Template:Gallery

Syntax

The basic syntax is:

<gallery>
File:wiki.png
File:wiki.png|Captioned
File:wiki.png|Captioned with alt text|alt=The Wikipedia logo
File:wiki.png|[[Help:Contents/Links|Links]] can be put in captions.
File:wiki.png|Full MediaWiki<br />syntax may now be used…
</gallery>

Which produces:

• 
• 

  Captioned

• 

  Captioned with alt text

• 

  Links can be put in captions.

• 

  Full MediaWiki
  syntax may now be used…

The extended syntax is (see Help:Images and other uploaded files#Gallery|gallery tag help and below for full list of parameters):

<gallery caption="Sample gallery" widths="180px" heights="120px" perrow="3">
File:wiki.png
File:wiki.png|Captioned
File:wiki.png|Captioned with alt text|alt=The Wikipedia logo
File:wiki.png|[[Help:Contents/Links|Links]] can be put in captions.
File:wiki.png|Full MediaWiki<br />syntax may now be used…
</gallery>

Which produces:

• Sample gallery
• 
• 

  Captioned

• 

  Captioned with alt text

• Images are separated by new lines.
• Captions are optional.
• Notice that there are no brackets except for links within captions.
• A common mistake is to forget the closing </gallery> tag.
• The default width and height is 120px.
• If perrow= is omitted, the width is fluid: one row comprises as many images as will fit across the available width. Prior to MediaWiki 1.17, the default was 4.
