Usage[edit]
You can create a gallery either by querying image pages, or by querying image names which are a property of other pages.
Querying image pages[edit]
To generate a simple gallery of all images whose image pages have been categorized as "Photographs", you could use the following syntax:
{{#ask: [[Category:Photographs]] | format=gallery}}
Simulated result:
If you query a property for the image pages, it'll be used as the caption. The value of the property "Has description", as declared on the image pages, will become the caption in this example:
{{#ask: [[Category:Photographs]] | ?Has description | format=gallery}}
Simulated result:
Caption 1
Caption 2
Caption 3
Caption 4
If you want your gallery to have a caption of its own, use the "intro" parameter:
{{#ask: [[Category:Photographs]] | ?Has description | format=gallery | intro=This is a gallery caption}}
Simulated result:
- This is a gallery caption
Caption 1
Caption 2
Caption 3
Caption 4
Now adjust the widths of the images to 60px:
{{#ask: [[Category:Photographs]] | ?Has description | format=gallery | intro=This is a gallery caption | widths=60px}}
Simulated result:
- This is a gallery caption
Caption 1
Caption 2
Caption 3
Caption 4
Querying image names as properties[edit]
The gallery format can also display images named by properties on your pages. You must add the property to be queried to your pages using the "Has" syntax, including "File:", as shown in this example:
[[Has image::File:Example.jpg]]
Your query must have two parts: a query for the existence of the property, using a "?", and a query for the name of the property, using "imageproperty". You may optionally specify a property containing a caption: "captionproperty".
This example will return a gallery of images named by the "Has image" property, specified on pages in the category "Events":
{{
#ask: [[Category:Events]]
| ?Has image
| format=gallery
| imageproperty=Has image
}}
This example will show images from the current page with their captions:
{{
#ask: [[{{PAGENAME}}]]
| ?Has image
| ?Has caption
| format=gallery
| imageproperty=Has image
| captionproperty=Has caption
}}
