navigation box template

[fading shoal]

I do know there is a post asking the exact same thing however the tread is likely dead and im too newbie to understand what a gallery tag is.
I want to do the images with text underneath in a grid, also want to easily change pics and text for another page

and yeah I do know I did ask this in a previous thread along with another question but worked on a different section for like almost a month, old thread is no longer there

Example.jpg
Example2.png|caption text
Example3.png|link=Help:Contents
Example4.png|caption [[Help:Links|with a link]]|link=Help:Contents
Example5.png|alt=A flower
...
</gallery>```

That's how a basic Gallery works

Example1.png|Caption 1
Example2.png|Caption 2
Example3.png|Caption 3
Example4.png|Caption 2
Example5.png|Caption 2
Example6.png|Caption 2
</gallery>```

This will put 3 images per row

Link to your wiki?

[fading shoal]

yes https://nobulsstoryofthetimes.miraheze.org/wiki/WIP_main_page

[edgy shale]

It seems the image wasn't uploaded.
https://nobulsstoryofthetimes.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Upload

Can I make an edit for you?

[fading shoal]

yes

[edgy shale]

By using <center></center> it looks cleaner, and you do not need to add many spaces to find out where the center is. 😉

And keep a print out for most often used codes
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting

But use the Special:Upload for uploading the files you want, and name them in the Gallery according the "file name"
(If the name is "File:Example1.png" → Example1.png | Example 1 in the Gallery)

[fading shoal]

ohhh thats what the problem was

[edgy shale]

And check the edit I made: https://nobulsstoryofthetimes.miraheze.org/wiki/WIP_main_page?diff=prev&oldid=27

[fading shoal]

I see

prob going to have to add a page to keep notes to remember

[edgy shale]

In [[mh:nobulsstoryofthetimes:MediaWiki:Sidebar]] you can add the link to the sidebar/menu.
* mw:Help:Formatting | Help:Formatting

It will always be there no matter which page you are on

[spice furnace]

https://nobulsstoryofthetimes.miraheze.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Sidebar

[fading shoal]

oh yeah I was trying to figure out how to do that but gave up a week ago

[edgy shale]

The link Help about MediaWiki will bring you to a valuable source on how to work on your wiki

[fading shoal]
