This template inlines posts from fanart threads nicely with links to the post (click the 
icon).
A post ID number is the only required input.
Optional Parameters
- 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.
- mouseover
- Specifies mouseover text for the thumbnail.

Captions can be informative or silly.
You can put links inside of captions.

| Long captions may extend past the edge of the thumbnail, which doesn't look great.

 | | Here's some Moon Elf from Audit | |
|
You can make long captions look better by using <br> to manually break up lines
|

Moon Elf
from Audit | |
|
| You can also hide text that will appear when people move their cursor over the thumbnail.

- Template:questart A renamed version of the fanart template. Maybe someone once intended to differentiate these templates, but currently using one or the other is just a formatting convention.
- Template:Flash The fanart template, but for flash.
- Template:Fanfile The fanart template, but for mp4s.
- Template:Fanaudio The fanart template, but for audio files.
- Template:Fakeart The fanart template, but it lets you pick a different thumbnail for fakeouts.
- Template:Comic Provides a text link to an image posted on the board, instead of providing a thumbnail.
- Template:NSFWsubpage Used to segregate NSFW images when creating galleries for quests.
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 gallery tags (
<gallery></gallery>) because Mediawiki syntax doesn't allow for external images in them.
