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

Revision as of 18:54, 1 June 2020

Create galleries as a subpage of the character's main page: e.g. Ragna the Bloodedge/Gallery
In the automatically generated boilerplate text:
- 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 names are different from their base page names, 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

Upload it via Upload Wizard. (ref. Help:Upload Wizard for general assistance with using Upload Wizard)
- For BlazBlue Radio insert images, please use Campaign:BBRadio to upload the images.
- For images from Twitter, Campaign:Twitter simplifies the process
Categorize the image with:
- The character: Category:Media by Character
- The category of gallery you want the image to appear in: Category:Media by Gallery Category
- The media source (e.g. BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger) of the image for:
  - Stills/screenshots from an animation (images in Category:Animations)
  - Story Mode CGs/images (images in Category:Story)
  - Arcade Mode CGs/images (images in Category:Arcade Mode)
  - 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 invoked 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:

{{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:

This page is part of an automated Gallery system. For more details, please refer to Help:Manual of Style/Character Pages/Gallery.

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.
