Thumb size[edit | edit source]

Hello. In my view, the thumb image size is a little small. --Ulf (talk) 18:57, 11 August 2014 (CEST)

Hello, you can change the default size (actually width) for thumbnail images in your personal preferences. It will have an effect on all thumbnails where the size is nicely specified using the parameter upright (see Help:Image). Klipe (talk) 20:32, 15 August 2014 (CEST)
Klipe, thank you for the reply! This wiki seems like a great and much needed site on the web. However, I myself am 40 years old, and so don't tend to read here that much. :-) My comment was for your consideration about the thumb size in general.
Specifically this is something I'm thinking about particularly regarding the Sun article. The picture there uses the upright parameter, and because of that the image is large enough. However, it's so large that it doesn't print well. While experimenting to see if I could reduce the image size just a little bit, I was only able to put it back to default thumb size, which seemed too small. --Ulf (talk) 21:34, 15 August 2014 (CEST)
Can't you fix the thumb size by |upright=1.2|... ? I guess the default thumb size is something that can be chosen and fixed globally anytime later (for Vikidia in several language). Yet that's a good question! Astirmays (talk) 21:39, 17 August 2014 (CEST)
