+ | Say there is artwork on a page. ''Too much artwork''. What do you do, then? Make a gallery subpage, of course. Such gallery subpages generally come in several flavors: cover galleries, character galleries, and place galleries. Cover galleries should be created if a book has more than one cover; character galleries -- if a character has more than four images; place galleries -- if there's no good way to insert all images into the page. This page is here to teach you how to do all of those. |

In-between the gallery tags, put each cover in its own row. The US covers always come first; typically, the UK covers are next, followed by other countries, unsorted (feel free to order them by how much you like them). If one country has multiple covers, they should be next to each other, in chronological order. For publishers in countries that do not use Latin alphabet, copy their original name, then add <code> / </code> and follow with English translation or transliteration (for example, "প্রতিচ্ছবি প্রকাশনী / Protichhobi Prokashoni", or "重庆出版社 / Chongqing Publishing House"). |

If you have a separate image of the cover artwork (i.e. the cover without the text), upload it as a regular image using {{t|art}} template, with <code><nowiki>|type={{cat tag|Books|Book}} cover</nowiki></code> and <code>|official=y</code> parameters. This will ensure that the image is properly categorized on the wiki. Do not put this image in the cover gallery; rather, link to it in the cover file, using the <code>|artwork</code> parameter in the {{t|Cover}} infobox. The best way to name the cover art is to append "art" to the name of the cover file; for example "RoW BG cover art.jpg" for "RoW BG cover.jpg". |

[[Spren]] present an additional complication in that they have several forms: the one they take in the [[Physical Realm]], the one they take in [[Shadesmar]], and when they're a [[Shardblade]]. If that case, you can still put official art in Official Artwork (though if there are too many depictions of the spren, you can divide it into two galleries - one for spren form, one for Shardblade form). For fanart, replace Portraits and Scenes with "As a spren" and "As a Shardblade" sections, and sort the images accordingly. |

− | === On artist attribution === |
||
− | You '''must''' always credit the artist of any piece of art you're adding to a character gallery. The only exception to this are book covers and other official material where you cannot find the artist; in case of fanart, however, if you do not know who did it, then you likely don't have the permission to use it, in which case it shouldn't be on the Coppermind in the first place. |
||
− | |||
− | When crediting the artist, one of three situations will occur: |
||
− | * The artist has their page in the [[Coppermind:Artists]] namespace (for example, [[Coppermind:Artists/Shuravf]]). In this case, link to it using the {{t|a}} template (ex. <code><nowiki>{{a|Shuravf}}</nowiki></code>) |
||
− | * The artist has their page in the main namespace (for example, [[Isaac Stewart]]); we're trying to parse this out, but it can still happen. Link them as you would a regular page. |
||
− | * The artist does not have a Coppermind page (for example, Adam J. Marin); this typically happens for cover artists and ''[[Call to Adventure: The Stormlight Archive]]'' artists. If this is an official artist, you do not have to add a link; if this is a fanartist who doesn't have their page for whatever reason, link the name to the social media profile the image came from, then let a Keeper know that we're missing an artist page. |

Link it with the {{t|for}} template as you would covers and characters, on top of the sections concerning the place's appearance or layout. The page itself will look like this: |

+ | If there is no artwork in any of these categories, feel free to drop them. For Maps, sort them from the most general to most specific (feel free to drop the map of the whole planet, though). For Scenery, only add images where the scenery is a major part of the piece; [[Shallan]] walking of a piece of yellow ground should not go into the gallery of [[Shattered Plains]] artwork, for example. If you have to peer under the character's armpits and squint your eyes to catch a glimpse of the scenery, it also shouldn't be there. If there are multiple pieces showing the same aspect of the place, try grouping them together. |
