Remove loading screen
Closed, DeclinedPublicFeature

Description

Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):
I want to be able to see the final image instead of having to wait for it to fully load to see the image. This makes me know when it's loading and the internet works. This could also be a separate option

Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):
Opening a image and seeing a load wrapper
Benefits (why should this be implemented?):It's a lot better than having a blurred loading screen and having to wait for the image to fully load and sometimes my internet is slow so sitting with blurred loading makes it painful, even a percentage bar would help

Hi, which "loading screen" exactly? Which exact software is this about? Please provide sufficient context what this request is about. Thanks! :)

Isn't that blue bar at the bottom the loading bar?

We do not plan to change this.

There are no plans to provide an option to disable this. Please also see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Just_make_it_a_user_preference - thanks.

If you do not want to "wait for an image", then your need to fix your internet connection. That is not Wikimedia's fault.

Stop adding me as a subscriber. Wikemedia does not help It's your fault to I cannot click on the image on a new tab while it's loading second I cannot see the final image actually display it's a complete blur until it's fully loaded unlike a raw image where I can see how fast it's loading as I see the image is actually loading rather than my internet freezing. With a blur I cant tell how fast or if the image is loading or if something is wrong.

Hmm. You could uncheck the "Enable Media Viewer" option under "Appearance" on your Preferences page, in that case.
