Well, yes. We're writing for MediaWiki use :) The purpose of a wiki, and the purpose of our wikis, is text-oriented, so that's my focus. When I view the files and I click the X, I want to exit out of the viewer experience. I don't think this is colored by my Wikimedia time. Back should go back, X should clear out. If I have just scrolled though 10 images in a gallery, I don't think I want to revisit all the images using the back button. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
