About gallery subpages

Galleries provide pictorial representations of article topics. They can serve as only a supplement to the article text or can be considerably stand-alone. For example, a "history in pictures" of World War II or of Italian Renaissance painting is entirely possible, just as is a more straightforward gallery showing only photos and the names of species of butterflies.

Formating standards

{{Gallery-mixed}} is very easy to use and versatile, although it has minor shortcomings as does all gallery tools for MediaWiki to date. While a superior tool is developed, please use it.

To place a gallery add:

{{Gallery-mixed
|caption=Add an optional subheading here.
|width=200
|lines=5
|Name of image.jpg|Image one caption goes here
|Name of image.jpg|Image two caption goes here
|Name of image.png|Image three caption goes here
|Name of image.jpg|Image four caption goes here
|Name of image.jpg|Image five caption goes here
}}

Each gallery section may contain up to 30 images. Just keep adding images according to the pattern shown above. If you need the number extended beyond 30, just ask.

Major headings for galleries should follow the same pattern as with article text. However, to keep table of contents compacted, we want to place subheadings within the gallery box, as provided for in the caption= perimeter, shown above.

The width= perimeter controls the size of the images in the gallery; the lines=perimeter controls how many lines of text may show before a vertical scroll bar appears for images with long captions. Both are adjustable.

Guidelines for editing

Images and text in galleries may be boldly edited by anyone. This applies to galleries adjunctive to both approved and not approved articles (yes, this means you may edit approved galleries). When editing well-developed galleries adjunctive to approved articles, however, you might wish to first discuss your changes, if significant, on the gallery's talk page.
