--- Comment #9 from Michael Daly <[email protected]> 2009-07-06 18:38:06 UTC --- Referring to that IRC chat (http://toolserver.org/~amidaniel/chanlogs/%23mediawiki/20090301.txt), faking the thumb was the recommended workaround (using a <div to set a size etc). Faking a frame obviously does the same sort of thing. Hence it is relatively trivial to override the intended restriction on the use of thumb. It seems to me that this faking just adds complexity to the situation (for the user) whereas just providing the capability would allow the user to do what they want to do without adding complexity. If the objection is to using thumb in this manner as a way of removing access to the image's page with the attribution and copyright information and since it appears that the "link=..." functionality is done by invoking ImageMap in some way (an error can invoke an ImageMap error message - hence my assumption) it seems to me that this feature should use an additional capability of ImageMap and just put the info icon (i in a circle) onto the image with the link to the image's page provided by clicking on the info icon. This would provide full use of the "link=..." feature for all extended image options without loss of direct access to the image's page. From the user's perspective, we get less complexity all around and a more consistent rule for the feature's use. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
