TemplateData for Multiple image

This template creates a box with two to ten images arranged vertically or horizontally with captions for the entire box and/or for each images.

Template parameters

ParameterDescriptionTypeStatus

Default
right
Stringoptional
Directiondirection

Default
horizontal
Stringoptional
Widthwidth

width overrides width1, width2, width3, etc. If you want the images to be different sizes, do not provide the width parameter. Integer width in pixels; no 'px' suffix

Stringoptional
Background colorbackground color

defines the background color between the border of the box and the images.

Stringoptional
image1image1

image1 is name of first image. Similarly for image2, etc. File name only; no 'File:' or 'Image:' prefix.

Stringoptional
width1width1

width1 is width of first image. Similarly for width2, etc.

Numberoptional
alt1alt1

alt1 is [[alt text]] of first image (see [[WP:ALT]]). Similarly for alt2, etc.

Stringoptional
caption1caption1

caption1 is caption of first image. Similarly for caption2, etc.

Stringoptional
link1link1

is where the first page links to. Similarly for link2, etc. If not specified, image links to the image description page as usual. If specified to the empty value, the image does not link anywhere; this should be used for purely decorative images as per [[WP:ALT]]. Important: If the image is under a free license like the GFDL or a CC license, you must not use this parameter as the terms of those licenses require the license, or a link to it, to be reproduced with the image. The image must, therefore, link to its image page. Public domain and (theoretically) fair use images are not subject to this restriction.

Horizontal placement

Vertical direction places the images on one column, while horizontal direction places the images on one row:

vertical
horizontal

Matching image heights

This trick is not required if all images have the same aspect ratio, where |width= suffices
  • Decide on a common height for the images, say 100 pixels.
  • Examine the individual image pages to obtain the full resolution. For example:
  • For non-square images, use these figures to construct an expression for the |widthn= parameters, of the form:
    • {{#expr: (dh * ow / oh) round 0}}
  • where
    • dh is the desired height in pixels (100)
    • ow is the original width in pixels (750 or 300)
    • oh is the original height in pixels (536 or 300)
  • For square images, simply set the appropriate |widthn= to be the desired height. If all are square, only |width= needs to be set.
A donkey
A donkey, not square and originally 536 pixels high
A trout
A fish, square and originally 300 pixels high
The two images are both rendered 100 pixels high
{{multiple image
| footer    = The two images are both rendered 100 pixels high
| align     = right

| image1    = Donkey 1 arp 750px.jpg
| width1    = {{#expr: (100 * 750 / 536) round 0}}
| alt1      = A donkey
| caption1  = A donkey, not square and originally 536 pixels high

| image2    = Rainbow_trout.png
| width2    = 100
| alt2      = A trout
| caption2  = A fish, square and originally 300 pixels high
