Dear Dan, Geni, Hay and Jan:
Thank you all for responding so quickly with your good suggestions!
Do any of these ideas resonate for you more than others? Have we missed anything else?
1. Ideas for a single class:
.exclude
.for-page-only
.hide
.media-reliant
.media-secondary
.media-navigational
.nommw
.noshow
.unrelated
or ...
2. Ideas for multiple classes:
.navigational
.maintenance
.award
.protection
Which of these suggestions seem more practical to you?
Should we take this discussion onwiki? or do you think we can resolve it via email?
We would love to find a swift resolution together, so we can make this feature available
sooner rather than later …
Much appreciated,
Fabrice

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).

.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
