Template:Trait references

Renders the real-world reference image(s) a single trait depicts as a left-aligned, frameless gallery. Place it in a dedicated == Reference media == section after the body text and before == See also == / == References ==. Keeping it in its own end section (rather than inside the infobox or inline after the lead) stops the reference image from stacking a second picture into the box or displacing the prose, while the now-shorter infobox no longer dangles past a deliberately meagre body.

Each reference is authored as a self-contained group (refN + optional refN_subject / refN_caption) so image and caption can never desync, and so the groups remain machine-addressable for a future trait → reference Cargo mapping with no re-authoring.

Quick start

{{Trait references
| ref1         = Georgia_Guidestones_2005.jpg
| ref1_subject = Georgia Guidestones
| ref1_caption = Georgia Guidestones, c. 2005
}}

Parameters

Parameter	Description
ref1 … ref8	Reference image filename (no File: prefix, no brackets). Up to eight references.
ref1_subject …	Canonical subject the image shows (e.g. Georgia Guidestones). Used as the caption when no explicit caption is given, and is the key a future reference mapping groups on.
ref1_caption …	Display caption for the image. Falls back to refN_subject, then to no caption. May contain a wikilink.
mode	Gallery mode. Defaults to nolines, which keeps single-reference sections left-aligned without thumbnail framing. Use packed only when a page needs a dense row of several references.
widths	Gallery item width in pixels. Defaults to 240.
heights	Gallery item height in pixels. Defaults to 200.

When to use

• Trait articles that depict one or more real-world subjects (a monument, a building, a videogame level, a film still).
• Pair with Template:Tlx: the infobox holds the trait art and data; this template holds the reference image(s).

The infobox references parameter names the subjects in text; this template shows them. The two are complementary.
