Template talk:Main page image

Protected edit request on 22 October 2021

Update from sandbox: Special:Diff/1051326333. This swaps out the nested template approach for a direct call to {{#invoke:string|replace}}. The reason for this is both general code simplification/modernization, and to avoid spreading cascade-protection out to templates that would not otherwise be protected. (In particular, the second reason is why the equivalent {{replace}} is not used.) This has been tested in the testcases page; the original tests were adequate to test this feature, but I have updated them to use Template:Test cases which verifies that there is no change at all to output for the tested inputs.

Update: please instead copy Special:Permalink/1052352524 to Template:Main page image, and also copy Special:Permalink/1052354348 to Template:Main page image/DYK. This includes the edit request above, and also fulfils the feature request below. User:GKFX^talk 18:19, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Thumbtime

Hacky way

Normal size without thumbtime hack

I'm submitting a DYK nomination with a video, and I'd like to use the thumbtime parameter to give it a better image. Doing that in a hacky way seems to affect the size, though. {{main page image/DYK|image=Money Musk at Youth Dance Weekend 2019.webm{{!}}thumbtime=60|caption=Hacky way}} results in the smaller image at right, compared to the normal-sized one beside it. I'm not sure why that's happening, but could a |thumbtime= parameter be added to (hopefully) resolve it? Cheers, {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 17:44, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Done in sandbox and tested at testcases page. Please could an administrator copy both changes to the main templates? User:GKFX^talk 18:15, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Lua errors

Please can you make it fail gracefully when the image parameter is blank. I know it is not supposed to be used without an image specified but sometimes a bot comes along and removes the image. See Template:Did you know nominations/Fredericka Martin. Thanks — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:56, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
