Template:Random slideshow

This template creates a slideshow gallery with a randomised order – i.e. it changes when the page is purged. It is intended for use in portals and will not display in article space.

Usage

As many images and captions as desired may be specified, in the following format: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> </syntaxhighlight> Credits (e.g. "Photograph: Example") may be specified, using the following format <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> </syntaxhighlight>

Parameters

|1=, |3=, |5=, ... Template:Resize

File name. The "File:" prefix is optional.

|2=, |4=, |6=, ... Template:Resize

Caption for the file.

|credit1=, |credit2=, |credit3=, ...

Credits for the file. Optional.

|width=

Maximum width for all images; default is 100% (intended for use inside portal components)

Can be specified as a % (e.g. 75%), or in ems (e.g. 30em), or in px (e.g. 200px)

If a unit is not specified, px is assumed (i.e. 350 is equivalent to 350px)

|random=

Set to no or false to turn off the randomisation.
