I guess this could be done if there is community consensus for it on frwiki.

There is no opposition to this improvement. Is it time consuming to be able to give an additional choice? If not, we could have more choice over 300 pixels. (Il n'y a pas d'opposition à cette amélioration. Est-ce que cela demande beaucoup de temps à pouvoir donner à un choix supplémentaire ? Si non, on pourrait avoir davantage de choix supérieurs à 300 pixels.)

Changes like this are only made when the person requesting it can show community consensus [[WP:CON]]

Consensus of the geek community WP {{en}}: why not if quick and easy to implement.

When it is done?

(Consensus par les geek de la communauté WP {{fr}} : pourquoi pas si rapide et facile à mettre en place. Quand ça sera fait ? )

Giving this to Ashar. If you can convince him, then it'll happen quickly.

We limit the thumbnails size to a given set which is defined by the array $wgThumbLimits. The array key indexes are referred to by at least the user preference 'thumbsize', which mean we have to make sure the array order is unaltered.

Self note: look at wmgThumbsizeIndex

From the discussion on the local village pump (Le Bistro), the sizes have been choose arbitrary. I am wondering if we could find "better" size matching the smartphones screen sizes.

Thank you for extending up to 620 pixels.

sending this bug back in the pool of ops / shell requests.

We should sort the proposed resolutions by increasing size somewhere. Right now, the available resolutions are sorted as follow: 460, 620, 120, 150, 180, 200, 220, 250, 300.

Best regards

I agree with Jérémie Roquet. Proposed resolution should be sort by increasing size in https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=InitialiseSettings.php

Because of the additional size 460 and 620 px proposed after this bug resolution, the default size is now 180px instead of the 220px expected.

In InitialiseSettings it would be vetter to redefine completetly the list of proposed resolution instead of adding two values.

We have
'wgThumbLimits' => array(
'default' => array( 120, 150, 180, 200, 220, 250, 300 ),
'+frwiki' => array( 460, 620 ),
'+itwikiquote' => array( 360 ),
'svwiki' => array( 120, 200, 250, 300, 360 ),
),
'wmgThumbsizeIndex' => array(
'default' => 4,
'svwiki' => 2, // bug 16739
)

We should have

'wgThumbLimits' => array(
'default' => array( 120, 150, 180, 200, 220, 250, 300 ),
'frwiki' => array( 120, 150, 180, 200, 220, 250, 300, 460, 620 ),
'+itwikiquote' => array( 360 ),
'svwiki' => array( 120, 200, 250, 300, 360 ),
),
'wmgThumbsizeIndex' => array(
'default' => 4,
'svwiki' => 2, // bug 16739
)

I think the shift in default resolution (220px to 180px) is due to an unexpected effect of « +frwiki » which leads to a left hand side addition in wgThumbLimits array... If this shift is not managed in wmgThumbsizeIndex the default resolution is changed. I think my Comment #11 fixes both problems (sort by increasing size and default resolution).

Best regards.

Gerrit change #51152 , waiting for review.

Best regards,

The original request can not be fulfilled, that will cause too much stress on our caching and storage infrastructure.

I have reverted the original fix with:

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/51182

That would make this bug as RESOLVED/WONTFIX just like the request by hewiki to raise the thumb limit : bug 41712.

reopening since the revert patch is not merged/deployed yet :-)

Been merged by Sam. That essentially revert the french wiki back to use the set of thumbnails which are provided by default in MediaWiki.
