Summary
Review of what you've learned




Images are usually interspersed individually throughout an article near the relevant text. In some circumstances, however, a gallery of many images together may be appropriate if the collection illustrates aspects of a subject better than individual images can.


To add a new gallery, click the Insert  menu and choose the "⧼visualeditor-mwgalleryinspector-title⧽" option. You can edit existing galleries by clicking that gallery and selecting the gallery icon that appears below it.


The gallery editor is currently a simple box that allows you list images for the gallery using some simple wiki markup.


Each image is listed using its file name and caption in the following format:
File:example.png | caption
You must put each image in the gallery on its own line.


You can edit this list to add, remove or rearrange images and to change their captions.
