Notes

Notes are boxes on a post’s image with text in them, usually translations of what’s written in the picture. A post with notes shows them as boxes over the image; point at a box, tap it or tab to it to read its note. Hide notes under the image (or the n key) hides them, and your browser remembers that. Every note is also listed below the image under Notes, which is what screen readers read.

Notes are drawn on the original image, so they stay in place at any size the image is shown. Videos don’t have notes.

Adding and changing notes

Anyone with Edit notes (members, by default) gets Edit notes under the image. While it’s on:

• drag across the image to draw a new note, then type its text and Save;
• drag a note to move it, or drag its bottom-right corner to resize it;
• click a note to change its text, or Delete it.

Each change is saved as you make it. If someone else changed the same note since you loaded the page, yours is refused rather than overwriting theirs; reload to see their change. Notes use the same formatting as the wiki. Drawing notes needs scripts; without them you can still read notes and revert them.

Embedded notes

Translations of speech bubbles and signs read best in place. Draw the notes’ text on the picture, under the list of notes, shows each note’s text inside its box all the time, rather than when pointed at (Danbooru’s embedded notes); the same button switches back. It’s for the whole post, needs Edit notes, and embedded:true finds such posts.

History

Note history (beside the post’s history) lists every version of every note on the post: its box, its text, who changed it and when. Revert a note to an earlier version to undo a change, or to bring back a deleted note. All note changes (/note_versions) lists the note changes on every post you can see, newest first, and can be filtered by user.
