This template is used to create a switchable image with caption, for use in infoboxes. Note that this template does not work in the editing preview.

Switcher uses MediaWiki:Gadget-switcher.js which is documented at User:Jackmcbarn/switcher. Apart from {{Switcher}}, the only current use of the gadget may be Template:Location map#User selection of multiple maps.

Odd numbered parameters provide the image in wikitext; even numbered parameters provide the captions. Up to 20 images are supported.

{{Switcher
