Tɛmplet:Stack end
This template can be used to stack images and other floating content such as infobox templates without causing problems with spacing and floating. Enter a string of images/templates as the first parameter to have them stack without generating floating errors or spacing errors. You can stack many objects from the top of a section and not force further subsections to space out.
Usage
[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]At its simplest:
{{stack|<objects>}}
Alternatively, using {{stack begin}} and {{stack end}}:
{{stack begin}}
<objects>
{{stack end}}
The <object> may simply be a string of wikicode for many images/templates.
Optional parameters
[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]{{stack| <object(s)> | float=left or right | clear=true or false | margin=true or false}}
or
{{stack begin | float=left or right | clear=true or false | margin=true or false}}
where
- float= left or right (default is right)
- This option can be used to float the stack to the left or right of the page
- clear= true or false (default is false)
- This option can be used to force the stack to the far left or right (e.g., near an infobox).
- margin= true or false (default is false)
- This option can be used to add a 1em margin to the left (for float right) or right (for float left).
You can also explicitly list multiple arguments:
{{stack| float=left or right | clear=true or false | margin=true or false
|1=<object(s)>
|2=<object(s)>, etc. up to 9 parameters in the current version
}}
- This multiple argument version does include extra vertical whitespace between each (set of)
<object(s)>.

[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]{{Stack}} can also be used to float one or more images across a page.
{{stack|[[File:Simple shapes example.png|80px]]}}
{{stack|[[File:Simple shapes example.png|120px]]}}
It might take some experience to learn how the box area floats, in combination with various images or wikitables on a page. {{Stack}}'s operation is very quick, as it uses an HTML <table> to achieve its effects.
Floating portal boxes
[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]{{Stack}} can be used to float a portal box beside an infobox (or other right-aligned item) when other methods might not work as anticipated.
| Infobox | line 1 line 2 line 3 line 4 line 5 line 6 line 7 line 8 line 9 |
|---|

This is a wikitable serving as a typical left-aligned table. The overlap on left-aligned tables had been a frequent problem when other boxes nearby were set to "float:right". So this is a test of how well a floating portal-box would avoid overlapping onto a left-side table. |

The example here uses {{stack}} to float two portal boxes (Animals, Cats) as follows:
{{stack |{{portal|Animals}}{{portal|Cats}} }}
The two portal-boxes are stacked and floated together by both being listed as {{stack}}'s (first) parameter. Because the infobox and image were also stacked together, {{stack}} moved the two portal-boxes alongside the infobox despite they are being specified after the image.
Normally, a portal-box would be stuck below the Mona Lisa image, causing this entire text section to format further below, and causing a large text-gap of empty whitespace to appear near the infobox. There is no limit to the number of portalboxes (or Commonscat boxes) which can be listed within a {{stack}} call, such as in a stub or an article with many stacked images near the bottom. Using {{stack}} is extremely efficient, due to being a short template which uses builtin tag <table> to float the boxes.
