==Converting an existing wiki page to a blog post page==
If you have a pre-existing wiki page that you need to convert to a blog post page you need to do the following:
===Remove an category tags, etc===
Remove any category assignments. They look like <nowiki>[[category:some category]]<nowiki>. Links to categories, which do not assign a page to a category, can stay. Category link tags look like <nowiki>[[:category: some category]]</nowiki>.
Also remove any old code that is no longer needed. Exampls include:
<nowiki>
<includeonly>...</includeonly>
flush ---!---
</nowiki>
===Add and complete the blog post template===
Add a copy of [[Template:BlogPost]] manually to the top of your page. The resulting code should look like:
<nowiki>
{{BlogPost
|Title=
|Author=
|Series=
|Content status=
|Graphics status=
|Blog image=
|Publication date=
}}
</nowiki>
...but with each of the values filled out, as described in the section above.
