## New Atlas entries
To contribute to the map, we require a certain format for artwork region and labels. This can be generated on [the drawing mode](https://2023.place-atlas.stefanocoding.me?mode=draw) on the website.
To contribute to the map, we require a certain format for artwork region and labels. This can be generated on [the drawing mode](https://atlas.mariusdavid.fr/?mode=draw) on the website.
To add a new entry, go to [the drawing mode](https://2023.place-atlas.stefanocoding.me?mode=draw) and draw a shape/polygon around the region you'd like to describe. You can use the <kbd>Undo</kbd>, <kbd>Redo</kbd>, and <kbd>Reset</kbd> buttons to help you creating a good polygon. Make sure that the lines you're drawing don't form a [self-intersecting polygon](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0f/Complex_polygon.svg/288px-Complex_polygon.svg.png).

If you want to see which areas of the canvas do not have entries yet, select "Highlight Empty" to hide areas that already have entries.
You can also edit existing entries. To do that, [enter the normal mode](https://atlas.mariusdavid.fr/), select the entry you want to edit, then click `Edit`. To retrace it, you can click `Add Period`, then `Delete` the old first Period.
Multiple periods can be added to represent the changing state of the artwork on different times. You can set the start and end period, as well as chosing the appropriate canvas variations. You can also copy the polygon from one period to the other, duplicating a period to be edited later, as well as deleting a period (if there is more than one). An alert is also shown if there are errors that needed attention.

Once you've entered all the information, you'll be presented with a pop-up window containing some [JSON](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON)-formatted data. This is the patch that you are going to submit. Depending on the method, there are two preferred methods.
### Through Reddit
You can press the <kbd>Post Direct to Reddit</kbd> button, which will open a page with the title and body already been filled for you. You don't need to change anything what has been prepared.
### Through Lemmy
If that didn't work, copy the entire JSON text and [create a new text post on the subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/placeAtlas2023/submit). You don't need to add any other text; just directly send the patch.
You will need to post that message to the `!2024lemmycanvasatlas@toast.ooo` community via Lemmy (or another Activity-Pub powered service that allow long enought messages).
Remember to flair your post with <kbd>New Entry</kbd>. On New Reddit, click the <kbd>Flair</kbd> button on the bottom part, and select <kbd>New Entry</kbd>. On Old Reddit, click the <kbd>select</kbd> button on the "choose a flair" section instead.
Past the whole JSON file in the body, and then post it. Eventually, a bot should answer that your post has been processed (or not) in less than 30 minutes. If that does not happen after 1 hour, then this is a bug, and you can report it. You can also use the second contributionn method.
### Through GitHub
### Through GitHub (TODO:lemmy adapatation DOCUMENTATION UNFINISHED: WHAT ABOUT THE ID AND REPLACING?)
If you know about Git and how to create a pull request on GitHub, you can try create a patch that will be merged, along with other patches, by one of the members.
If you know about Git and how to create a pull request on GitHub, you can create a patch that will be merged as-is in the repo.
You can try pressing the <kbd>Submit Direct to GitHub</kbd> button, which will open a page with the patch file already been prepared to you.

). Upon opening, replace the `ENTRY-NAME-HERE` into the name of the entry (with the slug format, if possible, e.g. `foo-bar`). You don't need to add any other text; just directly send the patch.

If you haven't forked the repository, you would need to fork it with the provided instruction shown on the page. You may add attribution by adding an `_author` key, explained in the next paragraphs. After that, you can press <kbd>Submit changes</kbd>, add follow the steps to create a pull request within GitHub.

The commit message and description doesn't matter, but you may change it into something more descriptive to make it easier for checking (e.g. <kbd>Add Foo Bar</kbd> or <kbd>Edit Foo Bar</kbd> for the commit message). However, we suggest you to edit the title (at least) and the description of the pull request, containing the changes that you want to do (something like <kbd>Add Foo Bar</kbd> or <kbd>Edit Foo Bar</kbd> for the title, similar to the commit message, is also sufficient).
If you can fork and clone the repository, you can use the provided `tools/create_patch.py` script. This script helps you to create a working patch, along with additional data such as your name for attribution sakes. Simply run the script inside the `tools/` folder and follow the given instructions.
If you want to do this manually (e.g. you don't have Python), you can create a patch by creating a `.json` file inside `data/patches`, with the content of the JSON-formatted data that is given earlier. You may add attribution by adding an `_author` key with the value of your Reddit username or your GitHub username plus a `gh:` prefix.
```json5
{
"id":-1,// -1 signififies a new entry.
// ...
// Choose one of the folllowing:
"_author":"Hans5958_",// Links to https://reddit.com/user/Hans5958_
"_author":"gh:Hans5958",// Links to https://github.com/Hans5958
}
```
Once you have successfully created the patch, the file can be committed, and a pull request towards the `cleanup` branch can be created. A member will merge the pull request if it is adequate.
## Edits to Atlas entries
Other than adding new ones, you can edit existing atlas entries.
### Using the web interface
You can use the website to edit single entries easily. On the website, click <kbd>Edit</kbd> on an entry box. Afterwards, you are now on the drawing mode, editing the entry, in which you can follow the same instructions as [when creating a new entry](#new-atlas-entries).
Upon submitting, if you use Reddit, please flair it as <kbd>Edit Entry</kbd> instead. The method stays the same if you use GitHub.
As an alternative, you can also submit an issue on GitHub using [this form](https://github.com/placeAtlas/atlas-2023/issues/new?assignees=&labels=entry+update&template=edit-entry.yml) or report it on our Discord server.
### Manually by direct edits
Direct edits to the `web/atlas.json` are also welcome on this repository using Git through GitHub. You may use Git or GitHub for bulk or large-scale changes, such as removing duplicates, or doing those that are not possible by using patches, such as removing an entry. Keep in mind that this may causes conflicts, so only do it when necessary.
`web/atlas.json` is where the Atlas data is located, in which you can edit on GitHub. The next section includes an example of an entry.
Upon creating a fork of this repository and pushing the changes, create a pull request towards the `cleanup` branch. A member will merge the pull request if it is adequate.
To help find duplicates, [use the Overlap mode](https://2023.place-atlas.stefanocoding.me?mode=overlap).
Once you have successfully created the patch, the file can be committed, and a pull request towards the `main` branch can be created. A member will merge the pull request if it is adequate.
### Example
Hereforth is an example of the structured entry data. The example has been expanded, but when editing directly, please save it in the way so each line is an entry that is minified. The `tools/aformatter.py` script can help you with this.
