Help:Galleries, Slideshows, and Sliders/wikitext

This page describes how to use and customize galleries, slideshows, and sliders using wikitext and the source editor.

See also Help:Galleries, Slideshows, and Sliders for the basics. Note that videos are only supported in galleries.

Gallery
A gallery is a collection of thumbnail images or videos appearing as tiles on the page.

Basic example
Here is the basic gallery code:

Example with variations
The following code would produce a more complex gallery, as seen above:

In this example...


 * The "navigation" option specifies whether the gallery serves navigational purposes, which isn't the case here. Some skins like the upcoming FandomMobile experience use the option.
 * The first item is an image only.
 * The second item is an image with a caption.
 * The third item is an image with a caption that includes wikitext
 * The fourth item is an image that is linked to a wiki page, followed by a caption.

Example with variables
If you wish to use variables in place of images, you'll need to switch to a slightly different form of the gallery tag, such as shown below (with three image variables and some settings defined):

Slideshow
A slideshow is an image module that displays one image at a time, and automatically rotates through the included images. Videos are ignored if placed in a slideshow.

Basic example
Here is the basic slideshow code:

Example with variations
The following code would produce a more complex slideshow:

In this example...


 * The first item is an image only.
 * The second item is an image with a caption.
 * The third item is an image with a caption that includes wikitext
 * The fourth item is an image that is linked to a wiki page. It also includes a caption, as well as a description of the link.

Slider
A slider is an image module that spans the full width of the page and automatically scrolls through up to four images. Videos are ignored if placed in a slider.

Tip: For best results, use images that are exactly 670 x 360px.

Basic example
Here is the basic slider code:

Example with variations
The following code would produce a more complex slider:

In this example...


 * The first item is an image only.
 * The second item is an image with a title.
 * The third item is an image with a title and a subtitle.
 * The fourth item is an image that is linked to a wiki page. It also includes a title and a subtitle.

Advanced slider with variables
If you wish to use variables in place of images, you'll need to switch to a slightly different form of the gallery tag, such as shown below (with three image variables and some settings defined):

Wikitext and options
The following reference tables address the customization options for each of these three image modules in the Oasis layout.

For the FandomDesktop layout, users should go on preparation guide and check the status of each option before using them on their wiki. Most of what is mentioned below is no longer supported in the new theme.

The list on the preparation guide is almost complete, but still non exhaustive. One of the restricitons not mentioned there is linking to anchors in the  parameter. The 'link' option itself can be used to link to articles, but linking to a specific section is not possible because the anchor value is ignored.
