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
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thumbnail_style_update
Much thanks,
Quiddity
