We should use lead images on layouts > 500px width IF only the image is landscape. we shouldn't use lead images otherwise.

this is a stop-gap solution till I work on solid, good looking, edge case proof layouts for mobile-on-desktop as part of my pet project.

does a general solution to ignore banner if image width < 2 *(image height) look acceptable?

@Sumit yes. 1.5 is a usual conversion factor we use for landscape and portrait. width < 1.5 * height.

thanks @Sumit

@Jdlrobson: To clarify, would you like to mentor this in Google-Code-In-2016 (as you added that tag)? Or maybe @Nirzar (see info)? :)

Imported as https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/tasks/6225877616558080/

I'll be mentoring this one.

I will work to fix it in the next 2 days as a Google Code-in student. As far as I understood the task is to find the corresponding code section and add a check if the image is not landscape, right?

Hi @divadsn - to be more specific any images where the width of the image is less than 1.5 * height.
width:200px, height: 200px would not be allowed (200 < 1.5 * 200)
This should only apply to images generated automatically.
{{PAGEBANNER:SmallImage}} would still work as the editor has specifically overriden the default.

Hopefully the extension page will be of some use :) https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikidataPageBanner

@Jdlrobson Thank you for the clarification, now I will setup my dev environment. One question before I start, will vagrant run fine on a old laptop with 4 GB RAM and Ubuntu 16.10 64-bit installation?

@divadsn it should be fine but feel free to ask on #wikimedia-dev or #mediawiki irc in case of issue.

Vagrant should be fine. Note that you may need to manually setup WikidataPageBanner (see T152036)

@divadsn I go by the nick "codezee" on #mediawiki and #wikimedia-mobile on irc. You can ping for help if facing difficulty...

@Jdlrobson what do you mean with this comment here? How should I avoid sending the image to the template when we don't know about the image aspect ratio at that point?

Whoops.. I see the patch from Thiemo uses empty so I think this is no longer needed. Let me know if I've got that wrong..

Thanks for all the patches! Please keep contributing!! :D
