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). -- Hay On Mon, May 12, 2014 at 9:48 PM, geni <[email protected]> wrote: > I'd probably go with multiple descriptive classes rather than a single tag > if you are looking for future proofing. > > *navigational > *maintenance > *award > *protection > > > > On 12 May 2014 20:32, Fabrice Florin <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> 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.
