Template:Gallery
Before making a gallery, please read over the image use policy for galleries. Generally, a gallery should not be added so long as there is space for images to be effectively presented adjacent to text. |
This template is used on approximately 6,800 pages, so changes to it will be widely noticed. Please test any changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Please consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |

This template provides advanced gallery building functionality (fine-tuned formatting control). For creating basic galleries, use the Gallery tag.
This template displays a gallery of images in an array, left-to-right in rows. Global parameters |width=
and |height=
control the size of all images in the gallery. The number of images per row is based upon the image width parameters and the width of the screen. The number of images per row can change when the user resizes the window.
For style guidelines about where galleries are appropriate, see Starfleet Logistics:Image use policy § Image galleries.
