I reset [[Module:Random slideshow/sandbox]] to the production version of 14:50, 10 March 2021 by [[User:Frietjes|Freitjes]], and using {{tl|Transclude files as random slideshow/sandbox}} in the above markup, the bogus file option goes away ... almost. It's replaced by one of those pesky, dare I say "bogus px" bogus file options. Anyway, the longer bogus file option is attributable to your latest change. —[[User:Anomalocaris|Anomalocaris]] ([[User talk:Anomalocaris|talk]]) 17:20, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

:[[User:Anomalocaris|Anomalocaris]], have you considered fixing the articles instead? if the parameters image parameters are bogus, then there should be no reason not to fix the articles. for example, [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=insource%3A%2Fupright{{urlencode:[ ]*[0-9]}}%2B%2F&title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns0=1 this search] shows many upright problems (syntax not documented in [[Wikipedia:Extended image syntax]]).

Some version of this error is still present on a few Portal pages. I used [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] with "Portal:Marine life" in the Context title to expand the following:

<pre>

{{Transclude files as random slideshow

| Marine habitats

}}

</pre>

That results in a bogus image option here:

<pre>

File:Eurythenes plasticus (10.11646-zootaxa.4748.1.9) Figure 3.jpg|<span class="switcher-label" style="display:none"><span class="randomSlideshow-sr-only">Image 2</span></span>thumb|640&nbsp;µm microplastic found in the deep sea amphipod ''Eurythenes plasticus'' (from '''[[Marine habitats]]''')

</pre>

An error-free instance looks like this:

<pre>

File:The White Rocks near Portrush (1) - geograph.org.uk - 785899.jpg|<span class="switcher-label" style="display:none"><span class="randomSlideshow-sr-only">Image 3</span></span>Sandy shores provide shifting homes to many species (from '''[[Marine habitats]]''')

</pre>

Note the undesirable presence of <code><nowiki>thumb|</nowiki></code> in the former example. It looks like the module attempts to strip out "thumb" and similar parameters from gallery entries, but in this case, it appears to have failed. This "thumb" problem appears to be happening in a just a couple of Portal pages, but there are similar errors in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:LintErrors/bogus-image-options?namespace=100 a dozen or so Portal pages], so fixing it in the module would be best. There are a few more instances of complex markup in image captions failing to be stripped (e.g. "Map of counties in Missouri by racial plurality, per the 2020 US Census" from [[Missouri]]). I'm hoping a change to the regex in the module will be sufficient. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 20:43, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
