Help:Manual of Style/Character Pages/Gallery


 * Create galleries as a subpage of the character's main page: e.g. Ragna the Bloodedge/Gallery
 * In the automatically generated boilerplate text (see also below):
 * Replace  with the name of the character the page is being created for.
 * In the case of the Murakumo units, whose display names are different from their base page names, use  where   is the name of her main overview page and   is the name that her subpages are on (Lambda-11/Gameplay, etc)

How to add an image to a character's gallery

 * 1) Upload it via Upload Wizard. (ref. Help:Upload Wizard for general assistance with using Upload Wizard)
 * 2) * For BlazBlue Radio insert images, please use Campaign:BBRadio to upload the images.
 * 3) * For images from Twitter, Campaign:Twitter simplifies the process
 * 4) Categorize the image with:
 * 5) * The character: Category:Media by Character
 * 6) * The category of gallery you want the image to appear in: Category:Media by Gallery Category
 * 7) * The media source (e.g. BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger) of the image for:
 * 8) ** Stills/screenshots from an animation (images in Category:Animations)
 * 9) ** Story Mode CGs/images (images in Category:Story)
 * 10) ** Arcade Mode CGs/images (images in Category:Arcade Mode)
 * 11) ** Collaboration images/art with the collaborating series and relevant BlazBlue characters

At set intervals, the bot User:Deus Machina Nirvana will check recent changes and update the image's Gallery Metadata, which will let the image be pulled into the proper gallery sections.

About the gallery system

 * Template:Master Gallery invokes Module:Character Gallery
 * Images are pulled into each gallery section based on the Gallery Metadata template of each image.
 * The bot User:Deus Machina Nirvana checks recently-uploaded and recently-changed files to see if they are categorized with at least one gallery section, and if they are, fills out their Gallery Metadata based on the existing categories on the page.

Each section of Template:Gallery Metadata corresponds to a category on the wiki:

Categories that are linked to this system are marked with this message box:

Adding a section to the gallery

 * 1) Go to Module:Character Gallery/data. Add the new section.
 * 2) Make sure any new categories being used as "sections" in the gallery are included in Category:Media by Gallery Category (like Card Art, Birthday Art, etc)
 * 3) This can be achieved by adding  to the new category page
 * 4) Nirvana only checks and adds/updates Gallery Metadata for images with a category listed in Category:Media by Gallery Category
 * 5) Rerun Nirvana on past images uploaded with the new category (or categories) - requires python, pywikibot, the associated pywikibot scripts linked below, and access to Deus Machina Nirvana.
 * 6) OR manually add Template:Gallery Metadata to the images with the appropriate fields filled out.

Images that need verification of their characters and cameos
Some images, like birthday art and arcade CGs, have appearing character separated into "cameos" and "non-cameos". Nirvana attempts to categorize characters into cameos and non-cameos based on whether the character's name appears in the title of the image (e.g. File:BlazBlue_Central_Fiction_Nine_the_Phantom_Arcade_00(A).png), and may sometimes make mistakes. The following tracks images that Nirvana could not disambiguate.
