Portal talk:San Francisco Bay Area/Selected picture/Archive
![]() | California: San Francisco Bay Area Portal‑class | |||||||||
|
This page lists all the selected pictures at the SFBA portal, in order, to help with avoiding duplicates, and to see the variety of images listed. to add an image, choose a FM, Quality image or valued image from the commons, or one which shows an aspect of the Bay Area not already documented in this selection. then, add the image to this list. You will need to update the parameters on the main page by 1 for each image you add.
Click on the first redlink on the page (current example is "60"), and create the page with the following text:
<center>[[Image:IMAGE NAME|600px(350px if a portrait image)]]</center> <center>IMAGE DESCRIPTION WITH APPROPRIATE LINKS, INCLUDING '''[[ARTICLE NAME FOR MAIN SUBJECT OF IMAGE]]'''</center> <div style="text-align: right; direction: ltr; margin-left: 1em;"><small>image credit: [[User:Username|Username]]</small></div> [[Category:San Francisco Bay Area portal selected picture pages]]
adjust the image size as appropriate. Then, increase the parameter by +1 at Portal:San Francisco Bay Area, at the wikimarkup code:
{{Random portal component|max=59|header=Selected picture|footer=<small><small>| subpage=Selected picture}}
This means the above sample would go from 59 to 60. if you make the parameter too large, you get a blank space where an image should be.
Then, copy the newly created subpages contents, minus the category, to this pages section for it. This duplicates the content, so any further editing must be done twice, but it also makes it easy to edit this page in general.
