Template:Commons templates location

If using a large, graphical template produces odd layout problems, like the excessive white space shown on the right of this screenshot, then switch to a different sister template.

Generally:

☒N Do not place this template or any box-type template in a section all by itself.
☒N Do not place this template in a section containing columns without floating left.
☒N Do not indent this template with colon (:) or a bullet (*) markup.

Specifically:

  • In articles, this template should be placed at the top of the last section on the page so that it floats to the right of that section.
  • In disambiguation pages, this template is usually placed at the top of the page.
  • In categories, this template should be grouped with other templates at the beginning of the category introduction. This avoids unnecessary white space as any text is floated around the template boxes.
