Queries
Hi, I have some queries:

1. Is Module:Gallery all your own work? If it is imported from elsewhere it should have attribution to source, or ideally imported via the process at Help:Importing.

2. According to the   parameter was removed. Is this intentional? It seems that transclusions call this parameter.

 * It looks as if Module:Gallery is a slight modification of Wikipedia's w:Module:Gallery. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 18:01, 5 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Yes, this module is based on source codes from Wikipedia with some small improves I made in Wikimedia Commons, the new source codes has good flexibility among desktop and mobile views (i.e. responsive web design). Currently this module used &lt;gallery&gt; tag as backend, which doesn't has similar parameter, so the new source code no longer support  parameter, but provides   parameter, which can be used to specify number of gallery boxes per line. -- Great Brightstar (discuss • contribs) 15:49, 8 September 2020 (UTC)


 * If you still want  parameter, there are some technical challenges to resolve in the module, however I'm out of idea: 1. Count number of images inserted in the template gallery; 2. Generate appropriate break point into proper position.

 * OK thanks for your explanation. I suppose the change shouldn't cause too many problems. I have updated Module:Gallery with a null edit to provide attribution. -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 16:40, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry I made a mistake while I replied you last time. I was misunderstood the use of  parameter, maybe I have never noticed that when I edit articles with this template. If you still want that you need to write an algorithm for gallery text areas into module page. --Great Brightstar (discuss • contribs) 12:10, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Well it doesn't seem like a hugely important parameter. I think the idea was to provide consistent spacing between rows of images. We can see how it goes I suppose. Jules  (Mrjulesd) 12:56, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
