Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template uses Lua:

Module:Random slideshow

This template transcludes images from specified pages, and 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 does not show anything in article space.

Usage[edit]

Though there is no fixed limit to the number of pages that can be specified, or images per page, be aware that technical limitations may be encountered for very large numbers of pages or images.

Specify pages displaying images:

{{Transclude files as random slideshow
| First page
| second page
| third page
}}

If images should only be retrieved from a certain section of each page:

{{Transclude files as random slideshow
| First page  | section1= section name
| second page | section2= section name
| third page  | section3= section name
}}

To also include some specific files:

{{Transclude files as random slideshow
| File:SpecificFileOne.jpg | caption1= Caption for first file
| File:SpecificFileTwo.png | caption2= Caption for second file | credit2= Credits for second file (optional)
| First page
| Second page
| Third page
}}

Alternate syntax for specific files' captions and credits:

{{Transclude files as random slideshow
| File:SpecificFileOne.jpg ## Caption for first file
| File:SpecificFileTwo.png ## Caption for second file ## Credits for second file (optional)
| First page
| Second page
| Third page
}}

Parameters[edit]

|1=, |2=, |3=, ... (or equivalent positional parameters): Full page name – including namespace – of the page containing images, or of a specific image.
|section1=, |section2=, |section3=, ...: Limit to files in these section of the corresponding page. Optional.
|caption1=, |caption2=, |caption3=, ...: Caption for the corresponding file (or omit these parameters and use the alternate syntax shown above)
|credit1=, |credit2=, |credit3=, ...: Optional: Credits for the file (or omit these parameters and use the alternate syntax shown above)
|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)
