Portal talk:San Francisco Bay Area/Selected historical image/Archive

This portal does not require a rating on Wikipedia's content assessment scale. It is of interest to the following WikiProjects:

California: San Francisco Bay Area This page is within the scope of WikiProject California, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of the U.S. state of California on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the discussion and see a list of open tasks.CaliforniaWikipedia:WikiProject CaliforniaTemplate:WikiProject CaliforniaCalifornia articles This page is supported by San Francisco Bay Area task force.

This page lists all the selected historical images at the SFBA portal, in order, to help with avoiding duplicates, and to see the variety of images listed. to add an image, choose a FM, Quality image or valued image from the commons, or one which shows an aspect of the Bay Area not already documented in this selection. then, add the image to this list. You will need to update the parameters on the main page by 1 for each image you add.

Click on the first redlink below (current example is "1"), and create the page with the following text:

<center>[[Image:IMAGE NAME|600px(350px if a portrait image)]]</center> <center>IMAGE DESCRIPTION WITH APPROPRIATE LINKS, INCLUDING '''[[ARTICLE NAME FOR MAIN SUBJECT OF IMAGE]]'''</center> <div style="text-align: right; direction: ltr; margin-left: 1em;"><small>image credit: [[User:"username"|"username"]]</small></div> [[Category:San Francisco Bay Area portal selected historical image pages]]

adjust the image size as appropriate. Then, increase the parameter by +1 at Portal:San Francisco Bay Area, at the wikimarkup code:

{{Random portal component|max=0|header=Selected historical image|footer=<small><small>| subpage=Selected historical image}}

This means the above sample would go from 0 to 1. if you make the parameter too large, you get a blank space where an image should be.

Then, copy the newly created subpages contents, minus the category, to this pages section for it. This duplicates the content, so any further editing must be done twice, but it also makes it easy to edit this page in general.
