Template:Photo montage
 | Before making a gallery, please read over the image use policy for galleries. Generally, a gallery should not be added so long as there is space for images to be effectively presented adjacent to text. |
 | This template is used on approximately 5,100 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |

Usage
This template is for grouping several images in an infobox, with the possibility of aligning up to 7 rows with up to 7 columns. This template is not intended to be used outside of an infobox or sidebar. For floating image arrays outside of an infobox, please consider using {{multiple image}} with the |perrow= option. For galleries of images, please consider using the gallery tag. If {{multiple image}} will not work for your application, and you need to float the photo montage to the left or right, you can embed it in an {{image frame}} (see the examples below).
