Sorry for cross-posting, but wanted to make sure folks knew that we were
releasing this. This was tested as part of the typography refresh, but we
didn't want to put it out with the initial release because it needed more
testing. Like typography refresh, the design goals here are consistency
across devices and simplifying the reading interface to increase emphasis
on the content.

Subject: [Wikitech-ambassadors] Thumbnail style update
To: Coordination of technology deployments across languages/projects <
wikitech-ambassadors(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Greetings all,
There's an upcoming change to the thumbnail styling in Vector that we'd
appreciate your assistance translating and announcing.
The primary change is to remove the "box" border, which will bring the
clean style that was recently added to <gallery> to all our thumbnails,
plus consistency with our mobile view and the images on most Main Pages.
It will be arriving on non-Wikipedias on August 12, and on Wikipedias on
August 14, so there's additional time to acclimate. The design team will be
available to discuss this, and other updates and ideas, with anyone
interested at Wikimania in 2 weeks.
Please see documentation and details, at

Much thanks,
Quiddity
