Using the Fix bunching template

The easiest method works with both images and infoboxes. It leaves formatting virtually untouched except for unbunching the problematic edit links. Use the {{Fix bunching}} template as in the following code:

{{Fix bunching|beg}}

{{ 1st infobox, image, table, etc. }}

{{Fix bunching|mid}}

{{ 2nd infobox, image, table, etc. }}

  ...continue as needed with {{Fix bunching|mid}} before content:

{{Fix bunching|mid}}

{{ 3rd infobox, image, table, etc. }}

{{Fix bunching|end}}

Note that the resulting column of objects will be as wide as its widest component throughout.

See Example 2 for sample code and its results.

Moving the images around

When the article is long enough, it is possible to spread the images around, instead of having them together. It is also possible to make some of the images float left instead of right. This often is enough to fix the issue, and generally results in a prettier article.

When you have too many images, it might make sense to move some or most of them to a gallery. However, while this avoids the issue, it has issues of its own (for instance, the captions can be small to the point of being unreadable in some cases, and the image size is fixed).
