Tgchan logo.png This is a template documentation page. It is transcluded into place.

This template inlines posts from fanart threads nicely with links to the post. In short, just pass the post number:

{{fanart|857}}

Which gives:

LinkToBoard.gif

In practice you probably want to put a whole bunch of these under a = Fanart = heading toward the bottom of the quest's page.


Advanced usage

board
Specify the board on which to find the post, e.g. |board=quest. The default is questdis.
caption
Put a caption below the image. Captions can contain limited markup, but shouldn't be too long.

Example

MarkupResult
= Fanart =
{{fanart|857|caption=Why [[Lohrke]]s are known for their hips.}}
{{fanart|798}}
{{fanart|515|caption=Deme encounters [[Deep|Ven]]}}

Maintenance notes

  • It depends on the set of redirects that let you look up kusaba resources by post number:
    • …kusaba/thumb-for/board/post…kusaba/board/thumb/thumbnail-filename
    • …kusaba/image-for/board/post…kusaba/board/src/fullsize-image-filename
    • …kusaba/thread-for/board/post…kusaba/board/res/thread.html#post
    • And because MediaWiki is kind of dumb, a hack that lets it ignore a .png extension on these and let the browser sort out the details with Content-Type.
  • It makes assumptions about the maximum size of thumbnail images, namely that they'll never exceed 250px width.
  • It doesn't play nice with galleries because Mediawiki syntax doesn't allow for external images in them.
