Hi folks,
Thanks for all your helpful feedback about Media Viewer in recent days. We
really appreciate your candid recommendations on our main discussion page
(1), as well as on English and German Wikipedia pages — and survey comments
confirm many of the issues you and other community members have raised.
The multimedia team is taking your feedback to heart, and we are sorry for
any inconvenience caused by this tool. To respond quickly to the most
frequent requests, we have now pushed back other projects to focus on Media
Viewer for the next few weeks.
Here are some of the new features we are now developing for you, based on
community suggestions.
1. Disable Media Viewer quickly:
* Instant Opt-in: A more prominent way for registered users to disable
Media Viewer, without having to go to preferences. (#703)
* Opt-out for anons: An easy way for anonymous users to disable Media
Viewer, using localstorage. (#704)
2. View images in larger/different sizes:
* View original file: A prominent button to open the original image in your
browser, so you can zoom in to see its details, or download it for re-use.
(#630)
* View different sizes: Prominent links to view images in different sizes
from the Download panel, so you can open them in your browser. (#664)
3. Discover image information:
* Make it easier to find image information: Provide clear visual cues that
more information is available, with links to open the metadata panel. (#706)
* Scrolling down to see more info: Use either up or down arrows to open the
metadata panel below the image, to make it easier to find. (#697)
4. Edit / Learn more on Commons
* Show Commons link to logged out users: Show a prominent link to the
Commons file page to all users, so they can learn more about this image.
(#429)
5. Learn to use Media Viewer:
* Add tooltips to Media Viewer: Show more tooltips in Media Viewer, so that
users can tell what each button will do. (#546)
You can view more details about these features on our planning site. (2)
We are working hard to get these changes completed by tomorrow, so we can
test them before releasing them to production. If all goes well, we expect
to deploy some of them to the English Wikipedia and other Media Viewer
sites by Thursday evening. The rest of them will be deployed the following
week.
Please let us know what you think on our main discussion page (1). Which of
these features seem most useful to you? Are there other critical features
that you think we should consider next?
Thanks again for all you’ve done already to make this a better product. We
are grateful for all the constructive suggestions we’ve received for our
community and look forward to improving Media Viewer together.
Onward!
Fabrice — for the Multimedia Team
