Description
This template is used to make portrait galleries.
- Dependencies
This template uses File:NoPicAvailable.png, as well as several subtemplates.
Syntax
The template works is to be called as follows:
{{Portrait Gallery
|template= the name of the template
|title= the title
|colorscheme= the color scheme
| portrait code
| another portrait code
| a third portrait code
| etc.
}}
The "portrait code" is peculiar. It consists of three parts, separated by backslashes ("\"). For example, Template:Code is a portrait code.
- The first part is the text that is to be showed below the portrait.
- The second part is the name of the portrait picture (without link brackets or "File:"). It is optional: if it is not present, it is taken to be "XXX Portrait.png", with "XXX" being the text in the third part. Also, there is a special "NOPIC" value: it uses File:NoPicAvailable.png.
- The third part is the name of the page the portrait and text link to. It is optional: if it is not present, it is taken to be the same as the text (excluding parentheses). Also, there is a special "NOLINK" value, for cases when the portrait should not link to any page.
The title and colorscheme are self-explanatory. The template parameter should be given the name of the template page (warning: {{PAGENAME}} does not work!); if present, it allows the gallery to feature template links on the left of the title.
