[edit] My Travels

I am a traveler, as many of you may have noticed. I have been to the following places:

Well, I have been gone for a while. My latest trip: A road trip from Boulder to Washington, then Canada, and back to Boulder.


[edit] A Bit More About Me

  • I have written a book under a pseudonym. You probably have not read it. It sold 3 copies online and about ten from my hand.
  • I am a PADI Certified Scuba Diver

An image placeholder is a dummy image designed to draw attention to the need for an actual image.

[edit] What it is

The fromowner system is what kicks in when you click one of the images on the right. It is designed to draw attention to the need for free images and make uploading easy for new users.

[edit] Notes on use

[edit] The image

Image:Replace this image male.svg or Image:Replace this image female.svg may be placed on articles about people that have no current free image. It should not be placed on articles about other subjects. The image should be placed at the top so that the image code is visible when the edit tab is clicked.

For pages without infoboxes the following format is generally best:

<span {{image class|Replace this image male.svg}}>[[Image:Replace this image male.svg|thumb|right]]</span>

Template:image class (backlinks, edit) provides the CSS class "dummy", which allows users to use CSS to suppress the display of the dummy image.

Typically code like this is also built into infobox templates.

There are various different types of infoboxes but for calling them one of the following should normally work:

image=Replace this image male.svg|width=150|

| image=Replace this image male.svg
| image size=150px

The image Image:Replace this image1.svg was formerly used - this is now being phased out.

[edit] Sorting the results

Images uploaded through this system end up in Category:Images of people replacing placeholders. A lot of the images uploaded through the system are copyright violations. Those that appear not to be should have their image copyright tag replaced with {{|Multilicense replacing placeholder|class=people|reviewed=1}} to keep them separate from the stuff that needs to be deleted.

[edit] How it works

This section discusses some rather obscure mediaWiki functions and is only really of interest to administrators who need to make changes to it. Otherwise don't let it worry you.

The fromowner system involves a number of elements:

[edit] Fobuild pages

[edit] Fogen pages

[edit] CSS class

See also {{image class}}.
