I find the image size of the example article far too small to be functional. Can it somehow be enlarged? [[User:Tony1|<b style="color:darkgreen">Tony</b>]] [[User talk:Tony1|<span style="color:darkgreen">(talk)</span>]] 08:13, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
:I agree completely. I came to this page to say exactly the same thing, but you beat me to it. Unfortunately, I see it's a year later, and nobody fixed the issue, or even bothered to respond to your request to–''at the very least''–say "it can't be done." Not only that, any newcomers trying to bring up this very same issue cannot do so, because this talk page is semi-protected. Not a great start for people new to Wikipedia to be shown a basically useless image when they click on it, and then can't suggest an improvement here. I'd make a replacement screenshot myself, but the resolution on this aging laptop I'm using is unlikely to produce a usable image. Maybe a Wikipedian with a nice monitor, especially one that can tilt in portrait mode, could take a representative screenshot of an article, and replace (overlay) the existing way-too-small image? If so, please include all the standardized sections in whatever article is used for the screenshot, including the less-frequently used "Further Reading" section; I find it hard to remember exactly where it's supposed to go, and the example image left it out, I think (squinting). ~ [[User:Itsfullofstars|Itsfullofstars]] ([[User talk:Itsfullofstars|talk]]) 16:47, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
::@[[User:Tony1|Tony1]] and @[[User:Itsfullofstars|Itsfullofstars]], the file on Commons was called [[:File:Wikipedia layout sample medium.png|File:Wikipedia layout sample medium.png]], and although it didn't have a link to any large version, typing in [[:File:Wikipedia layout sample large.png|File:Wikipedia layout sample large.png]] led to a large version (yay!), which also looks to have more modern formatting, so I've switched to that.
::Regarding the protection, there's a link at the top to an unprotected feedback form. It's not ideal, but the protection here is unfortunately necessary to prevent a flood of spammy test edits. If it wasn't protected, myself and probably others wouldn't be willing to keep watching it, and there'd be no one to respond to posts. <span style="color:#AAA"><small>&#123;{u&#124;</small><span style="border-radius:9em;padding:0 5px;background:#088">[[User:Sdkb|<span style="color:#FFF">'''Sdkb'''</span>]]</span><small>}&#125;</small></span> <sup>[[User talk:Sdkb|'''talk''']]</sup> 17:42, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
