Gallery

Hi Dalton, I had never really planned for mulltiple galleries but if you have this many photos it might be important otherwise the page sizes will be huge. The header and footers you used will not work as they would be used by any article that had a Gallery1 subpage. There are two strategies. I can code the subpages template to accept multiple gallery subsubpages like Bifrenaria/Gallery/1 and Bifrenaria/Gallery/2. If you'd like tabs at the top a different approach would be too add Gallery1 and Gallery2 to the tab1 and tab2 field and not use the Gallery subpage at all. In that way you would not have a gallery tab but instead a Gallery1 tab and a Gallery2 tab. Chris Day 14:54, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

I just set up the tab1 tab2 option. Note how it uses the generic headers automatically not your page specific headers. Chris Day 14:59, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
Thanks Chris, I will deal with them after lunch. Now regarding the galleries, let's plan them a little bit more. Not for this particular case but for huge genera. Bulbophyllum (the largest) has about 2000 species and correspondent photos (I wish I had them). I might have photos of 200-300 species so far. When uploading these photos I am considering the fact I am not describing any of the species, otherwise there might be just one photo of each at genus gallery and all other photos lodged at the particular species galleries, however, I am uploading more photos now so more information about their morphology is available and, provided anyone shows up to help with species descriptions, the photos are already there, its just a matter of moving them to species galleries.
Now with large genera, maybe we will need to have genera's subgenera, sections, and alliances pages? Do you have any ideas? Maybe having the galleries as catalogs with unlimited numbers? Well, we do not to find a solution as yet, I am not planning to deal with those complex genera so far (furthermore it seems some are going to be split). Maybe the solution will appear out of the blue a it often suddenly happens. Oh, now the CZ system limits the galleries to 30 photos. I guess that's OK.

The way you did is perfectly fine. Thank you Dalton Holland Baptista 15:32, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
