Note that https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Square_bounding_boxes may be related, since we're talking about what size "default" thumbnails appear at. Also https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Standardized_thumbnails_... has existed for a while, it would be nice to get some traction on that. --scott

Proposal:
- Make the default a nice proper size for the modern Web; I suggest
360px but could be argued up.
- Remove all the other sizes from wgThumbLimits
- Remove the user preferences for thumbnail size
Despite the increase in screen sizes some people do still use 1024x768 and the like, so this seems a little radical to me, but it might be a reasonable option to consider if that's the only way. I hope that it isn't :)
This.
I for one keep my browser window sized at 1024x768 most of the time, which gives me plenty of extra screen room for other windows. I only maximize when dealing with sites that are designed for larger sizes only and degrade poorly, or occasionally for video calls if I feel like seeing people better. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
