A number of entries have already been done to show what is expected. Note that the Page number links are repeated several times - this is because there are frequently multiple images on an album page, the first six rows are all "Page 5".


To add new entries:


# Familiarize yourself with the examples already done.
# Have two browser windows open, one to look at the Album and the second to Edit the Index page.
# In the index, go into edit mode and go down to the next line of input - the line will start:  "| GA013 ||" Read the description, and go to the other browser window and find the page the image is on in the album
# Note the Page number  - It says something like Page 6 of 96.
# Click the link button and copy the link
# In the edit window replace the "GA013" with the link
# At the end of the link add a space and the page number and enclose the whole in brackets the complete link should look like exactly like the previous entries but a different P number
# Save the page
# Go ontop the next entry, remembering the code will be the same for multiple images on a page, so you can just copy/paste the code.


 
An alternative way, is just copy the previous link and replace a. The P number b. the page number - this in some ways is a lot simpler to do.
 
1. Note the next row where you need to place link - note the image descriptioon
 
2. Go to the correct page in the album that matches the description, centre it in the window, note the page number
 
3. Click the link button, select and copy the link
 
4. Go to the wiki page, select GA013 and paste the link e.g. a link to Page 5:
 
[[https://pubs.bgs.ac.uk/publications.html?pubID=GA013#v=d&z=2&n=5&i=P803791.jp2&y=305&x=375]]
 
https://pubs.bgs.ac.uk/publications.html?pubID=GA013#v=d&z=2&n=5&i=P803791.jp2&y=366&x=358 Page 5]]
 
[[https://pubs.bgs.ac.uk/publications.html?pubID=GA013#v=d&z=2&n=5&i=P803791.jp2&y=305&x=375 Page 5]]
 
 
 
5. Add enclosing brackets and Page number, insert non-breaking space between the word Page and the actual number e.g. Page 5 (View in edit mode)
 
.Page 5 (View in Edit mode)
 
6. The link address will be the same for all the images on the page, so it can be copy/pasted for the entries for the other images on the album page.

Instructions

Open the wiki page and the Album viewer in adjacent windows

The task is to replace the existing text 'GA013' with the full link to the specific page for the listed item.

A number of entries have already been done to show what is expected. Note that the Page number links are repeated several times - this is because there are frequently multiple images on an album page, the first six rows are all "Page 5".

To add new entries:

  1. Familiarize yourself with the examples already done.
  2. Have two browser windows open, one to look at the Album and the second to Edit the Index page.
  3. In the index, go into edit mode and go down to the next line of input - the line will start: "| GA013 ||" Read the description, and go to the other browser window and find the page the image is on in the album
  4. Note the Page number - It says something like Page 6 of 96.
  5. Click the link button and copy the link
  6. In the edit window replace the "GA013" with the link
  7. At the end of the link add a space and the page number and enclose the whole in brackets the complete link should look like exactly like the previous entries but a different P number
  8. Save the page
  9. Go ontop the next entry, remembering the code will be the same for multiple images on a page, so you can just copy/paste the code.

An alternative way, is just copy the previous link and replace a. The P number b. the page number - this in some ways is a lot simpler to do.
