(current: Gallery guidelines?)

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 two flavors: cover galleries and character galleries. Cover galleries should be created if a book has more than one cover; character galleries -- if a character has more than four images. This page is here to teach you how to do both.

Cover galleries

Cover gallery should be linked on the book's 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). Link it like this: 

== Cover Gallery ==
{{for|/Covers|a cover gallery of BOOK}}

where BOOK is the full name of whatever book you're working on. Once you save the file, you should see a red link saying "/Covers". Click that to open the subpage, then copy and paste the basic template for all cover galleries: 

{{CoverToC|SERIES}}

This is a gallery for all known covers for ''[[BOOK]]''. For more information about each cover, including other editions and translations using the same art, check each file's individual page. 

<gallery widths=3000px heights=400px mode="packed">
FileName.extension | <center><small>Country</small></center> (Publisher)
</gallery> 

[[Category:Cover Galleries]]

SERIES should be replaced with the series code from {{CoverToC}}; this will produce a navigation bar with all the books in the series this one belongs to, letting the reader quickly browse all of them. For standalone titles, you can delete this row.

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 / and follow with English translation or transliteration (for example, "প্রতিচ্ছবি প্রকাশনী / Protichhobi Prokashoni", or "重庆出版社 / Chongqing Publishing House").

On uploading covers

Covers are uploaded the same way regular artwork is, via Special:Upload. In the summary box, copy the {{Cover}} template and fill in the blanks (you do not have to fill in all the blanks; refer to the template page for in-depth breakdown). It's best that the file be named BOOK COUNTRY cover.extension; for example, "RoW BG cover.jpg" for the Bulgarian cover of Rhythm of War. If there are multiple types of covers from one country, call the file BOOK COUNTRY TYPE cover.extension, for example "WoR HU Part 1 cover.jpg".

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

Character galleries

A gallery subpage must be linked on the character's page, at the top of the Appearance and Personality section. Such link should look like this: 

{{for|/Gallery|more images}}
