Re: [Wikitech-l] Is file location and file size aviable to templates

[Tuszynski, Jaroslaw W.]

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.

I believe Jarek is looking to get the info from wikitext, so that wouldnt help 
him. 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.
