Hi all
I have submitted a proposal on captcha improvements as a GSoC project and i
have come to know that I need to complete some microtasks assigned by a
mentor in order to prove i am capable of handling the project. My problem
is how to get somebody to mentor my project? How can i have the

Currently mediawiki constrains image size primarily by width, which doesn't

way to ask for an image which has a height equal to the default thumbnail
size (without explicitly specifying a size in px)!
It would be nice to

A square bounding box does not change the aspect ratio of the image.
It just says limit the largest dimension to X px.
The 'upright' option is a failed workaround for this issue. It is
described in some documentation as limiting the height of the image,
but that it incorrect. It is still a

Our goal should be to relinquish control of image sizing to the view, not
build in more or different ways to specify it in the model.
Images should be given semantic classifications, and the skin should decide
how to best display the image. Maybe it will be inline with the content,
maybe it will

Hi all,
I’m trying to add a feature to Wikimetrics that will allow users to create a
cohort with a username and find all accounts across wikis. I want to use the

Any links to documentation on consuming data from the CentralAuth databases

Yep. Localuser keeps track of the attachments, so any entry there for a
username + wiki means the global username of the same name is attached on
