View all wishes.

Description

I was looking for a decent image in commons:Category:King Tomislav statue in Zagreb and came to realize that the thumbnail size cannot be changed (can it?). On my HiDPI laptop screen these thumbnails are 1" × 1" max. It'd be nice to have two or three zoom buttons on the page, say

1.5×

or

150px 200px 250px

We're already receiving width=250px images, I believe.

Support related wish: W397: In Commons category deepcategory view mode (wall of images), allow easily filtering offtopic subcats – you can already increase the thumbnails via the incategory (or deepcategory) search operator(s). This is not a reason against this wish but for it because this could simply be used by this feature (=quicker to implement) since users don't know of it and can't easily use it plus one would have to zoom in to change the size.

Support This is already a config option in mediawiki. I would also support changing default gallery type of categories to packed. Bawolff (talk) 22:05, 5 December 2025
