Forum:Alternative to wikias gallery function

Does any body have an alternative to wikias std gallery function ? I dont like the shaded box and pacing with the caption sat below. I've created some using a two col table with an image then the caption but thats also wastefull of space & adding a size for every image is tedious. It would be better as two or three column table with the caption below each image, a size parameter for the whole table and the ability to take the std image code as input without having to strip the thumb code and brackets manually for each entry. This could then sit inside collapsible box (have a couple of different templates for that).

I'm looking for something that takes: {{gallery
 * name=
 * noofcol=
 * size=
 * image=[[file:someimage.jpg|thumb|a bit of a caption with a [[link in]] possibly]]
 * image=[[file:somother image.jpg|thumb|another description]]
 * image=[[file:more images.jpg|thumb|this is some example]]


 * }

Here is an couple of examples using a basic table but both versions have problems. I've used that format before but am not 100 % happy with it. The first fills the page but there is too much blank spage round the text, with the secont the text is bigger than the image leaving a gap.

can anybody point me to a wiki with a suitable gallery table template ?

Is it possible to add an input button to tables to add new data rows via an input box ?
