Bug #: 28885
Summary: Frameless video fails (or does not generate
thumbnail), while frameless still images succeed
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Images and files
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
A still image always creates an image or thumbnail on a wiki page (unless
":File" is used). The "thumb" parameter for a still image is used to cause the
article to show an image (thumbnail) of the specified size, with no frame or
caption text. But a thumbnail or image is still shown.
Video should be treated the same. Video should be capable of inclusion without
a frame like still images (there are places a frame would be unsightly). But
including a video without the thumb parameter behaves badly inconsistently. It
does not create a frameless captionless thumbnail + "play" control. In fact
there is no obvious way to do this for video. It probably should.
Examples: compare the rendering of these three markups:
[[File:SN1994D.jpg|x150px]]
[[File:Black hole lensing web.gif|x150px]]
[[File:Millisecond pulsar and accretion disk - NASA animation (low
res).ogv|x150px]]
The still image and animated still image both render framelessly. The video
does not. Unlike still images and anmimated GIF's, there is no way to produce a
thumbnail for the video without also adding a frame.
