Wikipedia:Gallery tag

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shortcut:
WP:GALLERY

As of version 1.4, MediaWiki supports making image galleries. This is an easy way of displaying a large number of images.

[edit] Syntax

The extended syntax is (see Gallery tag help and below for full list of parameters):

<gallery caption="Sample gallery" widths="180px" heights="120px" perrow="3">
Image:Wiki.png|Caption text.
[...]
</gallery>

The basic syntax is:

<gallery>
Image:Wiki.png
Image:Wiki.png|Captioned
Image:Wiki.png
Image:Wiki.png|[[Help:Contents/Links|Links]] can be put in captions.
Image:Wiki.png
Image:Wiki.png|Full [[MediaWiki]]<br />[[syntax]] may now be used…
</gallery>

Which produces:

Captioned

Links can be put in captions.

Full MediaWiki
syntax may now be used…

Notice that there are no brackets except for links within captions. Captions are optional. Images are separated by new lines.
