Template:Article for improvement banner/Picture box/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Article for improvement banner/Picture box.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used on approximately 4,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Due to a server limit of 500 "expensive parser function" calls (e.g. #ifexist:, PAGESIZE:, and PAGESINCATEGORY:), this template will only work properly if the page using it has not already exceeded the limit. When the limit is exceeded, the page using this template or module is categorised in Category:Pages with too many expensive parser function calls. (further information)

This template formats a selected TAFI picture and caption, as defined in the subpages of Wikipedia:Today's articles for improvement/{{CURRENTYEAR}}/{{CURRENTWEEK}}. It is currently week 20 of 2024 (purge).

This week's picture is defined in Wikipedia:Today's articles for improvement/2024/20/picture, and the associated caption is defined in Wikipedia:Today's articles for improvement/2024/20/picture/caption (add one week for next week's picture and caption). The picture should be specified as File:somepicture.jpg and the caption should be ordinary text, with a wikilink to the relevant TAFI article.

To specify a particular past or future week (if it exists), use the parameter |week=YYYY/W, where YYYY is the year, and W is the week number. To specify the current week, without the template auto-updating next week, use |week={{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}/{{subst:CURRENTWEEK}}

For example: {{TAFI/Picture box|week=2014/7}} produces the template on the right.

The default width is 230px. To use a custom width, create a [[Wikipedia:Today's articles for improvement/YYYY/W/picture/size]] subpage for the relevant week, specify a number (just a number, no "px"), and save the page.

If the page specifying the picture for the week does not exist, nothing will be displayed – except for Wikipedia:Today's articles for improvement/Schedule and Wikipedia:Today's articles for improvement/Schedule/real only, where a box with redlinks to the picture and caption locations will be displayed instead.

Parameters edit

All optional.

picsize: Use to set a size for the picture that differs from the standards mentioned above (the default 230px or as given by [[Wikipedia:Today's articles for improvement/ ... /picture/size]]) when the template is used e.g. within a {{Sidebar}}. The "px" suffix is required (e.g. "228px").
noborder: Set positively to remove the box's border and shadowing.
nofloat: Set positively to prevent the box floating on the right (e.g. within a Sidebar). The border and shadowing is also omitted (i.e. nofloat entails noborder).
line-height: Use to set the caption's line-height.
