Documentation icon Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

The Template:Fake image shows a box which looks like an empty image containing the strike-through name, as parameter {{{1}}}, of an image file (which formerly existed or might exist later). The box can show a caption, as parameter {{{2}}}, under the empty image. The top and inner margins each default to 8px (similar to actual images), but can be reset by style=xxxx.
Parameters:

  • style=margin: 1px 2px 3px 4px - set margins for top/right/bottom/left.
  • align=left - or align=center (default: align=right)

Note that for the "style" parameter, there are no quotation marks around the style settings (omit all quotation marks), even though in CSS style sheets, the quotation marks would need to be used.

The format of parameters is:

{{fake image
 | image name.ext
 | caption
 | width = 122px
 | align = left / center / right
}}

Only the image name is required. This template is useful for delinking images in archives used on commons (where a placeholder is useful).

Examples

The following are examples of usage:

Next Movie poster.jpg
Image of movie poster (to be released)
{{fake image
 | Next Movie poster.jpg
 | Image of movie poster (to be released)
 | width = 190px
 | align = right
}}
