Doc Problem and Placing images side by side
According to the category Category:Pages using deprecated image syntax, it was told that the syntax |image=[[File:Example.jpg]] should not be used and it needs to be replaced by Example.jpg. If that is right, then shouldn't it be corrected in the document page of this module?
Secondly, I have recently asked following question in the talk page Category talk:Pages using deprecated image syntax, but I couldn't find a complete correct answer. So I am asking it here. The question is, how can I place 2 images side by side without being separated according to the new format of including files ie. according to the latest version of this module? For example, please consider the images present in the article 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry. Adithyak1997 (talk) 14:43, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
Thumbnails
After months of cleaning out Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images every other day or two, I'm wondering whether there isn't a better solution? Based on my experience, 99% of the time when a page is dumped into that category, it is a brand new user creating a page for the first time. They upload an image and then copy and paste the pre-generated thumbnail text from the upload wizard. So I see 2 possible solutions...
- Instead of displaying the image and putting the page in a category, why not just render a {{error}} message saying "Yea... Don't effing do this!" I kid on the language of course... But we could render an error saying something like "Thumbnails should not be rendered in an infobox, please provide an image name only. See WP:INFOBOXIMAGE for more information."
- Since we are already performing a check for
thumbin the Module, why don't we just remove thethumbparameter if it is found? That way an image never renders as a thumb?
Any thoughts? --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 20:58, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
- Template:Ping do either of you have any thoughts? --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:53, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, would be possible to remove thumb, but would need replacing with frameless rather than just a straight removal. Think that would be ok. -- WOSlinker (talk) 19:57, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
- Template:Ping do you think that would be a good approach? --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 20:00, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Multiple images listed on Wikidata
Hello. For Wikidata items which has more than one image listed, it generates an error when rendered locally. For example:
- Run
{{Infobox power station/sandbox}}in edit preview of Kajaki Dam. Note the "300px" instead of an image.
Is there a way to fetch a maximum of only one value (i.e. one image), like the maxvals parameter of Module:WikidataIB? Rehman 07:05, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
- Fixed it with this edit. The maxvals param was in the wrong location. -- WOSlinker (talk) 07:56, 30 March 2019 (UTC)talk-esünkre
Dealing with tall images
Seems like the easiest way would be to add a height constraint by changing:
size = size .. "px";
to
size = size.."x"..size.."px";
Then the actual size shown would be the largest that fits inside a size * size square (or at least, roughly so). ―cobaltcigs 11:44, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

Broken title parameter in frameless mode if it includes CSS
If the title parameter includes CSS (e.g., via the {{legend}} template), then it displays the plain-text CSS rules into the map tooltip and the image description in the image popup (i.e., the Lightbox-style image mode that pops up after clicking on the image). This is strange considering invoking the image using the [[File:]] syntax directly (in the default mode) doesn't seem to have this issue, but using it in the frameless mode does:
[[File:Individual Taxation Systems.svg|left|thumb|300px|Systems of taxation on personal income {{legend|#00FF00|No income tax on individuals}} {{legend|#0080FF|Territorial}} {{legend|#000080|Residence-based}} {{legend|#FF00FF|Citizenship-based}}]]:
[[File:Individual Taxation Systems.svg|left|frameless|thumb|300px|Systems of taxation on personal income {{legend|#00FF00|No income tax on individuals}} {{legend|#0080FF|Territorial}} {{legend|#000080|Residence-based}} {{legend|#FF00FF|Citizenship-based}}]]:
{{#invoke:InfoboxImage|InfoboxImage|image=Individual Taxation Systems.svg|size=300px|upright=1.15|alt=Text|title=Systems of taxation on personal income {{legend|#00FF00|No income tax on individuals}} {{legend|#0080FF|Territorial}} {{legend|#000080|Residence-based}} {{legend|#FF00FF|Citizenship-based}}}}:

framelessdoes not have a caption. See Wikipedia:Extended image syntax#Alt text and caption. The parameter is used for the link title instead. A link title is displayed as plain text. Module:InfoboxImage could examinetitleand omit using it as link title if it doesn't look like plain text. A tracking category could be added instead. PrimeHunter (talk) 11:41, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
