Any ideas on how to handle this for captionless images and for really
small images?
Possibly just change the alt (and title) attribute for the image? Have
the standard alt (ie. the image page title) or the user-supplied one
(if any) and concatenate a notice on the end.
I've added another proposed look to your page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Thebainer/thumbtest
The thought behind my proposal is that the universal copyright symbol
is more likely to express the importance of the information behind the
link. The hand icon signifies something that you can click on.
I don't know if the copyright symbol conveys the correct message. To
me, the symbol displayed next to some work typically conveys that
there are (most if not all) rights reserved in relation to that work.
I've overlapped the image slightly, which may
cause some problems in
IE... but if we actually wanted something like that style both
possible sources of problems (broken z-index handling and PNG
transparency) can be worked around.
Well, my tests are just hacks really. If we actually implemented
something like this, it ought to be done in the software and
configurable through a MediaWiki message.
