{{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
best=file3.jpg|bestcap=cap3
| Bad | Better |
|---|---|

Note how focusing on a single panel makes the image "bigger" as a thumbnail. |
- 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=leftto the mix.
