From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Our policy at WP:IMGSIZE states unequivocally
px
... which forces a fixed image width. In most cases upright=scaling factor
should be used, thereby respecting the user's base preference (which may have been selected for that user's particular devices)."However, this template can not utilize relative sizing.
Also, our policy at WP:MOSALT says "Alternative text is text associated with an image that serves the same purpose and conveys the same essential information as the image. In situations where the image is not available to the reader, perhaps because they have turned off images in their web browser or are using a screen reader due to a visual impairment, the alternative text ensures that no information or functionality is lost. Absent or unhelpful alternative text can be a source of frustration for visually impaired users."
"On Wikipedia, alternative text is typically supplied through a combination of the image caption and the text supplied for the image alt
parameter in the MediaWiki markup."
However, this template can not utilize the image alt
parameter.
Consequently, before using this template, serious consideration should be given to whether using this template offers any significant advantages that override the two policies outlined above.
