Technical Notes
Template: Gallery
Creates a gallery from template for the specified character. It will skip sections and subsections that the character does not have images for.
Template Usage
{{ Gallery | {{PAGENAME}} }} <-- with the idea that {{PAGENAME}} will evaluate to ie. Kagura Mutsuki
OR {{ Gallery | Kagura Mutsuki }} <-- this will also work
Template Code
<!-- MAIN ARTWORK -->
{{ Gallery Section | {{{1}}} | Main Artwork | | h2 | Main Artwork }}
<!-- SPRITES -->
{{#ifeq: 0 | {{#var:Battle}} + {{#var:Palette Reference}} + {{#var:Third Category}}
| <!-- all three subcategories are empty, don't make a section header-->
| <h2> Sprites </h2>
{{ Gallery Section | {{{1}}} | Battle | | h2 | Battle }}
{{ Gallery Section | {{{1}}} | Palette Reference | | h3 | Palette Reference }}
{{ Gallery Section | {{{1}}} | Portraits | | h2 | Portraits }}
}}
...
<!-- and so on with other categories and sub-categories -->
Template: Gallery Section
Creates a section header with the specified depth (h2, h3, h4, h5), and a gallery of all images that contain the two specified tags. If there are no images in the specified gallery, this code will not do anything. (That is, it is safe to call even when "Kagura Mutsuki" does not have images in "XBlaze" -- an extraneous "XBlaze" header will not appear on Kagura's gallery page.)
Template Usage
{{ Gallery Section
| Kagura Mutsuki <-- {{{1}}} Character name (Image category 1)
| Main Artwork <-- {{{2}}} Image Category 2
| <-- {{{3}}} Optional Image Category 3
| h2 <-- {{{4}}} Header depth (h2, h3, h4, h5)
| Main Artwork <-- {{{5}}} Section header.
}}
ie. {{ Gallery Section | Kagura Mutsuki | Main Artwork | | h2 | Main Artwork }}
Template Code
{{#vardefine: {{{2}}} {{{3}}} |
{{#ask:
[[Category: {{{1}}} ]]
[[Category: {{{2}}} ]]
{{#if:{{{3|}}}
| [[Category: {{{3}}} ]] | }}
| format=count
}}
}}{{#ifeq: 0 | {{#var: {{{2}}} {{{3}}} }} | <!-- do nothing if no images --> |
{{#switch:{{{4}}}
|h2=<h2>{{{5}}}</h2>
|h3=<h3>{{{5}}}</h3>
}}
{{#ask:
[[Category:{{{1}}}]]
[[Category:{{{2}}}]]
{{#if:{{{3|}}}
| [[Category: {{{3}}} ]] | }}
|?caption
|format=gallery
|autocaptions=no
