Hello, WeatherWriter. I wanted to ask for you help regarding a recent edit I made to the Wildfires article. I made this edit while I was unaware of SANDWICH. While I have fix the problem by re-adjusting the images, I think there is still a problem there with the images and was wondering if you had any advice. --Super Goku V (talk) 02:36, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I just took a look at the article, and I do not see any WP:MOS-type related issues. I will say the easiest way to fix any SANDWICH-type issues is to actually use the Multiple image template. It shrinks the images and captions a little, and it removed blank space between the images. It is used a lot in infoboxes (examples would be Tornadoes of 2024 or Joplin tornado), but it is also very useful in article mainspace. A big six-day flood event in 2022 had six-days of forecasts, which are all listed together in one multi-image template, shrinking what would be six individual images down to the size of 3-4 images in space. You can see it here: July–August 2022 United States floods#Meteorological synopsis. The key thing is to not have text sandwiched between images or tables, since it can really mess up viewers on mobile devices. If you are worried about it though, you can switch to using that template to cut down on space. Hopefully that helps! The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 03:16, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Gotcha and thank you very much. (To clarify, my edit above made the SANDWICH mistake while trying to adjust the right aligned images and I fixed it before responding here.) --Super Goku V (talk) 03:50, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
