The current syntax is actually hard to machine-parse, with lots of language-specific overrides and weird options that combine in non-obvious ways. Not to mention that it overrides the simple link syntax... I wish when we'd renamed Image: to File: that we'd left the magic behavior only on the Image: alias so that links would be rationalized. :( Keep in mind also that in the glorious unicorn-filled future most people who aren't doing low-level template work will rarely see the markup. They'll just push a button to insert an image. > But defaulting to thumb seems like a good idea to > me (but we ought to make some usage stats first :) ). > Yeah... changing existing behavior gets scary. :) -- brion _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
