Help:Manual of Style/Character Pages/Gallery: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 03:08, 9 September 2019

General Notes

PAGE NAME: Create the page under the character's main page: e.g. Ragna the Bloodedge/Gallery
In the generated boilerplate text:
- Don't forget to replace Ragna the Bloodedge with the name of the character the page is being created for.
- In the case of the Murakumo units, whose display name is different from their base page name, use {{Character Tabs|Λ-No.11-|Lambda-11}} where Λ-No.11- is the name of her main overview page and Lambda-11 is the name that her subpages are on (Lambda-11/Gameplay, etc)

How to add an image to a character's gallery

If the image isn't uploaded on the wiki yet, upload it. (ref. Help:Upload Wizard for assistance)
- Pay attention to which categories to add to it (see below).
- For BlazBlue Radio insert images, please use Campaign:BBRadio to upload the images.
Make sure the image is categorized with at least:
- the character(s) appearing in the image, and
- one of the categories denoting gallery sections.
If the image belongs to one of the following gallery sections/categories, then it also needs to be categorized with its source for it to show up in a gallery.
- Still/screenshot from an animation (Category:Animations)
- Story Mode CG/image (Category:Story)
- Arcade Mode CG/image (Category:Arcade Mode)
Collaboration image/art only needs to be categorized by the collaborating series and character; it doesn't need to be explicitly put into the Collaborations gallery section nor tagged with a BlazBlue game for it to show up in a gallery

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

How the system is set up

Template:Master Gallery defines the standard gallery layout for a character gallery.
Images are pulled into each gallery section based on the data in the Gallery Metadata template on their page.
The bot User:Deus Machina Nirvana checks recently-uploaded and recently-changed files (pages in the File namespace) 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:

{{Gallery Metadata
|characters=Category:Media by Character
|cameos=Category:Media by Character
|locations=Category:Media by Location
|weapons=Category:Media by Weapon
|source=Category:Media by Source, Category:Media from Novels, Category:Media from Manga, Category:Media from Collaborations
|artists=Category:Media by Artist
|section=Category:Media by Gallery Category
|date=
|caption=
}}

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