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 use 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.
