== em sizes ==

I think em sizes should be perfectly possible to support by now. Just have a bit JavaScript fix up the src-attributes if it turns out the initial guess was incorrect. [[Special:Contributions/92.67.227.181|92.67.227.181]] ([[User talk:92.67.227.181|talk]]) 16:31, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

== How to ''link'' to a specific DjVu/PDF page? ==

The {{para|page}} parameter allows selecting a specific page in a DjVu/PDF file when ''displaying'' an image (example: <code><nowiki>[[File:Alice in Wonderland.djvu|thumb|page=5|Page 5 from ...]]</nowiki></code>). However, this does not work for ''linking'' to a specific page:

* <code><nowiki>[[:File:Alice in Wonderland.djvu|page=5|p.&amp;nbsp;5]]</nowiki></code> gives "[[:File:Alice in Wonderland.djvu|page=5|p.&nbsp;5]]" with a wrong text and a link to the whole file instead of its specific page.

* <code><nowiki>[[:File:Alice in Wonderland.djvu?page=5|p.&amp;nbsp;5]]</nowiki></code> gives "[[:File:Alice in Wonderland.djvu?page=5|p.&nbsp;5]]" with correct text but a wrong link with [[percent-encoding|percent-encoded]] <code>?</code> symbol.

Is there a valid wiki syntax or a helper template to achieve this without using an "external link" (<code><nowiki>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Alice_in_Wonderland.djvu?page=5 p.&amp;nbsp;5]</nowiki></code>)? — [[User:Mikhail Ryazanov|Mikhail Ryazanov]] ([[User talk:Mikhail Ryazanov|talk]]) 21:50, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

: Found the template myself (accidentally): {{tlx|PDF page link|file{{=}}Alice in Wonderland.djvu|page{{=}}5|text{{=}}p.&amp;nbsp;5}} gives "{{PDF page link|file=Alice in Wonderland.djvu|page=5|text=p.&nbsp;5}}". No wiki syntax apparently exists. — [[User:Mikhail Ryazanov|Mikhail Ryazanov]] ([[User talk:Mikhail Ryazanov|talk]]) 02:52, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

== Specifying image dimensions for OpenGraph metadata ==

The article on [[Kat Abughazaleh]] has an image, [[commons:File:Kat_Abughazaleh_2_(portrait_cropped).jpg|a portrait photo of the subject]] that a contributor cropped from [[commons:File:Kat_Abughazaleh_2.jpg|a larger photo]], in the infobox. When social media sites extract metadata from that page via OpenGraph and prefer a landscape-oriented image ([https://bsky.app/profile/spm1961.bsky.social/post/3lolwbe7qbc2m example]), the default dimensions/crop are sometimes pretty suboptimal, displaying the person's nose and mouth but truncating the eyes.

Off the top of my head, I can imagine a few ways of fixing this:

== Quote marks around code examples ==

# Include two images on the page; use <code>class=pageimage</code> and <code>class=notpageimage</code> to override the [[mediawikiwiki:Extension:PageImages|Page Images]] selection criteria so that one goes into the social media preview and the other is actually displayed to those who visit the page

Is there any reason why long sections of this have quote marks around the code examples? This seems strange and potentially confusing formatting, with the risk that people will think they have to type the quote marks, besides being redundant and distracting.

# <nowiki>replace the current image with the prior uncropped image, use {{</nowiki>[[Template:CSS image crop|CSS image crop]]<nowiki>}} or {{</nowiki>[[Template:Annotated image|Annotated image]]<nowiki>}} to crop it appropriately for portrait display in the infobox, so that the re-cropping by OpenGraph has more to work with</nowiki>

I welcome advice! [[User:Sumanah|Sumana Harihareswara]] 15:24, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

Surely part of the point of using <code>code</code> style is that the text can be shown exactly as entered, without needing punctuation?

== Centre a caption? ==

'''Edit:''' OK, I see that one user unilaterally put them in. Unfortunately, it looks as though there are also now places where <code>'''''bold italic code'''''</code> was taken out of code style altogether, so the typography doesn't match the opening explanation of how it's used.

:'''Update:''' I think I've now repaired the ''Brief syntax'' section, at least. I wanted to read up about the syntax and was finding the quote marks and changed formatting impossibly distracting.{{pb}}I didn't simply revert the edits that added them, as it looked a bit too risky a process that might lose good edits as well.

Is there a way to centre align (or centre justify) a caption below an image? [[User:Spideog|Spideog]] ([[User talk:Spideog|talk]]) 14:48, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

== Displaying groups of images ==

Why does this page not mention templates like {{t|Photo montage}} and {{t|multiple image}}? [[User:Jarble|Jarble]] ([[User talk:Jarble|talk]]) 15:55, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
