This wiki has a system implemented used to tag certain characters in images. This page is to explain that system.
General Information
Main and certain other important characters can be tagged in images. This will add them to their character image category, which then serves the character galleries of those characters.
- Lists of all taggable characters
| Tag name | Article | Category | Gallery |
|---|---|---|---|
| No taggable Star City characters yet | |||
How does it work?
The system is implemented through the screenshot templates that should be applied when uploading any screenshots from the show or related media. Instructions on how to apply these templates to files during upload or afterwards can be found in the article about the file info page, in the documentation of the parent template {{File information}}, as well as in this wiki's image policy.
For the vast majority of uploaded images - screenshots from episodes - this will be the template {{screenshot}}. This template uses a system that automatically tries to tag characters, if their name is in the filename. For the other screenshot template, they must be tagged manually (see below).
However, the automatic system is not perfect, for example, a correctly named file with "Gordo's car" in the filename would be tagged with Gordo, even if he is not on the image. Also, sometimes there might be more taggable characters on an image than mentioned in the filename. You may want to consider this system when naming your next screenshot.
False positives or missing persons can be tagged or untagged manually through parameters. The manual system is also to be used for the other screenshot templates without the automatic tagging implemented.
Tag/untag manually
The manual system uses the parameters tag and untag. They work with all screenshot templates, as well as with the parent {{file information}} template.
Note that the manual tag/untag system works with first names only, as there are too many characters that share the same surname.
- If a taggable person is on an image but is not tagged, you can fix it like this:
- Go to the file page of the image.
- Click the edit button to edit that page. You have to choose the source editor for this.
- You should find one of these file management templates on top of the edit window:
{{Screenshot}}/{{Screenshot PR}}/{{Screenshot BV}}/{{Episode image}}/{{File information}}
- Add the parameter
|tag=at the end of the template, before the closing curly brackets. - Add the first name of the person to tag behind the equal sign.
{{Screenshot|tag=edward}} - To tag more than one person, use a comma:
{{Episode image|tag=danielle,aleida}} - Save the page.
- Check if the name(s) appear in the file information box below the image (in the field "Tagged").
- If there is no such template on the page, you can add it. Read the documentation of the parent template {{File information}} to find the suitable template and for how to use it.
- Go to the file page of the image.
- Click the edit button to edit that page. You have to choose the source editor for this.
- You will find one of these file management templates on top of the edit window:
{{Screenshot}}/{{Screenshot PR}}/{{Screenshot BV}}/{{Episode image}}/{{File information}}
- Add the parameter
|untag=at the end of the template, before the closing curly brackets. - Add the first name of the person to untag behind the equal sign, e.g.
{{Screenshot|s|untag=edward}} - To untag more than one person, use a comma:
{{Screenshot|untag=molly,ellen}} - Save the page.
- Check if the name is gone from the file information box below the image (in the field "Tagged"). It may take a while for the image to also disappear from the category, that's normal.
