This is a template documentation page. It is transcluded into place.

This template inlines posts from fanart threads nicely with links to the post (click the LinkToBoard.gif icon).

A post ID number is the only required input.

Optional Parameters

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.
by
Attribute the image's artist. Will be linked automatically.
mouseover
Specifies mouseover text for the thumbnail.

Examples

Description Code Output
Short and simple.
Just the provide the post ID number.

Credit the artist, if you know who they are.
It's okay to leave it blank if you don't know and the artist didn't leave their name.

Captions can be informative or silly.
You can put links inside of captions.

Long captions may extend past the edge of the thumbnail, which doesn't look great.

You can make long captions look better by using <br> to manually break up lines

You can also hide text that will appear when people move their cursor over the thumbnail.

If you want to link an image that's not on the /questdis/ board, you need to specify the board name.

  • Template:questart A renamed version of the fanart template. Maybe someone once intended to differentiate these templates, but currently using one or the other is just a formatting convention.
  • Template:Flash The fanart template, but for flash.
  • Template:Fanfile The fanart template, but for mp4s.
  • Template:Fanaudio The fanart template, but for audio files.
  • Template:Fakeart The fanart template, but it lets you pick a different thumbnail for fakeouts.
  • Template:Comic Provides a text link to an image posted on the board, instead of providing a thumbnail.
  • Template:NSFWsubpage Used to segregate NSFW images when creating galleries for quests.

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 gallery tags (<gallery></gallery>) because Mediawiki syntax doesn't allow for external images in them.
