Template:Gallery/doc
![]() |
This is a documentation subpage for Template:Gallery (see that page for the template itself). It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template shows up to 100 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.
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[edit source]
For each image[edit source]
Specify a line of the following form for each image.
|File:Filename|altN=Alt text|Caption
Filename
is the image's file name. It can use aFile:
instead of anImage:
prefix.N
should be1
for the first image,2
for the second image, and so forth.Alt text
is the alt text for the image, used by visually impaired and other readers who cannot see the image. See Help:Images. If omitted, the image's alt text is blank.Caption
is the caption; see Help:Images.
If no such lines are present, a gallery with a single question-mark image is produced. There is currently a limit of 100 such lines.
