Notes
When embeding the template on a page, please wrap it in the gallery tag as in the example below (the heights attribute can be customized):
{{#tag:gallery|
{{In Memoriam user |user=[[User:User123|User123]] |died=2023-06-01}}
...
|mode=packed-overlay|heights=250px}}
The gallery has to be created using a parser function. The tag syntax will unfortunately not work due to MediaWiki limitations.
