I've gone through and added headers to each of the conversations on this page so that it's easier to navigate. Some of them duplicate one another, but I won't presume to rearrange other people's comments just yet. - [[User:IMSoP|IMSoP]] 21:10, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)

==Do you have to provide a thumbnail image?==
I'm confused: If you choose 'thumb', do you have to provide a thumbnail image, or is the "thumbnail" actually just a squeezed-up copy of the normal image, or is the Wiki software somehow generating a thumbnail image on the fly, or what?
—[[User:Paul A|Paul A]] 02:14, 30 Jan 2004 (UTC)
:The software generates a sized-down image, so it's not just the big image scaled down by the browser. The image is stored on the web server, so it's generated only once to reduce performance impact. -- [[User:JeLuF|JeLuF]] 10:56, Jan 30, 2004 (UTC)
==Alternate text is not the same as title text==
▲----
From the text:<br/>
''"and the alternate text is used as alt=-attribute for use as mouse popup and for screen reader."''<br/>

:OK, I've calmed down long enough to be more wiki-like about this, and gone ahead and changed the page so that it talks about a ''caption text'' which is used for more than one purpose. I've reworded various bits to be more precise and/or understandable while I was at it, with the side effect that it may be a bit more verbose. Let me know if you think I've gone too far/done something inappropriate. - [[User:IMSoP|IMSoP]] 12:14, 30 Jan 2004 (UTC)
==Eventual move to meta / help namespace==
Once this feature is included in a [[MediaWiki]] release, this page will need to be moved to [[meta:MediaWiki User's Guide]]. In the future, we will need to have a help namespace for MediaWiki-specific pages that would link to the user guide on Meta. --[[User:Maveric149|mav]] 00:20, 31 Jan 2004 (UTC)
==Supplying own thumbnail==
Would it be possible to extend the new syntax to supply a seperate image to be used as the thumbnail? For some images I optimized the thumbnail manually to provide only a part of the full image to enhance the quality of the small image. For two Examples [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:LosHawlos see my user page in de:].<br>
It should be possible to implement this backward compatible as: <tt><nowiki>[[Image:LargeImage.jpg|Image:OptionalThumbnail.jpg|options|caption]]</nowiki></tt> -- [[User:LosHawlos|LosHawlos]] 20:38, 31 Jan 2004 (UTC)

==Feature request==
Line 96 ⟶ 104:
::I had already proposed this before, my proposal was to add a 'caption' keyword to say that you want the alt-text as a caption, or a different caption. That is, <nowiki>[[Image:someimage.jpg|right|Image]]</nowiki> would have no caption and alt-text 'Image' (as it is now), <nowiki>[[Image:someimage.jpg|right|caption|Image]]</nowiki> would have 'Image' both as caption and as alt-text, and <nowiki>[[Image:someimage.jpg|right|caption:A crappy thing|Image]]</nowiki> would have 'Image' as alt-text and 'A crappy thing' as caption. [[User:JeLuF|JeLuF]] seemed not to think it would be useful, unfortunately. [[User:Andre Engels|Andre Engels]] 18:46, 3 Feb 2004 (UTC)
==Could someone help fix... / standard thumbnail width==
Could someone vistit [[Monument to the Royal Stuarts]], and fix the nifty magnifying glass thing, which I copied from [[Athens]], so that it leads to the big version of the photo as it is supposed to. The big version is uploaded as <nowiki>[[Image:ac.stuarts.jpg]]</nowiki> and the small version as <nowiki>[[image:ac.stuarts2.jpg]]</nowiki>. Obviously I have missed a step in the process somewhere.

::::I second this suggestion. A standard width of 300px would be perfect. [[User:Hadal|Hadal]] 16:32, 1 Feb 2004 (UTC)
==Image position==
Line 136 ⟶ 146:
::::Oddly, it seems I have to hard refresh every time I come to this page to get the correct layout. i.e. I load the page, get whitespace, hard refresh, no whitespace. Something local to me? Something squidy? Something with the new image code? [[User:Pcb21|Pete/Pcb21]] [[User_talk:Pcb21|(talk)]] 12:11, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)

==Bug in the image resize code==
[[User:Sennheiser|Sennheiser]] points out a problem with the new image resize feature. Please see [[Igor Kurchatov]] to fully understand the problem.
Line 172 ⟶ 180:
:the center is fine (although it shows in the alt text!), the problem is the "". I just chucked the pic in the [[Wikipedia:Sandbox]] with the "" and then replaced them with ', and it worked. You can't wikify the caption either, and I imagine that you might have a problem if the caption should read thumb, or right. ;) (Wonderful beard, by the way!)

== "Thumb" image function annoyingly buggy ==

==Delete "thumbs"?==
Take the [[iMac]] article. Please I don't want it. Sorry. Take a glance at the [[iMac]] article. It has a large "thumbnail", and a link full-sized version. Should the "thumbnail" be deleted, and replace with this code, or do we leave it as is, and only apply this code to new uploads? - [[user:zanimum]]
