You should probably *NOT* be using this template anymore, but Template:Expedition Images2/How-to

Make sure to change the "auto gallery" in the referring page to "auto gallery2".

When creating a new Expedition Images gallery, please copy the following code to the new page:

<!-- Please  do not include more than 1 photo per graticule. -->
<!-- See Template:Expedition Images/How-to for more information. -->

{{Gallery | height=130 | lines=1
| File:2010-05-13-60-9-P1060061.JPG | [[2010-05-13 60 9|Flå, Norway]]
}}

Don't forget to copy the gallery limits as well as the gallery code itself, so as to alert others to the rules.

Formatting

Each line within the {{Gallery...}} template is to be in the format:

| File:IMAGE NAME | [[MEETUP PAGE TITLE|LOCATION]]

One pipe "|" at the beginning, one in the middle, no pipe at the end.
Image names should conform to the standard YYYY-MM-DD LAT LON DESCRIPTION or YYYY-MM-DD global DESCRIPTION naming method.
Meetup pages should conform to the standard YYYY-MM-DD LAT LON or YYYY-MM-DD global.
Location names should be brief, but descriptive... generally "City, Country" (or "City, State" in the case of the United States).
- Generally speaking, one should include the location of the geohash itself; however, in cases where this might be ambiguous or otherwise confusing, the graticule name as listed at All Graticules will suffice.

Guidelines

Some guidelines for the gallery subpages...

For each day include not more than one image from each graticule, especially if space is limited. Share the wealth...
Use an existing Images subpage as a starting point for creating a new one, or follow the how-to.
Add new photos to the start of the gallery.
Please exercise judgment as to whether your photo is genuinely worth adding to the gallery, especially if it would mean removing one of the existing photos where space is limited.
