Gallery sorting
Images
Filenames
Name main product images to match the bear's page title, with abbreviations or release year if necessary.
- Example: How to Train Your Dragon Toothless (2014)'s main image is titled HowToTrainYourDragonToothless(2014).jpg, but it could also be HTTYDToothless.jpg, Toothless14.jpg, or some other reasonable permutation.
Give additional product images the same name as the main product image, but with either numbers or -alt appended on the end before the extension (jpg, gif, png).
- Example: Brown Cow's main product image is BrownCow.jpg, so its additional image is called BrownCow-Alt.jpg, but could equally be BrownCow2.jpg or BrownCow-2.jpg.
Give bundle images the same name as the main product image, but with -bundle or -bundle and numbers appended on the end before the extension.
- Example: Rainbow Party Bear's main product image is RainbowPartyBear23.jpg, so its bundle images are called RainbowPartyBear23-bundle.jpg and RainbowPartyBear23-bundle2.jpg.
Citations
Ideally, citations in the form of links would be given in our standard referencing format (see below #Citations & references), but simply pasting the link is acceptable in a pinch.
- GOOD: Source: Build A Bear Jumbo Huge 28" Plush w/Tags Buddy Big Bear Cream | #4659217661
- OKAY: Source: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/build-bear-jumbo-huge-28-plush-tags-4659217661
- AVOID: Credit to original owner; Found on Facebook; Pic from Ebay
- Examples of good personal photo citations:
- Photo courtesy of u/bearchivist on Reddit, edits by u/bearchivisthelper on Reddit
- Photo by Sharon Price-John, edited by User:Bearchivist
- Photo source: User:Bearchivist, photo edits: User:Bearchivisthelper and User:Bearchivisthelper2
Citations & references
General
If a piece of information comes from an object you own, whether that's a bear, a birth certificate, a brochure, etc, and you haven't shared a picture of this object anywhere else that can be cited, please upload a relevant photo of that object to the Wiki (using Special:Upload or the red link shortcut) and either cite the image(s) on the bear's page as evidence or include the images in the bear's gallery, which serves the same purpose of evidencing the information.
Link styling
For pages preserved on Wayback Machine, include the year the capture was taken in parentheses after the link (and after the country abbreviation, if present).
- Example: Peanut Butter Brown Cow - Build-A-Bear Workshop Australia (2023)
For product pages where the country name isn't in the page title, include the country abbreviation in parentheses after the link and before the year the capture was taken.
- Example: Ted Lasso Bear Sunglasses Bundle | Shop at Build-A-Bear® (US) (2023)
For citations from sites like the BAB Digital Birth Cert, include the date you accessed the site, in case it updates after you accessed it and the information you retrieved is either lost or altered.
- Example: BABW Digital Birth Cert (Accessed 29 Dec 2023)
For citations from Reddit, the default page title does not always attach the classic "r/" identifier to the subreddit name; The Build-A-Bear Wiki prefers to add the r/ identifier in where absent to improve legibility.
