You place the text you want displayed between "" followed by a colon and the link.
Like this:

"Some text":https://knowyourmeme.com/

Which gives

Some text

So I do it like this ?

BOOM. Thanks for it Mike. I'm gonna be using this everywhere now!!!

oh hai y'all! noob over here!

I've got a picture that i think could be a potential meme but just needs an awesome caption.

a) Where would i post the picture to get the ball rolling and ask people for caption submissions
b) How do i upload the picture (apologies if this question has previously been asked by someone else)

That's pretty much it. any help would be appreciated because i think the pic is quite funny. i think it could be a IRL meme.

Have a good day

@Buz_buz
a) You don't "make" a meme, it sort of comes out of itself. But the best place on this site would probably be the just for fun forum, maybe in the shitpost general. Otherwise, you could try any site that has something to do with memes.
b) You can upload the image to imgur, your profile here, or any other image hosting sites really.

aaaaaah!! okay that makes sense. Thanks Mike! much appreciated :)

Updated OP to include the most useful resources that answer the most frequently asked questions.

Ok, so yesterday on the forums I was experiencing some problems. For some reason I was double posting, and I thought it was just a glitch on my computer when I post one comment it posts two. I did not intentionally double post, but I'd like to delete those double posts. I'm pretty sure there was a thread for this, but I can't find it. If a Moderator could explain this or fix it, I'd be very much thankful.

how do you change your title?

How do you add images to your comments?

OK

Yeah wut.

Okay I'm new here and I want to add a video form the Quinnspiracy gallery to TotalBiscuit's page (and before you ask, yes the video is done by Total "Cynical Brit" Biscuit himself), the question is do I have to add it as a separate entry from the video already in the Quinnspiracy Gallery or can I add a video from one video gallery to the other, and if so, how?

No, unfortunately they won't enable cross-referencing in the database, so if you want to add a video to more than one gallery you have to do it manually. Same goes for images. There's tons of images and videos where I've had to go in and add them to two or more separate galleries because they are crossed memes or something.

How can I search the forums? I'd like to make sure I don't post a new thread when there's an existing one I can post a reply to instead.

And as long as I'm posting, here's a question that's not about KYM but I figure someone here may be able to answer it: Is there a meme creation website that can "stitch" two images together before you add wording?

EDIT 1: I just remembered that the site's search box searches everything, not just the database. Derp.

EDIT 2: I'll post my other question as its own thread in this forum.

How can I post Photo's or Gifs in my comments?

This thread can help you.

So I'm not sure if I should post this here or if I should make a separate thread but
I added a video to the FNaF gallery, however the page for said video states that "We were unable to process the embed code for this video" and that I should remove the video and try again. However, I don't actually know how to remove the video. I would assume that there would be a "delete video" button located somewhere on the page, but I can't seem to find it…

This is an incredibly newbish question, and I do apologize for it.

Just scroll up,

You should see this button.

Oh.
Oh.
Well I certainly failed a spot check on that one.

Thank you for your help!

One question I'd like to know is when does a comment become buried? Does an admin come along and bury it or is it triggered by the number of downvotes?

I think on the forums, forum posts are hidden when they have 5 negative karma

For the comments, however, I think they gets buried at around 10 downvotes.

Not too sure, though.

The number of downvotes.

When will Toy Story 5 come out?

How do you change your username?

Click on the "Edit your profile" button on your profile page.

Type the name you want in the First Name info box.

Then submit and your name is changed.

And both boxes each have a limit of 20 characters (including spaces).

Is it O.K. to post in the forums an idea for a parody of an image that's a meme and request that someone who (unlike yours truly) can 'shop images make the idea a reality? If so, which forum?

Yes, and the Just For Fun board should do

how do I make those quotes with a white background and just black writing on it. The font seems to be that of the ones used on memes

Why do you guys don't support https connections?

How do you get into the homepage?

Click the "Home" button or the Know Your Meme logo on the upper left corner of the site.

What is deadpooling?

Nice thread. Helpful for all newbies.

ok, stupid question but how do you put images in text like this?

Deadpool is a status given to memes, articles, and entries on the site that are either not up to KYM's formatting standards or are found to be unworthy of an entry, either for lack of spread or "meme-like" content.

Single Exclamation marks around an image URL embeds an image into an entry, comment, or forum post. For example, !https://i.kym-cdn.com/profiles/icons/big/000/322/548/efb.jpg! produces:

You can also use HTML to embed, and modify properties such as height, width, and where the image links to (if at all). Check out the KYM Guide To Textile for more information on how to format posts.

Good Evening Fellow Denizens of the Internet,

I just joined and have a few questions.

1) I am looking at image #29 which doesn't currently have any tags. How would one go about adding a new tag to the image?

2) Is there an alphabetical listing or a database of tags I can look for adding new tags to images?

The potential tags I see are "bitches don't know", "rick astley", and "rick roll"

Thanks again for your help and I look forward to working with you.

I have a question: What is karma? I thought it was the like/dislike buttons you see on entries and comments and stuff but since on my profile it says "Karma Given: 0" even though I've liked plenty of comments and stuff I'm not so sure.

Karma is only obtained from forum posts, not comments.

Oh, that makes sense! Thank you!

Ah so there is a newbie section. Greetings, I have been watching this site and decide to join to express my opinions and comment when I wish. But I do want to know a few things.

1: Is it possible to switch my phone to mobile the whole time or does it have to be desktop the whole time? I will mostly use a phone and it would be helpful.
2: How do I post pictures in comments? I understand just linking doesn't work.

And anything else you can warn me or whatever would be nice. Thank you.

Hey I believe I found meme that apparently isn't in the database yet. Not only I am bad at writing but also I am too lazy to do the entry. Where can I post that meme info for others to pick up?

Is there a way to uncover all NSFW, Spoiler, etc. images at once or do I have to click each one individually?

Hello, new here. I conduct research on really specific memes that are often not very popular. I would like to contribute my research here, but I feel like most of the memes I research aren't popular enough to have an entry. How can I contribute?

Can someone help me out? The process of submitting a meme seems WAY more difficult than it is on most other meme sites. I don't know what things like "alt text" are, nor do I know how to place my caption on the picture I'm trying to submit. And when I do click submit, it just says "loading" but never generates my submission or takes me to the next page. Why must this dumbass site make submitting a meme so impossible to figure out? _

This is a meme wiki. When you click "Submit an entry" you attempt to make a new article about a meme. If you want to simply upload an image, find an entry matching your meme, scroll down to its gallery and click "+Add an image".

Hi all! I just joined this wiki and tried creating a few related entries. Two questions:

First, in practical terms, what effect does it has when a submission is confirmed or deadpooled? Does it affect how the entry appears on Google results or whether it's included in the archive sent to the Library of Congress?

Second, more straightforwardly, how do I link related entries to make them part of a series or to make one a sub-entry of another?

Entry confirmation is basically site's stamp of approval. Most user made entries (especially obscure ones) don't get those these days, but it doesn't really matter. Deadpool is an opposite of that. Most of deadpoolable entries get deleted, but when there is a potential to fix it, it is left alone and waits until someone decides to help.

I don't really know how all this affects search results though. I wouldn't be surprised if deadpooled entries had reduced visibility.

You can't personally make sub-entries nor link related ones. You will have to ask a mod for help.

I'll ask this on here since i dont know where else to ask. I have proof on the founding of a meme, how do I bring that up for discussion to give the person who made the meme the credit for starting the trend of said meme?

No. Anything you've posted to the site will remain. Only mods and admins can completely delete accounts.
