[Wikimediaindia-l] Images in wikipedia
When using wikipedia and clicking on an image it opens up on a new page. Wouldn't it be nice if it just scaled-up on the same page using JS. Is there an extension there for this? and if yes why not implemented on wikipedia? -- With Regards Nischay Nahata B.tech 3rd year Department of Information Technology NITK,Surathkal irc-nick nischayn22 ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Images in wikipedia
Nischay, when you click on an image it opens up in a new page, as you are aware. If you click on the image again all the html vanishes and only the image remains in your browser window for you to save, etc. The functionality is same as that from a js. Personally, I detest the js myself.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Images in wikipedia
Popups primarily display text, and any image in the target page is shown even smaller in size. I'm guessing that's not what Nischay's looking for; but there may be a gadget for that somewhere that someone wrote! If you think such a gadget will be useful, one can always write it if it doesn't exist.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Images in wikipedia
By user level customization it is possible. I think providing such a feature by default, in wiki level, in projects like wikipedia is a bad idea because each file page contains much more data than a pop up layer can afford. Unlike facebook or google plus, only relevant and properly licensed pictures, remain undeleted in wikimedia projects. So all informations present in media pages, including license, category, included pages, details about the file, etc are important for an encyclopedic project. So current style file pages are not replacable (atleast for now). Still user customization possible for those who not interested in such details.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Images in wikipedia
OFFTOPIC, but very important ;) *Anirudh Bhati wrote...* Okay, I'm starting the WikiProject India beer/soft drink pool. Henceforth, anybody who sign's off on the list with four tildes () instead of normally, owes a sixpack of beer/three large bottles of beer to the common pool. These will be kept accumulated till the next WikiConference when we drink this all in a huge party. Teetotallers will get 1 litre soft drink bottles of their choice more if their constitutions can withstand it instead of the beer. Oops, I'm guilty too so let's begin the pool with Anirudh me. We have six bottles in the pool already. Don't say you haven't been warned! Any representations will result in doubling of the fine. Anybody who objects to this proposal is permitted to do so but will have to pay the community a wiki-lawyering fee of sixpack of beer/three large bottles of beer to the common pool. Don't say you haven't been warned! Pretty soon, we should have enough for the party!

Coming to think of that, Wouldn't it be nice to have an automatic script or macro to be incorporated in a JS, or within the mail writer module or list mailer to automatically convert to the registered sender's user ID? :) Any takers? ~~~ oops [http://goo.gl/TbT92] On Tue, Feb 28, 2012 at 01:22, nischay nahata nischay...@gmail.com wrote: On Mon, Feb 27, 2012 at 10:32 PM, Amir E.
