Description

Okki, a Wikimedia Commons contributor and sysop, noticed we're the only media site not to have implemented a lightbox view.

It gives YouTube, Flickr, Dailymotion as samples.

would like we add on Wikimedia Commons

Key characteristics:

image centered on a gray backround, to allow a good contrast viewing the picture
keyboard navigation, to browse quickly pictures

Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

• bzimport raised the priority of this task from to Medium.Nov 22 2014, 12:26 AM

• bzimport set Reference to bz37478.

This sounds like something that should probably go into an extension

created a labs project for this as requested on labs mailing list

--> "commons-dev" project on labsconsole.wikimedia.org

See [[:mw:Extension:GeeQuBox]] and related ("See also" section)

The Commons community deployed [[Help:Gadget-GallerySlideshow]].

Note this gadget doesn't solve this bug, as the UI usability and quality is very poor.

I think [[mw:Extension:MultimediaViewer]] has every feature listed above, and thus we could close this bug. Any objections?

Ricordisamoa: Thanks for the ping!

No objections, hence assuming that [[mw:Extension:MultimediaViewer]] can cover this. If not, please file specific requests against MultimediaViewer in Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=MediaWiki%20extensions&component=MultimediaViewer
