Bug ID: 56469
Summary: Viewer lightbox state can't be bookmarked or
cut-n-pasted as a link
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: MultimediaViewer
Assignee: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Opening the viewer lightbox doesn't affect the URL or browser history, so you
can't easily save or share a link to an image you're viewing: if you just
bookmark or copy-paste the link from your URL bar, when the link is opened
you'll just see an article...
If you're in the know you can copy that "Learn more" link or manually
right-click and pull up the raw image, but these are.... not pretty. :)
Could append a hash parameter on the URL (using history.pushState()/popState()
when available) specifying the image to show in lightbox, and have a magic
handler to open a popup on load if such a hash is specified.
something like
