{{compare}} is a "quick 'n' dirty" template for comparing multiple images. It's mainly intended for admin use in order to offer a side-by-side comparison of up to three images at 130px, so that the user can see the difference between pictures at typical thumbnail width.

Usage

This template displays differently depending on the parameters you choose.

Bad Better
File:File.jpg File:File2.jpg
cap cap2


Bad Better Best
File:File.jpg File:File2.jpg File:File3.jpg
cap cap2 cap3

Type

{{compare|file.jpg|file2.jpg|cap|cap2}}

to produce the top right image. Alternately, if you have three images you'd like to compare, you can type

Bad Better
Old Jamie.jpg Jamie and the Doctor.jpg
Lots of problems here: Biggest thing is that the image is in colour and the comic was originally monochromatic. But also, the double frames makes this about a 16:4 aspect ratio, which in turn produces a tiny thumbnail. Better, because the comic was originally monochromatic, and T:ICC requires the use of the original printing. Note how focusing on a single panel makes the image "bigger" as a thumbnail.
best=file3.jpg|bestcap=cap3

which will give you the second image. If, however, you want to make the comparison appear on the left side of the page, like our third example, you just need to add float=left to the mix.
