Template:Hover gif

{{Hover gif}} provides a way for gifs to be displayed but not playing until the user hovers over the image. It uses code from Mediawiki:Common.js and styles from Mediawiki:Common.css. In mobile view, the hover functionality is ignored and gifs play as normal.

Parameters

There are several unnamed parameters:

1. File name (no extension)
2. Size (defaults to 300x300px, and specifying a size larger than the actual image will not enlarge it)
3. Float; can be left, right, center, or inline. inline aligns left rather than fully floating and allows for multiple hover gifs to go on the same line in a gallery. (defaults to inline)
4. Description

Known issue

Sometimes the static thumbnail fails to load, resulting in a blank space with the gif icon overlaid on it. The template otherwise works as normal, and a simple page refresh can fix the issue.

Example

{{Hover gif|Giant Firebolt(demo)|600px|left|An example description}}

An example description

When it's left-floating, text placed below the gif will be to the right of it
