Template:Main page image/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Main page image.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template can only be edited by administrators because it is transcluded onto one or more cascade-protected pages.

This template is used on the Main Page to show an image or media file with a caption underneath.

Usage

Note: Prefer images in landscape orientation. If you must use one in portrait orientation, avoid very skinny ones. If you must choose a skinny image, then please specify the height as well (e.g., 120x120), but note that if you do so, there will be a gap between left or right edge of the image (depending on the what side of the container the template appears) and the edge of the section.
