I am (vaguely) aware of API call capabilities, for example I know ImageAnnotator.js [1] has access to image size, since it is using it. But Bawolff is right, I am trying to access it from Lua or template code.
As for file path, I am still confused. I tried to use Special:ExpandTemplates to test several possible syntaxes: [[Special:filepath/Verschaffelt Moses von Michelangelo.jpg]] [[Special:Redirect/file/Verschaffelt Moses von Michelangelo.jpg]] [[:Special:Redirect/file/Verschaffelt Moses von Michelangelo.jpg]] {{subst:Special:Redirect/file/Verschaffelt Moses von Michelangelo.jpg}} And the first 3 give me a blue-link while the 4-th one does not work. I was hoping to get "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/34/Verschaffelt_Moses_von_Michelangelo.jpg" string. KML files like [2] , called by our templates [3] hotlinking directly to commons images. Jarek T.

Additionally if you have access to the api, you can use iiprop=dimensions already. This is a somewhat commonly requested thing (e.g. some folks on wikipedia want to make a gallery lua module that takes aspect ratio into account), so adding an interface to lua to retrieve this info would make sense imo. -bawolff _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
