Summary: Ability to dynamically change base font-size of
Mediawiki
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.16-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Vector Skin
AssignedTo: tpars...@wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: e...@wp.pl
We (@pl.wiki) have loads of reports that say "FONT SIZE IS TO SMALL!!!" (yes in
capitals ;-)) and sometimes quite opposite that font size is too big. I'm aware
that some reports might be made because of different renderings in different
browsers (like in bug 23956), still it seems that problems like that should be
resolved differently.
We try to educate people that they can zoom in/out pages in their browsers (or
change DPI), but I think a more appropriate solution would be to add some "A+",
"A-" buttons to make fonts bigger and smaller through JavaScript. Script could
add some class to body (or #content) that would change the size and set a
cookie to preserve the state (e.g. for 10 days). In e-newspapers there are
usually 3 to 5 sizes of fonts. Three state version is kinda easier to do from
an interface perspective as there could be 3 letters "A" with gradual size.
One more thing - we could do it with JavaScript alone, but I think the class
should be added on server side so that fonts wouldn't flicker upon loading a
page.
