I made most of the Picture pages in the last year. I don't mind that Gaia started this one. Let me tell you the basic steps. By the way, I did use only one image for Fabulous Scenery. I had been spending a lot of time gathering and organizing two sets of images for all of the pages since they changed things with the re-do of Venice and Buddha's Square. I have not felt like the extra images have been appreciated, so I went back to one for Fabulous Scenery. If there is a demand for the two Galleries, I can add them because I did grab screenshots of several modes at each level. I will do the same for Paradise Beach; I'm still at Novice level.

I use a free program called Notepad++ to do most of my new page content creation off-wiki. It is perfect for the picture pages. I can do a picture page from scratch in about an hour. (Not counting prep work which is making screenshots, properly naming the images, and playing enough to get the names of the 25 hidden objects.)   If you don't use Notepad++, you can copy all of the source code from another page to a new page. Fabulous Scenery would be good, because as I said, it only has the one image of the picture. (Look at any picture page from earlier this year to see the two galleries). Paste the source code into a new page. Replace every mention of Fabulous Scenery with Paradise Beach. Replace every mention of Festival of Balloons with Magical Summer, etc. Replace the diary paragraph and title. Replace the list of hidden objects with the correct items for the new picture. This means you need to have a lot of screenshots on your computer, or take good notes as you play.

For the table, the values in the first few columns never change. Do what you can with the rewards columns. HI Podaci,

I had no idea you were doing the all picture pages. Hope you didn't mind I started this one. I did copy and paste via source (and some in visual to make sure it had the same format, but overall it was just replacing name X with name  Y  as you suggested).

I have played the new room enough to get the name of the items, it didn't occur to me to jot them down, later tonight I will grab those items unless someone else has them and wanted to add them. I think one photo is fine (just my opinion) but I will see if I can also copy the diary. My computer gets testy when I go between the game and wiki so I'll see what I can do. =)

I can try the table, but I have a feeling someone with more knowledge will have to adjust that. Since you have a system I don't want to make more work to look over my shoulder, but if you need some screen shots, let me know and I can send them over if that helps. I'll be watching baseball tonight so I'll have time to work on the page this evening. =)
