MarioWiki:Galleries

Galleries are special pages given to subjects that are featured in enough images to warrant a dedicated, structured viewing area. If all the images can be included in the subject's main page without creating an excessively long gallery section, a separate page is unnecessary. This policy page outlines standards that must be followed when creating a gallery sub-page.

Policy

Types of Galleries

Sections

A section is used to divide images by type within a gallery to prevent having an unorganized wall of pictures. In general, images are classified under Logos, Artwork, Sprites/Models, Screenshots and Box art. The accepted order for these sections is as follows:

For Subject Galleries

Artwork (Including miscellaneous artwork found at the bottom of the gallery)

Sprites/Models

Screenshots

For Game Galleries

Logos

Artwork (Including miscellaneous artwork found at the bottom of the gallery)

Sprites/Models

Screenshots

Box art

Miscellaneous(images which have no real connection to each other)

By this standard, Box Arts and Logos are classified as separate sections. Box Art/Logos is no longer used unless there is only one logo available, in which case they should be merged for neatness.

A little bit of lenience can be given to a 'Miscellaneous' section, provided there are images which need a dedicated section that isn't already covered by sections that are present. For instance, The New Super Mario Bros. 2 Gallery has sections for official wallpapers and Facebook covers, as well as Swapnote stationery. These can both be placed as subsections under a 'Miscellaneous' heading.

For Miscellaneous Galleries

Any appropriate section title can be given to a Miscellaneous Gallery, as these galleries often cover subjects that require specific headings for their organisation.

Subsections

Some sections may be given subsections when appropriate, often when there are enough images that can be grouped under a common heading. Common examples of subsection titles for galleries include 'Group Artwork', 'Items' and 'Game Installments'. Any appropriate title can be given to a subsection provided that it accurately describes the images that it encompasses. Subsections do not require precise organisation. However, any miscellaneous subsections must be placed at the bottom.

Proper Formatting

In addition to the order the sections are displayed, some minor formatting standards should also be adhered to:

  • A brief opening sentence describing the gallery must be placed at the top of the article before the gallery itself. It must comply with the standards given by this proposal.
  • Section titles (such as Artwork) must use Heading 2 (==), Sub-sections (such as Group Artwork) use Heading 3 (===).
  • When formatting a gallery, <center> must be placed outside of the <gallery> tags like so:

<center><gallery>
File:Image.jpg|Caption
File:Image2.png|Caption
</center></gallery>

This centers all images and captions at once and is done to ensure neatness.
  • Similarily, <i> can be used to italicize all captions at once. This is very useful for character galleries.
