• Describe the problem or situation that this learning pattern addresses after problem=.

_{One sentence is enough here: you can go into more detail later on.}

• Summarize the solution in 1-2 sentences after solution=

• Categorize your pattern by adding one of the categories on the right after type= »

_{You can also add a second category under type2=. Leave these both blank if none of the available categories seem appropriate.}

• If you want to, you can add an image from Wikimedia Commons as an avatar for your learning point after image=.

_{If you leave this blank, you get a duck .}

It should look something like this:

...
|problem=Filling out infoboxes in wikitext can be confusing, even for experienced editors.

|solution=Create an edit intro page with step-by-step instructions and examples of a completed infobox. If possible, include a picture of a mechanical duck.

|type=online engagement
|type2=
|image=File:A_picture_I_found.jpg
...
}}

Step 2. Fill in the details.

• Summarize the problem under ==What problem does this solve?==.

_{You can start with the sentence you put in the infobox, and then add as much description as you want. You can always come back later.}

• Explain the solution under ==What is the solution?==.

_{If you're ready to get specific, you can add considerations, examples, references and related resources now.}
