			'''We receive around 20 spam account requests a day, so most requests are rejected.''' Yours will be approved if you do two simple things:

			* Give your '''real name''', and use an '''email address that matches it'''. Requests where the name and email clearly go together are approved; ones where they don't are treated as spam.
			* In the '''"Why would you like an account?"''' box below, write '''one line''' saying why – for example, a subject you'd like to write about.

			Genuine requests that do both of these are approved quickly.

Before/after slider help + demo

New page

The '''before/after slider''' lets a reader drag between a historic photograph and a modern re-shot of the same view. It is a natural companion to the Rephoto alignment workflow: Rephoto lines the new photo up to the old one, then both are uploaded here and shown together with a draggable slider.

== Live example ==
{{Before after
| before = Beforeafter-demo-then.png
| after = Beforeafter-demo-now.png
| caption = Placeholder demo – drag the handle to wipe between "then" and "now". These are stand-in images until real photos are added.
}}

== How to use it ==
Upload both photographs (ideally a Rephoto-aligned pair – the same size and crop), then add:

<pre>
{{Before after
| before = Historic_photo.jpg
| after = Modern_photo.jpg
| caption = Royal Vauxhall Tavern, then and now
| beforelabel = 1985
| afterlabel = 2026
}}
</pre>

; before / after
: The two image filenames (required).
; caption
: Optional text shown beneath the slider.
; beforelabel / afterlabel
: The small corner tags (default "Then" / "Now").
; width
: Maximum display width in pixels (default 640).

The two images must be the same dimensions for the wipe to line up – which is exactly what Rephoto produces.
