::As for the errors appearing on some of the other portal pages, like [[Portal:Pennsylvania]] (the issue lies in <code>File:Pennsylvania Counties by race (2020 census).svg</code> from [[Pennsylvania]]) is because of the fact that the description includes tables and templates, which, due to one reason or another (potentially due to the more limited form of gallery compared to files, but im not sure), isn't going to work or display nicely in the slideshow. In terms of fixing that, I'm not exactly sure what to recommend, as what the issue is ''specifically'' is hard to pin down. Any ideas?

:::As I suggested in the other discussion, maybe one solution is to render the file on its own, then insert a line break and then render the caption without any processing, outside of the File: invocation. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 20:25, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
::::I have created [[Template:Transclude files as random slideshow/testcases2]] to demonstrate two of these errors. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 14:01, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
:::::Came across this issue again while investigating something else, so I decided to take a look. The primary issue lies in how galleries work, and how they don't respect tables that well, and unfortunately I'm not sure if this has a simple solution. I've left my findings on what I've noticed on [[Special:Permalink/1116592103|this page]] with examples, which should explain it well. As for solutions, the only idea I have is preventing the expansion of templates, but I have yet to test this, and I'm not sure if the expansion is currently intentional for a different reason.

::::::{{ping|Jonesey95}} Good news - after quite a touch up today with how the module works and some more light work yesterday, I've mostly fixed the 2 main causes of the bogus file option linter errors, bringing down the total number of errors from what I think was ~140 to ''10'' (and a few are human errors, not the module). I'm going to do a minor look into weird upright inclusion behaviour after this post, but as far as I can see the new version is working fine, though if you notice any issues or have suggestions, do tell me. Hope this helps. [[User:Aidan9382|Aidan9382]] <sub>([[User talk:Aidan9382|talk]])</sub> 12:16, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
::::::...iiiiif I didn't run into issues, which apparently seems to be impossible with me :). Turns out [[Module:Excerpt slideshow]] was quite unhappy with what I tried and blew up on the spot, so I also now have to go fix that. If the linter errors are back to below 15, I've found a fix before you've seen this. If not, hopefully I will soon after.
