 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Terminate sentence It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template uses TemplateStyles: |
Since MediaWiki does not provide a way to add visible captions to images integrated seamlessly in a page (i.e., without borders), this template aims to provide that functionality.
Usage
This template can be either with named parameters, as in
- {{Plain image with caption|image=Example.svg|caption=Example text|upright=1|align=right|caption position=bottom}}
...or in its shorthand form:
- {{Plain image with caption|Example.svg|Example text|upright|right|bottom}}
- The only compulsory parameters are image and caption.
- When using the shorthand version, keep in mind that the order of parameters is important.
| Parameter | Default | Acceptable values |
|---|---|---|
| image | mandatory | any image filename ("File:" or "Image:" is optional) |
| caption | mandatory | any valid wiki markup |
| upright | 1 | any decimal number (decimal point is optional) |
| width | none | any pixel width ("px" suffix optional) |
| height | none | any pixel height ("px" suffix optional) |
| align | right | left, center, right, none |

| image override | Anything (lets you replace the image block with anything—useful for stacking image overlays) | |
