::{{ping|Mr. Stradivarius}} I was able to figure out what was going on in {{tl|CSS crop}} well enough to implement it (far slimmer) on the snippet template; specifics (and examples) at [[Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom#Template for article images]]. Here is what the template looks like with all its arguments;

:After actually working it out enough to build something that functioned, it turns out there are only three meta attributes needed to fully specify a scale and crop: <code>scale</code>, <code>x</code> and <code>y</code>. All are integers, although I think it might also be useful to permit values like <code>top</code>, <code>bottom</code>, <code>left</code>, <code>right</code> and <code>center</code> (these aren't handled by the template yet but they could be in the future). There are also two more params I didn't think of above, <code>author</code> and <code>license</code>, which are necessary for image attribution. <b style="font-family: monospace; color:#E35BD8">[[User:JPxG|<b style="color:#029D74">jp</b>]]×[[Special:Contributions/JPxG|<b style="color: #029D74">g</b>]][[User talk:JPxG|🗯️]]</b> 03:59, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
