help:artist commentary (locked)

The artist commentary fields are used to capture any additional information the artist has provided, namely the title and caption of the work. Commentaries should always be added to posts when they are available.

Adding the artist’s commentary

You can add or edit information in these fields by viewing a post and then clicking the Add artist commentary link in the sidebar. A dialog with four fields will appear. Original title and Original description should have the artist’s original commentary, regardless of the language it’s in. Commentary can automatically be fetched from the source link or another external link, or copied from another post altogether.

If an artist’s commentary is not in English, and you don’t have the means to translate it, add the commentary translation request tag. If you can translate it, see below.

Translating the artist's commentary

Translations of the commentary can be placed in the Translated title and Translated description fields in the Add artist commentary dialog. Once all relevant parts of the commentary are translated into English, the commentary translation request tag should be removed. If you are unsure of the translation, add the commentary translation check tag.

Formatting

See help:dtext for help with formatting commentary. Note that DText does not work in commentary titles, but only the description.
