Template:Fanart/Doc

This is a template documentation page. It is transcluded into place.

This template inlines posts from fanart threads nicely with links to the post. (If you want to inline so other art from the board, use questart, which is otherwise exactly the same.) In short, just pass the post number:

{{fanart|857}}

Which gives:

In practice you probably want to put a whole bunch of these under a = Fanart = heading toward the bottom of the quest's page.

Advanced usage

board

Specify the board on which to find the post, e.g. |board=quest. The default is questdis.

caption

Put a caption below the image. Captions can contain limited markup, but shouldn't be too long.

by

Attribute the image's artist. Will be linked automatically.

Example

Maintenance notes

• It depends on the set of redirects that let you look up kusaba resources by post number:
  • …kusaba/thumb-for/board/post → …kusaba/board/thumb/thumbnail-filename
  • …kusaba/image-for/board/post → …kusaba/board/src/fullsize-image-filename
  • …kusaba/thread-for/board/post → …kusaba/board/res/thread.html#post
  • And because MediaWiki is kind of dumb, a hack that lets it ignore a .png extension on these and let the browser sort out the details with Content-Type.
• It makes assumptions about the maximum size of thumbnail images, namely that they'll never exceed 250px width.
• It doesn't play nice with galleries because Mediawiki syntax doesn't allow for external images in them.
