Usage tips[edit]

Width in Talk headers – When using Graph:PageViews in the header section of an article Talk page, use |width=565 in order to generate a graph element that matches other standard elements often found in talk page headers.

Captions – Some talk pages embed Graph:PageViews within {{Info}} to add a leading caption.

Vertical height – Save vertical space in a Talk page header, with the collapse templates {{cot}}/{{cob}}. Example: this talk page uses standard talk header width, adds a caption, and collapses the graphs.
