[edit] Sized "thumb"
I romoved the 80px part of the thumb tag due to how it treats for instance Image:Kantstolpe, vänster.gif. Since the Image its very much taller than wide the "thumb|80px" setting blow it up. Would prefere something which sets size 80px on hight or width depending on which is tallest but don't know how to do this. /Lokal Profil 17:35, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Reverted the change since it didn't work. What's needed is something similar to the scaling function working in the background of the gallery function... At which point I don't know how to proceed. /Lokal Profil 18:02, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
The use of {max_width}x{max_height}px seems to do the good effect and keep the aspect ratio :). I have put 100x100px. Regards, EDUCA33E 23:40, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] CONTENTLANGUAGE
Whoever wrote this is a bit of a doofus. This always displays in en, because the wiki default language is en. If you change your lang settings to something else, it will still display in en. Try it. So this useless bit can be removed and Superseded/en can be moved here. pfctdayelise (说什么?) 13:50, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] How do you use it?
Maybe it's because I'm a newbie on Wikimedia, but I don't understand how to use this tag. Just copying the unaltered tag {{Superseded/{{CONTENTLANGUAGE}}|{{{1}}}|{{{2|No reason given}}}}} to my image page results in a bunch of markup gobbledegook in the tag where the image names should be. Is the 1 supposed to be replaced with the superceded image name, and the 2 with the new image name? I tried several variations of that, but it still didn't work. Did I miss some instructions? --Chetvorno 17:47, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
- You should be able to just use {{Superseded|Imagename.jpg}}, replacing Imagename.jpg with whatever image superseded yours. You can also use {{Superseded|Imagename.jpg|reason}}, where reason is the reason the other image is better. HTH, bdesham ★ 14:47, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] This template should be categorized
{{editprotected}} Could an admin please add
- <noinclude>[[Category:Marker Templates|Superseded]]</noinclude>
to the end of this template? All of the language variants are properly categorized in Category:Marker templates, but not this one. --bdesham ★ 14:49, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed. A superseded image is not necessary problematic and has not to be deleted. This template should be moved from Category:Problem tags to Category:Marker templates. — Xavier, 11:13, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removal of the deletion instructions
The deletion instructions have been part of this template as long as I can remember, and so has the big red ugly warning saying that deletion has been suspended. I've gone ahead and changed {{Superseded/en}} to cut out this unnecessary and confusing cruft. Let the flaming commence ;-) bdesham ★ 05:02, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Usage documentation
{{editprotected}} This template is missing documentation. Could an admin replace the stuff in the noinclude tags with {{template doc}} and move the categories to the ensuing /doc subpage to allow it to be added? Bryan Derksen 06:06, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Done but I'm not sure it's standard practise to put the categories on the documentation (eg see en:Template:Ifd). ~ Riana ⁂ 14:31, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] linking
It does not make much of a difference, in principle the namespace in front of the filename is not necessary. Now the English and German version can deal with both, but maybe within the documentation one should state that the namespace should not be used.
What would be good, if one could add a link to a file on another wikiprojekt. Since there might be a better file that one does not want to transfer right now, but that might be transfered by somebody else in the future. --Cwbm (commons) (talk) 14:05, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
