The Selected picture box on the portal chooses one of the following at random when displaying the page. Follow the instructions below for adding or nominating a new picture to the list.

Usage

Sports related Featured pictures from Wikipedia or Commons can be added directly to this list without nomination. All other images should be nominated first to ensure that we only display our best work on the portal. The procedure for nomination is at the bottom of this page.

Template

{{Portal:Sports/Selected picture/Layout
  |image=
  |size=
  |caption=
  |text=
  |credit=
  |link=
}}

Note that the prefix Image: is not required when using this template, also - the template will auto-wikilink the article entered in the link= field. Further information on this template can be found at Portal:Sports/Selected picture/Layout.

To add a new image

Please keep in mind before you start:

  • The files that are already in this section were selected for diversity of sport (we have a lot of baseball FPs, but don't use all of them) and for shape. Please do not add portrait aligned photos, as it will shift the balance of the portal itself.
  • Please make sure that the image you're going to add is not already used elsewhere in the portal. The Honus Wagner card, for example, is in the Selected Article section already.
  • Featured pictures only
  1. Click on the next successive empty entry or red link from this page.
  2. Paste the above layout template if it isn't already there.
  3. Add a featured image and caption.
  4. Add the credit line for the author with a wikilink or external link to their profile if possible.
  5. Write a sentence describing the sport and the activity. See other entries for length and style references.
  6. Preview the page.
  7. Save the page.
  8. Go to the main Portal:Sports page.
  9. Click on edit page.
  10. Update "max=" to its new total for the {{Random portal component}} on the main page. The line which is edited is this one: {{Random portal component|max=4|header=Selected picture|subpage=Selected picture}} Make sure that "max=" is the same numerical value as the image entry added above (i.e. if you added image 43, then max=43)
