MZMcBride <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #4 from MZMcBride <[email protected]> --- Yeah... I think the current behavior is pretty strange. There _is_ a link, as you note: --- <div class="fullImageLink" id="file"><a href="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/56/Gomek.jpg"><img alt="File:Gomek.jpg" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/56/Gomek.jpg/484px-Gomek.jpg" width="484" height="600"></a> --- But this link is being intentionally disabled with JavaScript. This can be a pretty nasty trick on the user. On any device with a cursor, the image appears clickable on-hover, but it really isn't. Oww. If we assume that the people most worried about data usage are on devices without JavaScript, the remnant link continues to work. Not great either. Arguably kind of the opposite of graceful degradation. The inconsistent behavior between desktop and mobile, and between devices with or without JavaScript support, certainly seems like a bug to me. Regardless of the good intention (preventing people from accidentally clicking the image when they just want to zoom in), we're pretty clearly defying user expectations here. File description pages had click-through to the raw image long before December 2011. :-) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
