(In reply to C. Scott Ananian from comment #11) > Tsui: bug 35756 might be a better solution, if what you want are > consistently-sized images. Some of my considerations: * Generally, the user's "Thumbnail size" preference is intended to be respected. * The behaviour of the "Thumbnail size" preference used to be defined as the preferred maximum width (in 1.24wmf5 and earlier versions), editors of WP expected that behaviour for years, when designing the pages. * The image option "upright=1" currently fixes the changed default behaviour back to how it used to be. * The configuration setting $wgThumbUpright defines the default scaling factor for images that use |upright without "=[scaling factor]". * There isn't any configuration setting that defines the default scaling factor for images that don't have |upright specified. My conclusion is that the only "workaround" for now, to return to how images were displayed before, is to use |upright=1 for each portrait orientated (thumb) image that is not explicitly sized. That would mean a lot of (bot) work, and symptom treatment. A solution would be a configuration setting that defines the default scaling factor for images that don't have |upright specified. But also that would be symptom treatment. Considering there is a new image option "square", which looks like to be intended to have the exact effect of the changed default behaviour of thumb, I don't really get why the default behaviour was changed in the first place. And to be honest, reading RFC meeting 2014-04-02 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Architecture_meetings/RFC_review_2014-04-02 , part of the participants didn't really understand the issue, another part did understand and also knew it would break a lot of pages, and you preferred proposal #2 (the new image option "square") but unfortunately wasn't heard. The best solution imo would be reverting the default behaviour, and those who want the square bounding box use "square".
