Template:Expedition Images/How-to

From Geo Hashing

When creating a new Expedition Images gallery, please copy the following code to the new page:

<!-- Please limit weekdays to 4 images, Saturdays to 12, and Sundays to 8. -->
<!-- Please limit to 1 photo per graticule. -->
<!-- See Template:Expedition Images/How-to for more information. -->

<gallery widths="160px" align=center>

</gallery>

Don't forget to copy the gallery limits as well as the gallery code itself, so as to alert others to the rules.

[edit] Formatting

Each line within the <gallery>...</gallery> tags is to be in the format:

Image:IMAGE NAME|[[MEETUP PAGE TITLE|LOCATION]]

• Image names should conform to the standard YYYY-MM-DD LAT LON DESCRIPTION naming method.
• Meetup pages should conform to the standard YYYY-MM-DD LAT LON.
• Location names should be brief, but descriptive... generally "City, Country" (or "City, State" in the case of the United States).
  • Generally speaking, one should include the location of the geohash itself; however, in cases where this might be ambiguous or otherwise confusing, the graticule name as listed at All Graticules will suffice.

[edit] Guidelines

Some guidelines for the gallery subpages...

• Include only one image from each graticule, especially if space is limited. Share the wealth...
• Each weekday is to get four images in a <gallery> tag.
  • Weekends may have extra (12 for Saturday and 8 for Sunday seems to work).
• Use an existing Images subpage as a starting point for creating a new one, or follow the how-to.
• Add new photos to the start of the gallery.
• Please exercise judgment as to whether your photo is genuinely worth adding to the gallery, especially if it would mean removing one of the existing photos where space is limited.
