This template contains coding that is not compatible with mobile versions of Wikipedia causing display and accessibility problems. On mobile devices a standard gallery is displayed instead of the slideshow. If the screen width is less than 720px, only the first four images after randomisation are visible (example screenshot). For mobile devices with larger resolutions, all images are displayed (example screenshot). For some tables it displays all images stacked (example screenshot) |
