Basic instructions

Basic details are below, a video will be uploaded shortly for easier understanding.

• You will be assigned a group of pages. On those pages you will:
  • Insert every hanja character for that page.
  • Insert the hanja template, by using the button on the toolbar (second to the last one).
  • If there is already data on the page, you will just cut (control + x) and paste (control + v) into the template area.
  • Format any previous data that is in the wrong format (i.e. bad capitalizations, linking to other pages etc)
  • Count the number of hanja characters there are, and at the top of the page put the total. If you don't want to type "Total characters" over and over, I've made a button on the toolbar that will insert it for you: (last button)
• Note some pages will already be formatted and you won't need to do any work at all.

Requirements:

• You must install Korean input on your computer so the fonts are all on your system. For instructions on how to install that, check out: this tutorial on youtube.
• Windows XP or above

Photoshop team

For those who are going to use photoshop, you will simply create hanja characters that are missing and upload them. You will need to have Korean installed on your system, as well as these two files:

• Basic template PDF: Hanja template.psd
• You will need to use this font: HYhaeseo.zip
• Just copy and paste any missing characters you see into the psd file
• Center the image
• Save as .png format
• Upload. You can also try using the multiple file uploader: Special:MultipleUpload
• Save in the category: Hanja characters by typing [[Category:Hanja characters]]
  • After uploading, hit back on your browser and reupload other files, you shouldn't need to type in the category again, it should still be there.
