This page describes the creation and editing workflow for Atlas descriptions and bounding boxes on the r/place 2022 Atlas.
(For information on creating or editing Wiki pages, see Editing:Wiki Editing.)
This information is only relevant to official community managers. Please do not create or submit edits if you are not an official community leader behind your community's artwork. The best way to encourage adding recent and relevant information is to request an update to whoever is managing your community's art.
Editing existing entries
WIP. Check back later for a comprehensive walkthrough.
Creating a new entry
To create a new entry, you'll need to be an official community leader that has unoccupied space on the Atlas to fill.
If you'd like to update an entry that already exists, or manage and remove duplicate entries, see Editing existing entries.
You'll also need to find an unoccupied area. Do not add duplicate entries to an existing area - they will be reported and removed.
Drawing your bounding area
Once you find an unoccupied area, click "Show List" on the top left hand corner, then click Draw. You will now be in the Draw mode, which lets you create a new bounding area around your art. Be precise; do not cover art that is not in your claimed area. Do not create intersecting lines within your drawing - do not make self-intersecting polygons.
You can Undo or Redo placed points by clicking the buttons on the sidebar, or by using Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y.
If another bounding area is partially obscuring the area you are attempting to add an entry for, please try your best to cover the entirety of your area despite this. (This means you should cut into a dark area on the Atlas if you really need to, in order to fully enclose your community's artwork.)
When you're finished drawing your area, click "Finish (Enter)" on the sidebar, or press Enter to confirm your area.
Filling in the description
After finding an area, a few text boxes will appear in the side panel for adding the name of your area, its description, and links to a website and subreddit. Please fill in all relevant information; if you are not associated with a Discord server or subreddit, for instance, you may leave these fields blank. Once you're done adding information into these text fields, click OK.
Submitting to Reddit
Once you've generated JSON code for your new area, head over to [r/placeAtlas2]. Create a new post there with nothing in it at all besides the JSON code you just generated. Other desired notes may be added in the comments section.
A moderator will then review your submission. If it's accepted, then they will push it to the Atlas for you!
