Undocumented: muted and loop options for videos; others?
A couple of years ago, the  and   keywords were added to codebase. Examples to the right.

These are not documented. Which makes me wonder, if there are other important undocumented options...

Should I go ahead and add these to the page? --Nanite (talk) 17:15, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Quote marks around code examples
Is there any reason why long sections of this have quote marks around the code examples? This seems strange and potentially confusing formatting, with the risk that people will think they have to type the quote marks, besides being redundant and distracting.

Surely part of the point of using  style is that the text can be shown exactly as entered, without needing punctuation?

Edit: OK, I see that one user unilaterally put them in. Unfortunately, it looks as though there are also now places where  was taken out of code style altogether, so the typography doesn't match the opening explanation of how it's used. Musiconeologist (talk) 23:09, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Update: I think I've now repaired the Brief syntax section, at least. I wanted to read up about the syntax and was finding the quote marks and changed formatting impossibly distracting.I didn't simply revert the edits that added them, as it looked a bit too risky a process that might lose good edits as well.

Displaying groups of images
Why does this page not mention templates like Photo montage and multiple image? Jarble (talk) 15:55, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Because you don't use the extended image syntax with them. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 15:58, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Because they are not part of the official syntax. They are just various templates with modifications on top of the syntax. There are several hundreds of templates to 'do things' with images, listing them all isn't really feasible. —Th e DJ (talk • contribs) 16:03, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
