Images in infobox edit
Hi, re this edit - thanks for the image, but I've had to fix it up a bit. The thing is, using the "thumb" option on an image puts an extra frame around it, which we don't do within infoboxes (they already have an outer frame). The {{Infobox UK station}}
template has several parameters for images: these do include |image=
, but the ones most commonly used are |image_name=
and |caption=
, and I have amended the article to use these, see here. --Redrose64 (talk) 18:40, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
Talkpage request for image edit
Hi, me again: re this - partly right. Removal of the {{reqphoto|transport|in=Cheshire|of=the entrance of the station or a station sign}}
was valid, because it didn't form part of a discussion (see WP:TPO), but there is another thing that would normally have been done too. At the top of the page you will see two lines beginning {{WikiProject Cheshire}}
and {{TrainsWikiProject}}
- these are WikiProject banners, and they often contain a marker denoting that an image is required. In this case, the first one doesn't; but the second does, it is the parameter |imageneeded=yes
- the presence of that parameter means that the page is in Category:Rail transport articles needing images. To deactivate this, you can either alter it to |imageneeded=no
; remove the word "yes"; or remove it entirely, as here. --Redrose64 (talk) 19:55, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
- Hiya.
- Thank you so much for your help, correcting my errors, and just for being around. I'm pleased there is a Wikipedia Jedi keeping an eye on the newbies like myself. I discovered during the early hours of Friday morning that a handful of my images had been used here, and the buzz this gave me was so intense that I wanted more. I ran out with my camera today and took pictures for a page that needed them, and uploaded and edited without reading any of the copious amounts of instructions, guides and FAQs that I should have been reading.
- I hereby solemnly swear to read the instructions and learn what I'm doing before the next edit I make. Honest. :-)
More assistance edit
Hi, re this edit - templates need the pipe character - | - between the template name and the first parameter, as well as between each parameter; so try {{nutshell|Part time amateur photographer, full time nerd}}

Turning categories into links edit
Hi, as you probably noticed before making this edit, putting a category name between two pairs of square brackets doesn't create a link, but places the page into that category. If you do wish to make a regular link to a category, there are two ways of doing this. One is to use the {{cl}}
template without the word "Category:" - that is, {{cl|Wikipedia requested images}}
produces Category:Wikipedia requested images. The other way is to use the normal double square bracket syntax, but insert a colon before the word "Category:" as well as after it - that is, [[:Category:Wikipedia requested images]]
produces Category:Wikipedia requested images. --Redrose64 (talk) 12:26, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
