Adjustable widths for galleries in slideshow mode
Open, LowPublic

Description

MediaWiki 1.28 implemented a new gallery mode called slideshow which does exactly as its name says. The only problem is that the default width can't be changed. If widths="numberpx" is used, it will override the slideshow mode and will display the images as in a regular gallery, but at the specified size. Attempts to change anything in LocalSettings have been futile. Through this task, I would to request, if possible, adjustable widths for galleries in mode="slideshow".

Event Timeline

Hey. Could I get an answer if this is something that is going to be worked on (and possibly added) in MediaWiki 1.29? I wouldn't like to insist much on it, but it's something that a lot of wikis (at least mine) would dearly make use of. I would appreciate any answer, even if it's a negative one (at least to know what I should expect for the future).

If you (or anyone) feel like providing a patch to add such functionality, you are very welcome to use developer access to submit the proposed code changes as a Git branch directly into Gerrit which makes it easier to review them. If you don't want to set up Git/Gerrit, you can also use the Gerrit Patch Uploader. Thanks :)

I am but a simple mediawiki user. If I were a developer, I would have already tried to work on that functionality, thus this is why I opened a task for it instead.

Duplicate of T129372 which has a patch?

No, that's unrelated. The slideshow is supposed to a responsive block that takes up the entire content area width. Currently, any provided dimensions are ignored in that mode.
