- ^ The second unnamed parameter will work with both upright (eg.
0.8) and pixel (eg.200px) values, Include only the value not a parameter label such as|upright=or|imagesize=. Please use only an upright scaling factor, not pixels, wherever possible, per MOS:UPRIGHT. - ^ Note, per the documentation for {{clist}}, any text in
|expand=will result in the default behaviour, namely expanding to display the legand. To override, use an emtpy|expand=parameter; that is, including|expand=with no text. It may help to include an invisible comment in the source code to show that the parameter is intentionally empty; such a comment will not be interpreted by the template as text.
