Other uses of FI?
do you have a case to make for doing some &#123;{FI}} conversions outside OAW? There are surely lots of very simple uses of it to be found. Levana Taylor (talk) 18:00, 19 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Only inasmuch as I think it's a good idea to not be loading full-sized images. I'm open to large image being improved before wider use. Or even retrofitting the logic to FI (though I suppose you'd have to invent a px size when there isn't one).
 * FI has another problem: the caption has a hard-coded CSS style applied to the captions from MediaWiki:Dynimg.css (e.g. a 94%; font-size), which means a straight-replace could break styling of captions if people have been relying on that styling.
 * IMO, FI is a bit over-engineered, and tries to do so much that it needs a lot of customisation to actually work in some places. This also makes it awkward to replace in the general case. The basic case (image, full width, no captions) should be an easy change, but I hesitate to actively advocate for mass change-over. While large image is still used rarely enough to be flexible, it might make sense to make sure there are no glaring issues with it first. I personally feel that trying to shoehorn too much logic into the template would not be a good idea. Inductiveload— talk/contribs  20:32, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Deletion of orphaned pages
Following a move of an Index, all the pages in the form Page:A Prisoner of the Khalifa.djvu/# (where # is one, two or three digits) are now orphaned. Per discussion at User Talk:Ineuw, these pages can be deleted. Thanks, Beeswaxcandle (talk) 07:46, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Done. Mpaa (talk) 12:15, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Note that you do not necessarily need a bot to do this. If you go to "Page information" in the sidebar, and click "Number of subpages of this page", you'll be led to Special:PrefixIndex. And it accepts a non-existent page, so you can list these pages with Special:PrefixIndex/Page:A Prisoner of the Khalifa.djvu/. This list can be copied into Special:MassDelete (if you have the gadget enabled; and don't worry about the redlink, the page is constructed in JS by the gadget). You'll need to add the "Page:" prefix (search and replace in a text editor, for example), but unless there is a very large number of pages this will likely be both faster and easier than making a bot request. --Xover (talk) 13:35, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Normally, I would have turned the flood flag on and dealt with them myself, but this was a large number of pages and so easier with a bot. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 06:55, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
