== #Short, wide images ==

The text here didn't make a whole lot of sense. I've done my best to find a point in it. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Adam Cuerden|Adam Cuerden]] ([[User talk:Adam Cuerden#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Adam Cuerden|contribs]]) 20:51, 2018 December 7 (UTC)</small>

== Background color ==

How do we add a background color? E.g. for 
:<nowiki>[[file:1-Unaone.svg|frameless]]</nowiki>
we get 
:[[file:1-Unaone.svg|frameless]]
Adding a border doesn't help, because the flag is not rectangular (unlike the Japanese flag illustrated on this help page). Can we add a colored background to make the flag visible? [[User:Kwamikagami|— kwami]] ([[User talk:Kwamikagami|talk]]) 05:06, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

:[[file:1-Unaone.svg|thumb]]
:Is there a reason not to use <code>thumb</code>? The default grey background isn’t much better, but at least it’s something. <span style="font-family:Avenir, sans-serif">—&nbsp;<span style="border-radius:5px;padding:.1em .4em;background:#faeded">[[User:HTGS|HTGS]]</span>&nbsp;([[User talk:HTGS|talk]])</span> 23:58, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

== Help Needed ==

Hi! I need help for the id. I am trying to make a userbox and I need the id for the image. So how to see the id in the image page in Wikimedia commons? Also what id I am searching for is [[c:File:Commons-logo.svg|this]] [[User:Nedia020415|NeD1a      &#91;&#91;User:Nedia020415&#124;Nedia020415&#93;&#93;]] ([[User talk:Nedia020415|talk]]) 00:39, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
{{Userbox
| id   = [[File:Commons-logo.svg|42x42px]]
| info = Sample userbox with the commons logo
}}
{{clear}}
:{{Re|Nedia020415}} To refer to an image in the "id" parameter of the {{tl|Userbox}} template, use something like <code><nowiki>id = [[File:Commons-logo.svg|42x42px]]</nowiki></code>, asking the userbox code to display the image. It's perhaps a misleading parameter name, as it doesn't refer to any kind of internal or system "id". -- [[User:John of Reading|John of Reading]] ([[User talk:John of Reading|talk]]) 06:44, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

== Suppressing Annotations ==

== Examples in Dark Mode ==

Tip: The examples with the Egyptian Amun works better in dark mode without the < blockquote >
