Template:Portal pictures

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template uses Lua:

Module:Portal pictures

The pages listed in this category are templates.

This page is part of OODA WIKI's administration and not part of the encyclopedia.

Further template category notes

This category contains pages in the template namespace. It should not be used to categorize articles or pages in other namespaces.

To add a template to this category:

If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add
[[Template:Portal pictures]]
to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add
<noinclude>[[Template:Portal pictures]]</noinclude>
to the end of the template code, making sure it starts on the same line as the code's last character.

This category is an index of templates which use TemplateStyles. It is automatically populated by {{Uses TemplateStyles}}. This template is used to display a random selection of pictures on portals. When this template is used, all pictures are listed using a single page.

Template supports using pictures of the day and custom images. When transcluded on a subpage, template shows a list gallery of all pictures. When transcluded on a basepage (i.e. main page of a portal), templates shows a randomized slideshow of the pictures.

Template does not support showing video files.

Usage

Put wikitext Template:Tlsx on the portal subpage, e.g. Portal:Sports/Selected picture and save. Add pictures to the template per instructions in the comments.

When the subpage is ready, put wikitext:

{{/Selected picture}}

on the main portal page, e.g. Portal:Sports.

To find appropriate pictures, use search box below, from {{POTD subpage search box}}:

Template:POTD subpage search box

Parameters

|1=, |2=, |3=...: Dates of the picture of the day in YYYY-MM-DD format. These should be the names of subpages of Template:POTD. See OODA WIKI:Picture of the day/Archive.
|i1=, |title1=, |credit1=, |caption1=
|i2=, |title2=, |credit2=, |caption2=
|i3=, |title3=, |credit3=, |caption3=...: Use numbered parameters to display images, which don't have a POTD subpage.
|more=: Wikitext for the footer. For example, |more=[[Portal:Sports/Selected picture|More selected pictures...]]. Optional. Defaults to [[Portal:{{ROOTPAGENAME}}/Selected picture|More selected pictures]].
|more=no: Special value of parameter |more= to not show the footer.
|subpage=: Name of the subpage if it is different from the default "Selected picture", e.g. |subpage=Selected pictures. Optional.

Legacy subpages

If the portal has legacy subpages (e.g. Portal:Brazil/Selected picture/20) and you wish to re-use them via {{Portal pictures}}, pass the maximum subpage number via parameter |subpagemax=. The template will automatically pick up all subpages from one to the maximum number. By default, "Selected picture" is used as root subpage. Custom subpage can be specified via parameter |subpage=, e.g. |subpage=Featured picture. Example of such usage can seen at Portal:Brazil/Selected picture.

Examples

See usage of {{Portal pictures}} at Portal:History/Featured picture, Portal:Sports/Selected picture, and Portal:Arthropods/Selected picture.

With the exception of alttext, the named parameters are toggles that are either omitted (default in most cases) or activated (by being assigned a value such as "on", "yes", "true", "include", etc.). They may be included in any order (see Examples below). Certain templates have the parameter "on" by default; see the main table for all alternate options.

nowrap	Prevent the insertion of line breaks (word wrap) in the output	{{example}}
nowrapname	Prevent word wrapping in the output of template name/link (parameters will wrap if needed)	{{example}}
plaincode	Uses `‎<code style="border:none; background:transparent;">...‎</code>`	`{{example}}`	{{tltss}}
subst	Include a subst: prefix before the template link/name	{{subst:example}}	{{tls}}, {{tlxs}}, etc
alttext=`[text]`	Replace `[text]` with the actual label to be displayed for the template link	{{Other}}	{{tla}}
_show_result	Will also display the result of the template	`{{Min\|7\|-5}}` → -5
_expand	Will add a link to the expanded template page	`{{Min\|7\|-5}}` [1]

This template can take any number of unnamed parameters as parameters accompanying the template link (or name); see Examples below.
