Template:Image gallery/doc
From Lower Ground
Jump to navigationJump to search
| File:Edit-copy green.svg | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Image gallery (see that page for the template itself). It contains usage information, categories, interlanguage links and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
For the cleanup tag, see Template:Cleanup-gallery.
This template shows up to 30 images in an array. The number of images per row is based upon the size specified and the width of the screen, which allows greater flexibility than the <gallery> tag.
For policy about where galleries are appropriate, see WP:IG.
This template is similar to {{Gallery}}, except it does not require a "File:" or "Image:" prefix for image names, and alt text is passed in the second unnamed parameter instead of in a named "altN=" parameter, whereas {{Gallery}} requires both to be prefixed. Both templates use {{Gallery/aux}} to format individual images.
Parameters
Required
- |Image|Alt text|Caption
- Specify one of these lines for each image. Image is the image name (without any
File:orImage:prefix). Alt is the alt text, used by visually impaired readers; it typically has little in common with the caption (see WP:ALT). Caption is the caption; see WP:CAPTION. If no such lines are present, a gallery with a single question-mark image is produced. There is currently a limit of 30 such lines.
Optional
- title
- The gallery's title.
- width
- (default 180) Maximum width of each image.
- height
- (default 180) Maximum height of each image.
- lines
- (default 2) The number of text lines needed for the largest caption. Blank lines are appended to smaller captions. A caption that does not fit is cut off.
