| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Gallery. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template shows up to 30 images in an array. The number of images per row is based upon the width specified and the width of the screen, which allows greater flexibility than the <gallery> tag.
For style guidelines about where galleries are appropriate, see WP:IG.
This template is similar to {{Image gallery}}, except it requires a "File:" or "Image:" prefix for image names and an "altN=" prefix for alt text, whereas {{Image gallery}} requires neither prefix. Both templates use {{Gallery/aux}} to format individual images.
Parameters
For each image
Specify a line of the following form for each image.
|Image:Filename|altN=Alt text|Caption
Filenameis the image's file name. It can use aFile:instead of anImage:prefix.Nshould be1for the first image,2for the second image, and so forth.Alt textis the alt text for the image, used by visually impaired and other readers who cannot see the image. See Wikipedia:Alternative text for images. If omitted, the image's alt text is blank.Captionis the caption; see Wikipedia:Captions.
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.
