Template:Expedition Images/How-to
From Geohashing
< Template:Expedition Images
Revision as of 13:36, 31 May 2010 by imported>Relet (replacing with template:gallery as per this discussion. Let's see how it turns out.)
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 | alt1=The end of the track as we know it. | [[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. If you are using the alt1,alt2,... tags (to add an image description for those who cannot see images), make sure to increase the number for every entry in the gallery.
Formatting
Each line within the <gallery>...</gallery>
tags is to be in the format:
Image:IMAGE NAME|[[MEETUP PAGE TITLE|LOCATION]]
- Image names should conform to the standard
YYYY-MM-DD LAT LON DESCRIPTION
naming method. - Meetup pages should conform to the standard
YYYY-MM-DD LAT LON
. - 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.
