Template talk:Main page image

Protected edit request on 22 October 2021
Update from sandbox: Special:Diff/1051326333. This swaps out the nested template approach for a direct call to. The reason for this is both general code simplification/modernization, and to avoid spreading cascade-protection out to templates that would not otherwise be protected. (In particular, the second reason is why the equivalent replace is not used.) This has been tested in the testcases page; the original tests were adequate to test this feature, but I have updated them to use Template:Test cases which verifies that there is no change at all to output for the tested inputs.

 * Update: please instead copy Special:Permalink/1052352524 to Template:Main page image, and also copy Special:Permalink/1052354348 to Template:Main page image/DYK. This includes the edit request above, and also fulfils the feature request below. User:GKFXtalk 18:19, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Thumbtime
I'm submitting a DYK nomination with a video, and I'd like to use the thumbtime parameter to give it a better image. Doing that in a hacky way seems to affect the size, though. results in the smaller image at right, compared to the normal-sized one beside it. I'm not sure why that's happening, but could a thumbtime parameter be added to (hopefully) resolve it? Cheers, &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 17:44, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Done in sandbox and tested at testcases page. Please could an administrator copy both changes to the main templates? User:GKFXtalk 18:15, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Lua errors
Please can you make it fail gracefully when the image parameter is blank. I know it is not supposed to be used without an image specified but sometimes a bot comes along and removes the image. See Template:Did you know nominations/Fredericka Martin. Thanks &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:56, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Dark mode fixes
Implement change in sandbox, which explicitly defines text color with a CSS variable to support dark mode. Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 22:11, 20 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Ah, not a color variable. Didn't notice the edit made just after mine. Seems to work anyway. Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 22:13, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
 * So you don't need a change or you do? — xaosflux  Talk 12:37, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @Xaosflux A change is definitely needed here since the current situation is suboptimal (the image caption is rendered as black text on a black background). Please sync Template:Main page image/sandbox to Template:Main page image. Thanks. Sohom ( talk ) 13:08, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
