Hi
Hope I am posting to the correct list.
I am doing an opensearch query via the api
(
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&search=Te)=Te). Some search results
come with a tiny thumbnail image link. I would like to know if the thumbnails are defined
when someone is creating a wikipedia page or if there is some kind of algorithm that
automatically creates these thumbnails. Would be glad about any information about this
matter.
The opensearch result itself just contains page titles, no images. I'm
guessing whatever's showing you these images is using some heuristic
like finding the first image on the page and showing you that.
