"Packed" gallery?

Hello Mr.choppers, wondering why "packed" mode for photos in gallery isn't preferable? Is there a technical standard to which I should adhere, or is this a matter of taste? On my screen, in packed mode, the images display with no empty grey border (and thus are slightly larger), as well as in a more symmetrical manner (e.g., there are no "dangling" lone photos, so the layout looks "better", which is obviously a subjective matter — de gustibus non disputandum est, after all). Fine either way, but as I have added packed mode to a number of other articles that I've worked on, I want to make sure I'm not getting something wrong. What am I missing?

@Cl3phact0: Like you say, de gustibus &c. To me "packed" looks messy and irregular because of the tiny spaces between the pictures, and because it draws too much attention to how different the picture proportion are. I dislike having them centered and I dislike having the captions centered (that could presumably be changed, but that would require more code). FWIW, when I first added a gallery here I did not use the packed mode.

There is no policy that I know about (probably because I haven't looked), but to me it seems best practice to use standard layouts unless there is a particular reason not to.  Mr.choppers | ✎  13:51, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

@Mr.choppers: noted & thanks. I'll obviously respect your preference here. Also probably obvious: I (mostly) like the "packed" look (eye of the beholder and all that) and may tend to use it in articles that are closer to the bleeding heart of my monomanias — unless, of course, there is a proscription against. (I'll look to see if I can find any concrete guidance and let you know if I locate anything.) Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 20:15, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Pretty sure you're good to go!  Mr.choppers | ✎  21:07, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Another possibility might be to use the {{multiple image}} format to better control how photos and captions are displayed (see example here for ref). Thoughts? Cl3phact0 (talk) 11:09, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

Bare URL tag?

Can we get rid of the bare url tag? Seems like they have all been fixed. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 17:38, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
