Full Violetta Wiki:Layout guide/Gallery pages

This layout guide explains the way all articles of the Gallery category should be displayed in terms of sections and their content. Please follow this layout when creating Gallery pages. This applies to all Gallery pages.

Galleries (Overall Layout)

All galleries have a specific order and layout that must be followed by every user on the wiki. Here it is how it works for all kinds of categories, characters, cast, pairings, episodes and more. We expect you to follow these rules on every page. If you have some questions/problems with these layout or rules, feel free to contact and administrator and we will try to reply to you as soon as possible.

General

This is how all galleries in general should be displayed. All galleries should start off with the "GalleryBox" template:

From there, the gallery of the cast member should be broken up on separate pages. The pages will be separated by year. Please follow the instructions below: On the actual gallery page of the cast member, which should be named "(CastMember)/Gallery", please use the template GP to create an easy navigation to the separate pages. Here is what you fill in to make the template:

{{GP
| image     = (Here put an image that best fits the gallery. 
The image should be written as the filename along with it's file type after it.
Ex: Picture.jpg)
| link      = (Put the name of the gallery)
| year      = (Put the year of the gallery)}}

Example: Template:GP

That will be used to send users to the separated galleries. Now here is what the cast member's gallery should be separated into:

Early years - The gallery page should be named like this: (CastMember)/Gallery/Early Years. This is where all of the pictures of the cast member from when they were born to 2011.

2012 - The gallery page should be named like this: (CastMember)/Gallery/2012. This is where all of the pictures of the cast member from the year 2012 are displayed.

2013 - The gallery page should be named like this: (CastMember)/Gallery/2013. This is where all of the pictures of the cast member from the year 2013 are displayed.

2014 - The gallery page should be named like this: (CastMember)/Gallery/2014. This is where all of the pictures of the cast member from the year 2014 are displayed.
