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, interior art galleries, character galleries, and location galleries. Cover galleries should be created if a book has more than one cover; character galleries -- if a character has more than four images (usually; if you're unsure, check with a [[Coppermind:Keepers|Keeper]]); location 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.
This page concerns only the general creation of gallery subpages; for a minutiae of galleries, see [[Help:Images#Galleries]]. Also, keep in mind, those aren't be-all and end-all rules. The following outlines how things should generally be done, but if you feel like something is weird, or have an odd edge case, don't hesitate to bring it up, or modify the subpage (within reason).
* [[Mistborn: The Final Empire/Covers]] for a gallery with multiple US covers
* [[Snapshot/Covers]] for a gallery with few covers
== Interior art galleries ==
Interior art galleries consist only of full-page artwork (or double-page spreads) within the book. Link to them on the book's page, underneath the link to cover gallery, like this:
<pre class=mw-code>
== Interior Art ==
{{for|/Interior art|a gallery of the book's interior art}}
</pre>
Once you follow the redlink, the basic scheme of the page is thus:
<pre class=mw-code>
This is a gallery of interior art for ''[[BOOK]]''. For more information about each piece, including transcripts of the text (when needed), check each file's individual page.
<gallery widths=3000px heights=300px mode="packed" caption="Maps">
FileName.extension | <center><small>by {{a|ARTIST}}</small></center> Description
</gallery>
<gallery widths=3000px heights=300px mode="packed" caption="Other artwork">
FileName.extension | <center><small>by {{a|ARTIST}}</small></center> Description
</gallery>
[[Category:Interior art]]
</pre>
If there are multiple art pieces of the same category (for example, multiple pages from [[Shallan's sketchbook]]), you can further divide the "Other artwork" into two galleries, with appropriate <code>caption</code> names. Endsheets should always go first, before the "Maps" gallery, divided into separate galleries for front and back. If there are multiple versions of an artwork file, pick one (for artwork like [[Navani's notebook]] pages, use the version with translation), and if there are multiple images on the Coppermind that are fragments of the same source picture, only include the original piece of art, and not its derivatives.
Some books have leatherbound re-releases, which will often include new artwork. In that case, divide this page into two sections, like this:
<pre class=mw-code>
== Original artwork ==
This is the artwork that was in the book at release.
(original artwork galleries go here)
== Leatherbound art ==
This artwork was added to the book in its Tenth Anniversary leatherbound re-release.
<gallery widths=3000px heights=300px mode="packed">
FileName.extension | <center><small>by {{a|ARTIST}}</small></center> Description
</gallery>
</pre>
