Module:InfoboxImage/doc
This is the documentation page for Module:InfoboxImage
This Lua module is used {{#if:|{{{1}}}|in system messages}}, and on approximately 4,560,000 pages, or roughly 870229% of all pages. Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Wikipedia user interface. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Please discuss changes on the talk page before implementing them. |

Overview[edit]
This module is used within infoboxes to process the image parameters and tidy up the formatting of the result.
Parameters[edit]
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
image | Required. The main parameter that should be passed over which contains the image info. |
size | Size to display image, in pixels. Use is discouraged per WP:THUMBSIZE; see |{{SAFESUBST:#if:upright|upright=}} below instead.
|
maxsize | Maximum size to display image. Note: If no size or sizedefault params specified then image will be shown at maxsize. |
sizedefault | The size to use for the image if no size param is specified. Defaults to frameless. |
alt | Alt text for the image. |
title | Title text for image (mouseover text). |
border | If yes, then a border is added. |
page | The page number to be displayed when using a multi-page image. |
upright | If upright=yes, adds "upright" which displays image at 75% of default image size (which is 220px if not changed at Special:Preferences). If a value, adds "upright=value" to image, where values less than 1 scale the image down (0.9 = 90%) and values greater than 1 scale the image up (1.15 = 115%). |
center | If yes, then the image is centered. |
thumbtime | thumbtime param, used for video clips. |
suppressplaceholder | If no, then will not suppress certain placeholder images. See § Placeholder images which can be suppressed. |
link | Page to go to when clicking on the image. |
class | HTML classes to add to the image. |
Note: If you specify the maxsize or sizedefault params, then you should include the px after the number.
Parameters displayed in image syntax[edit]
All parameters:
- <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow:auto;">[[File:{{{image}}}|page={{{page}}}|{{{size}}}|center|alt={{{alt}}}|link={{{link}}}|border|upright={{{upright}}}|thumbtime={{{thumbtime}}}|class={{{class}}}|{{{title}}}]]</syntaxhighlight>
[[File:{{{image}}}|page={{{page}}}|{{{size}}}|center|alt={{{alt}}}|link={{{link}}}|border|upright={{{upright}}}|thumbtime={{{thumbtime}}}|class={{{class}}}|{{{title}}}]]
When "size" and "maxsize" are defined, the smaller of the two is used (if "px" is omitted it will be added by the module):
- <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow:auto;">[[File:{{{image}}}|250px]]</syntaxhighlight>
[[File:{{{image}}}|250px]]
When "size" is not defined, "sizedefault" is used, even if larger than "maxsize" (in actual use "px" is required after the number; omitted here to show it is not added by the module):
- <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow:auto;">[[File:{{{image}}}|250px]]</syntaxhighlight>
[[File:{{{image}}}|250px]]
When "size" and "sizedefault" are not defined, "maxsize" is used (in actual use "px" is required after the number; omitted here to show it is not added by the module):
- <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow:auto;">[[File:{{{image}}}|250px]]</syntaxhighlight>
[[File:{{{image}}}|250px]]
When "size", "sizedefault", and "maxsize" are not defined, "frameless" is added, which displays the image at the default thumbnail size (220px, but logged in users can change this at Special:Preferences) and is required if using "upright" to scale the default size:
- <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow:auto;">[[File:{{{image}}}|frameless]]</syntaxhighlight>
[[File:{{{image}}}|frameless]]
Use of "upright" without a number value, which displays the image at approximately 75% of the user's default size (multiplied by 0.75 then rounded to nearest 10):
- <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow:auto;">[[File:{{{image}}}|frameless|upright]]</syntaxhighlight>
[[File:{{{image}}}|frameless|upright]]
When "alt" is used without "title", the alt text is also used as the title:
- <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow:auto;">[[File:{{{image}}}|frameless|alt=Alt text]]</syntaxhighlight>
[[File:{{{image}}}|frameless|alt=Alt text]]
For more information, see Wikipedia:Extended image syntax.
Sample usage[edit]
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow:auto;"> |image = </syntaxhighlight>
