Help:Gallery
This help page covers how to create an image gallery.
Gallery basics
Galleries are best used in situations where a lot of pictures need to be displayed. Galleries are like thumbnails boxed together in a table.
By default, galleries have a fluid width. Do not create galleries with a fixed width on any page outside your userspace.
The basic syntax for a gallery is this:
<gallery> Image name.ext|Caption </gallery>
Example
Source code
<gallery> MarioMP8Artwork.png|[[Mario]] Luigi Artwork - Mario Party 7.png|[[Luigi]] NSMBDS Bowser Artwork.png|[[Bowser]] </gallery>
Advanced options
In rare instances, it may be necessary to change the image widths, heights, and even background color in order to display them properly in a gallery.
This can be accomplished using the widths
, heights
, and class
parameters, respectively.
The following background color classes are available: blackbg
, graybg
Example
Source code
<gallery class="blackbg" widths="50" heights="50"> SM64 Asset Sprite CS Mario.png|Mario SM64 Asset Sprite CS Coin.png|Yellow Coin SM64 Asset Sprite CS Power Star.png|Power Star </gallery>
