Unless I misunderstand, I cant imagine this going over well with people who use images. Images are square pretty much never. If there are issues with how to display really tall images, that can be worked out. I fail to see why square boxes are neccessary. -bawolff _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
