Revision as of 14:52, 22 November 2012

This template makes it easier to add an image to an article, that automatically displays a default image when incorrect.

Parameters

1. The filename of an image from Category:Images or a subcategory (no parameter name but filename is case sensitive, defaults to an empty image)
2. The text to show in the tooltip, when hovering the image (no parameter name but text is case sensitive, defaults to "Image of Articleimage")

• nocat: Whether or not to suppress categorization in case of a nonexisting file (defaults to false, which means auto categorization).

Note: Both filenames of nonexisting files and of files that don't have a description page yet, will result in the default image to be displayed instead.

Syntax

{{articleimage|filename|text}}

Examples

Common use of the articleimage include both the filename and text parameters:

{{articleimage|Twinsen.jpg|This is an image for: {{PAGENAME}}}}

When a nonexisting file is specified, this is what would happen:

{{articleimage|My Article Image.png|This is an image for article: {{PAGENAME}}}}

When no file is specified at all, this is what would happen:

{{articleimage|This is an image for article: {{PAGENAME}}}}

The nocat parameter may be used to suppress automatic categorization like this (any value will do):

{{articleimage|My Article Image.png|This is an image for article: {{PAGENAME}}|nocat=true}}

(this would render the same result as the error example above, but would not categorize under Category:Articles without an image)
