your ICAO code and look in the box corresponding alphabetically with prior to the list (for example, if yours is SLKB, the previous should to be SLKA, or failing that, an earlier, for example SLJP).
  3. Make click in this box, and you can see an arrow on left, then click in the arrow for open a new option list and select "insert below".
  4. Now you have a new row where you can write your info: first the ICAO code, next the airport name, next the continent, and last the airport designation. You need make click twice quickly for open each row box.
  5. For create an internal link, you need select the text, make click on above symbol which forms a "chainlink", and in the new box, click again for make the link; if all is ok, you can see the text in blue color (If the text is in red color, you need delete the link and check what is the problem). When all is ok, if you touch the link of your airport, you are redirect to the airport page
  6. On the designation box you can copy and paste the others designations similar to your case: for example, if you airport is an Executive Airport and it is on ground level, you need add "1g - Executive Airport"; if it is on platform "1p" and if it is floating at the sky "1s".
  7. And don´t forget save the page when finish (and check also if you are delete some rows for mistake); of course, if you have doubt about the editing, send me a message and i help you.
