             Bug #: 34194
           Summary: manualthumb broken?
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.18.1
          Platform: All
               URL: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=parse&text=

                    images|wikitext|text&format=jsonfm
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Parser

    Classification: Unclassified


Using the manualthumb feature (thumb= inside a imagelink) looks broken.
(Search for 'manualthumb' in Linker.php)

Broken because:
* The image is linking to the file under thumb=. In my opinion this feature
makes no sense with this link, when only the magnify link links to the original
file
* It is not possible to set a size for the image. It is always loaded in full
size
* nice to have: the thumb= param should ignore a File namespace
* the used image is not registered in the iamgelinks table, makes it hard to
find all usages

Keep and fix  or  drop  that feature?
