Stickers

PLEASE NOTE that replacing the word Religion or the word Occupation will render the sticker invalid, as those words denote the template.

When adding a sticker you would use the code ~~Religion|image=ADWP-235.png|text=Murphy lived to 105 years of age.~~ This has been superseded by the creation of a Centenarian sticker: The format is {{Centenarian|age=}}. You need to enter the person's age at death (100 or greater!) after the equals sign

... ... ... was a centenarian, living to age 105.

{{Centenarian|age=105}} which results in:

... Taylor was a weaver.

{{Occupation|image=ADWP-140.png|text=Taylor was a weaver.}} which results in:

(On the profile it would say "John Taylor", otherwise, if you leave off the last name, only the preferred name will show.)

The … on a person's profile will fill in with their preferred name once the profile has been saved.

If using the Centenarian sticker, you might also place the category [[Category:Centenarians]] above the Biography header.

Hi Melanie, I've made a few stickers that are a bit more Englishy (except the barber who is French :) ) and earlier for my own purposes, please feel free to share them. I'll be adding more when time permits. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Sticker_images

Question: Isn't a "steam bender of wood" a cooper? (or is that different). I was also looking for the sticker for "Wheelwright", and Brewer. and "Sail Maker" (one of my ancestors made sails for sailing ships but wasn't a sailor). Not sure if anyone is making stickers anymore?

A cooper was a specific trade - a maker or repairer of casks and barrels. Steam bending is a woodworking technique where wood is exposed to steam to make it pliable. The resulting wood could be used for different things, not just casks and barrels. A better explanation than I could give is on Wikipedia. I do have an image for a cooper up there ^, just not set out with the sticker code.

If you have a sticker image need, and you cannot find it on one of the space pages where people have such things, just send me a PM and I'll see what I can do. (I thought I had one for wheelwright, but don't see it here, so I'll check my image files. I may have simply forgotten to upload it. I also thought I had one for brewer, but don't see it, so I'll check my files.)

Sail Maker might be a little difficult, but I'll see what my late husband's image disks might have and see if I can adapt anything.

You are also more than welcome to do as Azure has done, and post an image so I can add it to the list. :-)

Melanie, i see your sail maker sticker and it looks great.. so now something to really challenge you i think. .:D .. i have a number of women in my family (early settlers from Scotland in about the `830s) anyway the 'occupation' was passed from generation to generation for a while.. that of... the midwife.. on horseback. Apparently (no idea how this stuff was communicated) a message would be taken to them, and they would pack a bag and jump on a horse and be gone for a while leaving their husbands and children to run the farm till they returned:D.

Little Imp is already prodding at Art Bug with an idea or two. I'll see what they come up with.

I've added an image for a midwife who travels by horse. Not totally sure I'm satisfied with it, but it should do for now.

I know this is resurrecting an old discussion, but I've just been re-listening to (I don't need to watch these shows anymore, I've seen them a couple of dozen times or more) the Time Team specials and one of them (on boat building) has a section that reminded me of this discussion. Some way in on this youtube video is a section on steam bending of wood — in this instance for the building of a very large (sea-going) boat. The experimental archaeologists reconstruct a half-size "Dover Boat", and to get it as accurate as possible, they needed to bend some of the planks needed. Although their equipment was not what the boat builders of the past would have used (styrofoam?!), the technique would be similar. Of interest to me was just how short a time there was before the ability to bend the wood was done. Three (3) minutes!
