This will remove the "zoom" icon on

possibility that that will upset some people since that makes it more
difficult to get to the file page for video files.
Looking at this on a test page (like
http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/0.11186127029575321) it seems
like it takes three clicks to get to the File page. Play the video, open
the menu, click the File link.
Ultimately, a magnify icon should not directing people to a file
description page, it should be magnifying the image. However, taking three
clicks to get to the File page is a bit much. Just thinking out loud, I
wonder if we might reset the alt click behavior to open the file in a new
tab, rather just the expanded video player in a new tab? Bug tickets,
ideas, and patches welcome.
Additionally, the FAQ page doesn't address how the
change affects the
frame option for images. One assumes it will change the styling
similarly. Is that correct?
No, I believe it does nothing to any style that isn't thumb. Frame,
frameless, border, etc. are not impacted.
