Template:Infobox/MultiPic

is a template that combines other templates into one that can be used within infoboxes and other pages in a nice format without breaking other templates.

Format
Please note that array supports a particular format and the template will break if this format is not adhered.

Passing Images
In general, the list of files to be arrayed through the template should be delimited with comma's. For example:

Gallery
If you want a slideshow gallery output from the template, make sure that  is passed. For example: Note the use of semi-colons within the passed list of files: these allow the specification of a "small description" that will appear below that image when it is displayed on the slideshow.

This will produce the following output:

Tabber
In some rare use cases, you might want to produce tabulated output in the form of clickable tabs. To do so, simply ensure that  is passed. For example: Note that semi-colons are used again when passing the list of files. However, the difference between tabber output and slideshow output is that the length of the "description" is shorter. This is because tabber will line break if too many tabs are generated or if a tabber's "text" is too long. Therefore, courtesy indicates that the length of a tabber title is kept short to maximise the amount of tabbed images.

This will produce the following output:

Slider
Very rarely, you might want to produce slider based output. This is similar to slideshows, but has a hard-capped limit of four images. Due to the different output expected in sliders, its use should be minimised due to code complexity. To produce slider output, ensure that  is passed. For example: Note that there are multiple semi-colons used in the output of a single image. This is because a slider expects a link and associated link text.

The link is generated by specific logic: if there are four slices and the last slice is a specific page title to the link, it will use that slice: otherwise, it will automatically use the contents of the second slice (eg "Shinra Kusakabe"). Therefore, the four value (after the description) is optional and does not need to be specified.

The associated link text is generated by the third slice (eg "Description 1").

Due to the slider imposed limitations, this invocation will automatically stop working if you attempt to pass more than four images. Instead of displaying a template, a notice will be displayed instead.

This will produce the following output:

Single Image
The template has a fallback in those instances where only one image has been passed. Instead of making use of clunky formats that is likely to create strange output, this meta-template will automatically fall back on normal file transclusion formatting. No type needs to be specified, though it is recommended to specify a type, even if it is not used. For example: Note that there are no semi-colons, but a tilde instead. The tilde allows the specification of the image size: if this is not specified, then the template falls back to the default size specified in this meta-template.

Text Only
This is a test-based output and generally won't be used on articles, but is provided if you need to see the output in pure format. But if you want to simply output the text you've passed to the template (through the first parameter), simply ensure that  is specified.
