(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 several flavors: cover 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).
== Cover galleries ==
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").
=== On uploading covers ===
=== Good examples ===
If you're
* [[Elantris/Covers]] for a typical gallery with multiple covers
=== Official artwork ===
The '''Official artwork''' category should contain all of the character's appearances on book covers, interior art,
<code>SOURCE</code> should be where the artwork can be found in published materials. If there are many pieces of art from the same source or source type (for example, many covers featuring the character, or multiple ''[[Call to Adventure: Stormlight|Call to Adventure]]'' cards), create a second gallery in the same section, with the <code>caption</code> parameter naming the source.
* 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.
=== Good examples ===
== Location galleries ==
Location galleries will be fewer (people generally prefer to draw characters), but if there's enough images that you can't reasonably fit them on the page, it might be time for a gallery. Link it with the {{t|for}} template as you would
<pre class=mw-code>
</pre>
If there is no artwork in either of these categories, feel free to drop
If you're unsure of what a good location gallery looks like, check:
