Portal:English football/Selected picture

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
Football 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
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:English football/Selected picture/Layout.

To add a new article

 * 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 free image and caption.
 * 4) Add the credit line for the author with a wikilink or external link to their profile if possible.
 * 5) Write two or three sentences in the text field using information about the picture and its subject; you may find it useful to examine the existing entries for an idea of the length required.
 * 6) Ensure the main subject of the image is in bold and add this same article to the link field.
 * 7) Preview the page.
 * 8) Save the page.
 * 9) Go to the main Portal:English football page.
 * 10) Click on edit page.
 * 11) Update "max=" to its new total for the Random portal component on the main page. The line which is edited is this one: 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)
