I think this would be pretty confusing - the infobox is the primary image for most articles (often the only one) and it would seem very strange to trigger it for other images but not this one. That said, a filter of: * is in one of the following "content" templates [infobox and variants]; or * is called with |thumb|; or * is in <gallery> would seem to get most of the "content" images; the challenge would be building the template whitelist on a per-wiki basis. > Also the mediaviewer commons image parser doesnt work well for complex > pages, such as images typically seen on the frontpage of the projects.

This is indeed a complex image - the description seems to be embedded in a hand-coded table. https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Sitta_europaea_wildlife_2_1.jpg&action=edit IME, this is relatively unusual for frontpage highlighted images - they have rich metadata, certainly, but it's usually in a standardised form that the mediaviewer should be able to interpret. -- - Andrew Gray andrew.g...@dunelm.org.uk _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list Commons-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
