Now you mention it, I'm really surprised I haven't seen anything else using that big white-space area. But it seems a bit odd to keep it empty just in case someone else wants to use it, especially when making these prominent is so useful. A useful solution might be to implement an option to have the "normal" sharing buttons display below the images, and then anyone writing a script which wants to use the right-hand side can include the trigger for that function - move them out of the way in order to add in your new exciting rotation tool or what have you, but not affect them the rest of the time. As long as that second tool is itself an opt-in option, this wouldn't conflict too much... -- - Andrew Gray [email protected] _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
