Step 2:
Create a subpage

Create a page to place the image on; this page needs to be a subpage of Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates. To create your own subpage, add a title for the image you want to nominate in the field below (for example, Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Labrador Retriever). Click the "Create new nomination" button.

type=create

width=60

break=no

buttonlabel=Create new nomination

default=Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/

preload=Template:FPCnom/init

editintro=Template:FPCnom/intro


;For Delists (or Delist & Replace)

Use this field to create a subpage for delisting a current Featured picture.

type=create

width=80

break=no

buttonlabel=Create new delisting nomination

default=Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/delist/

preload=Template:FPCdel/init/sandbox

editintro=Template:FPCdel/intro/sandbox


width="60%" style="padding:1em; border:3px solid #4b699e; background-color:#f0f3f8; vertical-align: top;"

Step 3:
Transclude and link

Transclude the newly created subpage to the Featured picture candidate list ({{edit|Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates|direct link|section=1}}).

=Too complicated?=

If you are unable to follow the above procedure, add your image to Wikipedia talk:Featured picture candidates and mention that you would like to submit your image to Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates, but that you don't know how. If someone else deems it suitable, they will add it to FPC on your behalf. Alternatively, you can request a regular FPC editor to submit an image on your behalf by contacting them on their talk page.
