How to post links

[Real Ale Ray]

Just wondering how do I submit links for pubs? Or is this something only certain people can do??

Was having a look at some pubs and noticed that they didn't have the link to Whatpub/Camra site, I find this really handy when planning a trip for opening times etc.

Would appreciate any help! Many thanks (Mrs Ale)

Hi Fiona

Yes, it's definitely an option for some people only, I remember someone else asking this before.

I guess Dave would need to give you the permissions.

On the pub page just paste the link to the submit a web link box and wait for it to be approved the same way as in any changes you may make to a pub.

Hi Fiona. I'll be honest, I wasn't 100% certain what you were asking here. You can certainly submit links for pubs, but you won't be able to approve your own submissions. They need to be checked by a 'dwarf' first.

To add a pub website, for example, copy and paste it into the box between the pub reviews and the pub location map and click submit. It'll then be added to the approval list, to be processed ASAP. Normally, the waiting time isn't too long, but occasionally there's a bit of a backlog.

Hope this is what you meant. Apologies, if it sounds a bit mansplainy - that wasn't my intention.

Not everyone has the box to submit a web link. That’s what Fiona is getting at, there is nowhere for her to submit the link.

Sorry maybe I wasn't clear. It's only the Whatpub/Camra links I'm looking for. If I notice that a pub doesn't have a link for Whatpub, can I submit or do I just wait for a 'dwarf' to notice?

Assuming you have the submit weblink box ( I've always had this and never knowingly been a dwarf or had special powers ) on the pub page on the main site, yes you can submit it.

Thanks Moby. No that's not visible on my side!

I wasn't aware that some people had the submit weblink box and some didn't, which largely explains my confusion and the fact we were talking at cross purposes. That's one for Dave to explain I'm afraid.

Thinking about how you could submit links, Fiona, I wonder if you could use the 'dead links' section in That Doesn't Go There, but when titling your post use 'New WhatPub / CAMRA link for Pub X.' Submit the link and then I (or another dwarf) could copy and paste it across. A bit clunky, but at least you can add things.
