Sketchpad.

(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 the character has more than four images, give or take a few. 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 (if you do not know how to upload a cover, refer to Help:Images#Uploading Files). 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").

Character galleries

A gallery subpage must be linked on the character's page; the best place for it is the character's
