How about just .unrelated? Simple to understand, following the criteria you just mentioned. More human readable than something more technically correct such as .nommw

I guess the best class name would be one that indicates that the image
is for viewing 'in the flow of the article only', and isn't really
meant for viewing as a standalone image (which is what you would use
the mediaviewer for).

So maybe something like:

for-page-only
media-reliant
media-secondary
media-navigational

I guess prefixing it with 'media' would not be a bad idea as well to
avoid having it clash with other classnames (that's why 'hide' or
'noshow' would probably be too generic).

I'd probably go with multiple descriptive classes rather than a single tag
if you are looking for future proofing.

*navigational
*maintenance
*award
*protection

.not-multimedia

or maybe reverse the logic and only allow tagged items to appear in media viewer

.multimedia


with kind regards,

Hi all,

We would appreciate your help to come up with a class name that community members can use to exclude an image from Media Viewer or related tools.

Too many small files (like icons, flags, etc.) appear in Media Viewer for some articles, even though they are unrelated to the topic of the article. Other image files also need to be excluded, because they are not suitable for Media Viewer (such as maps using weird CSS/JS tricks, or images which use a clipping template).   

Many community members have reported this issue, which delivers an unpleasant browsing experience for users who only want to view images that are relevant for the article they are reading (and which are supported by Media Viewer).

We agree that this is an important issue. The most practical way to address it would require editors to add a .metadata class to the images they don’t want to show on a page, as proposed here:

https://wikimedia.mingle.thoughtworks.com/projects/multimedia/cards/511

We just need to come up with a class name people are happy with for excluding an image from Media Viewer or related tools. We already exclude images which have a .metadata class, but there are images that aren't really metadata but still not appropriate.

Any ideas? What class name do you recommend we use to convey this important information?

Here are some possible ideas, to get this conversation started;
* hide
* exclude
* noshow
* ??

It would be best if we agreed on a name that is not tied to Media Viewer, so it can be used by other tools which may have the same needs, now or in the future.

Once we settle on a class name, we can schedule that feature for development, so editors can filter out unsuitable images for everyone’s viewing pleasure :)

Thanks for your feedback!


Fabrice
