Bug #: 36238
Summary: New user pref: Image size limit for embedded images
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: File management
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
There is the user pref "Image size limit: (for file description pages)" which
makes sense, cos when you have a low resolution monitor, you don't want images
to be e.g 1000px wide.
Epic fail: It only applies to file pages!
It should apply wiki-wide, including embedded images on normal content pages.
It never bothered me but on the company wiki we use many screenshots. These are
embedded as large as possible to be readable on the page itself w/o opening
their file page; usually 600-1000px.
But that's bad accessibility for people who use low resolution monitors (e.g.
disabled people). MediaWiki is not barrier-free that way.
Solution: Add a new pref "Maximum size of embedded images or thumbnails".
This should override
* embedded images in full width with [[File:Example.jpg]]
* embedded images with a width [[File:Example.jpg|800px]]
* galleries <gallery widths="800px">
Using a maximum width only would work as well.
