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.
== Component's of MediaWiki Gallery Coding ==
On an article subpage, first use <code><nowiki><gallery></nowiki></code>. Then, ''on a new line'', enter <code><nowiki>File:FILENAME.EXT</nowiki></code>, where <code>FILENAME.EXT</code> is the filename (and extension) of the file you wish to add to the gallery. Repeat this for all images you wish to add, each on a new line. Finally, use <code><nowiki></gallery></nowiki></code> to complete the gallery. You may add vertical bars (<code>|</code>) after the individual file names followed by some text, to caption each image. If you wish to center your overall gallery, enter <code><nowiki><center></nowiki></code> before <code><nowiki><gallery></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki></center></nowiki></code> after <code><nowiki></gallery></nowiki></code>.
You can use a few different parameters in the first <code><nowiki><gallery></nowiki></code> tag (separated by spaces) to change some aspects of the gallery. Some basic parameters are:
; Mode
: Use <code>mode=</code> to create an overall aesthetic for the gallery using one of the below paramenters.
* <code>traditional</code> Original gallery type used by MediaWiki.
* <code>nolines</code> Similar to traditional. No borders, less padding, captions centered under images.
* <code>packed</code> All images aligned by having same height, justified, captions centered under images The rows in this responsive mode organize themselves according to the width of the screen.
* <code>packed-overlay</code> Like packed, but caption overlays the image, in a translucent box.
* <code>packed-hover</code> Like packed-overlay, but caption is only visible on hover.
* <code>slideshow</code> Slideshow
;Widths
: Use <code>widths=</code> followed by a number and "px" to change the default width of all images in the gallery.
;Caption
: Use <code>caption=</code> followed by some text inside of quotation marks (<code>""</code>) to provide a caption for the gallery.
;Images per row
: Use <code>perrow=</code> followed by a number to set the number of images that will appear per row. The number of images per row will adjust dynamically with the window size if this is omitted.
== Cover galleries ==
A book's cover gallery should be linked on the its main page, near the bottom (there is no set place for them, but they will generally be above the "See also" and "Statistical analysis" sections, but underneath "Summary"). Link it like this:
