== Text instead of images ==

I'd like to be able to use text instead of an image for things like {{para|IMAGE_LEFT}}. See for an example {{tlx|Gaijin tarento}}. Any chance this could be implemented? —[[User:Ms2ger|Ms2ger]] ([[User talk:Ms2ger|talk]]) 16:38, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

:Where using text instead of images would be even more useful would be for the notes and/or taskforces. -- [[User:WOSlinker|WOSlinker]] ([[User talk:WOSlinker|talk]]) 19:08, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

:I agree. If something could be set up to create a small div instead of the image, with the text sized appropriately to fit. ···[[User:Nihonjoe|<font color="green">日本穣</font>]]^{[[Help:Japanese|?]] · <small>[[User talk:Nihonjoe|Talk to Nihonjoe]]}</small> 20:58, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

== Transcluding pages of images ==

I had an idea of transcluding a portal's image of the month directly onto the WikiProject Banner so that when the image changed every month in the portal, it would show this in the banner. However this does not seem possible but i was wondering how to make it possible. The one i was going to try it on was the selected image from [[Portal:London]] to [[Template:WPLondon]]. A copy of the image has been made at [[Portal:London/Showcase picture/pic]]. [[User:Simply south|Simply south]] ([[User talk:Simply south|talk]]) 18:46, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

:I think the only thing you need to do, is create something a variable that when transcluded only includes the file name. Either though making two pages like "Portal:London/Showcase picture/pic2" or modify the code in the current one

<pre>

{{#ifeq:{{1}}|banner|<noinclude>}}[[Image:{{#ifeq:{{1}}|banner|</noinclude>}}HansomCab.jpg{{#ifeq:{{1}}|banner|<noinclude>}}|450px|center]]{{#ifeq:{{1}}|banner|</noinclude>}}

</pre>

:That code worked for me when I tried it, using <nowiki>{{Portal:London/Showcase picture/pic|banner}}</nowiki> in the IMG_LEFT (or what the exact name is) '''[[user:chandler|chan]][[user talk:chandler|dler]] [[Special:Contributions/Chandler|·]]''' 18:57, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

::Yes, Chandler's right. You need a page with just the name of the file. Then you can do [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:WPLondon&diff=278787508&oldid=278727216 this] and it should all work fine. You might want to consider at least semiprotecting the page in question to prevent vandalism. &mdash;&nbsp;Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 19:17, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

::It occurs to me now that you might have meant the main banner image rather than the portal image. In which case, you can just tweak my code! &mdash;&nbsp;Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 19:18, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

:::Yeah, i was meaning replacing the banner image with the portal image, but the other thing that has happened is fair as well. [[User:Simply south|Simply south]] ([[User talk:Simply south|talk]]) 20:45, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
