Help:Galleries

Photo galleries and slideshows are simple tools to display your wiki's interesting images. The following help page describes how to use and customize this feature in the rich text editor. (Please see Help:Galleries and slideshows/wikitext for detailed wikitext instructions.)

Creating a gallery

 * To create a gallery, click the PhotosIcon.png button in the editor.
 * A pop-up will appear, giving you the option to choose to create either a slideshow or a gallery. Click the image on the right labeled "Create Gallery".




 * Once you select gallery, you will be brought to the gallery builder window. The first tab is for the gallery layout which will allow you to add, move and remove photos, choose image size, spacing and layout.




 * When you choose a picture to add, you will be brought to a window that allows you to add in a caption and link the picture to a specific article on your wiki.




 * Once you've chosen your pictures you can customize the borders and captions by clicking on the second tab. Here you'll be able to determine the position, color, alignment and size of the caption. You can also choose the color and width of the border around the gallery.




 * When you've finished customizing your gallery click save and your gallery will appear on the page!

If you'd like to modify an existing gallery, click the "Add a photo" button under the existing gallery when viewing an article, or hover over it and choose "modify" while editing the page.

Creating a slideshow

 * To create a slideshow, click the PhotosIcon.png button in the editor. This will give you a window where you can choose between creating a slideshow or a gallery. Choose the "Create Slideshow" button on the left.




 * Once you select slideshow, you will be brought to the slideshow builder window. This window will allow you to add, move and remove pictures, choose sizes and crop pictures.
 * In the slideshow builder you can also choose to have every new picture that is added to your wiki automatically included in the slideshow. To choose that option for your slideshow mark the checkbox.




 * Once you're done, click save, and your slideshow will show on the saved page. You can watch the slideshow or click through the photos, and even "zoom" the slideshow to a bigger version by clicking the zoom icon ([icon]) at the bottom left.

To to modify an existing slideshow, click the "Add a photo" button just under the slideshow when viewing an article, or hover over it and choose "modify" while editing it.
