Template:Person gallery

Purpose

This template dynamically generates a gallery of images and associated details (like organization and position titles) for a specified list of people.

Usage

This template should be added where you need to display a gallery of people with their names, images, and associated professional information. It uses Cargo to fetch data from the Person table in the database.

Syntax

{{Person gallery|names=<comma-separated list of full names>|gallery_mode=<mode>}}

Handling errors

If no images are available for the provided names, the template will display an error message in the gallery area.

Developer notes

The template relies on Module:Person's get_person_gallery function, which queries the Person table (falling back to Person_extra for names not found there) and renders through Module:Gallery's build_gallery. Ensure the Cargo table and fields (Full_name, Image, Organizations, Position_titles) are properly configured and standardized across the wiki. Changes to database schema or Cargo configuration may require updates to the Lua script to maintain functionality.
