So if we add server-side rendering, we need a clean way to sandbox it, that works both in standalone installs and via Thumbor, and can be relatively sensibly managed and packaged, and made disableable with a switch-flip.

Roy: it seems to me soft-blocking the /36 would only not have collateral damage if the block message indicated that one can still make an account or log in via IPv4, else people who only use mobile / hotspots won't understan what's going on.

Sj added a comment to T347109: CSS help needed: unbreak multicolumn references (set style in a template that varies w/ the active skin).

I updated the request to be clearer. Right now the following reader use cases see single-column references: 1080px windows, or 1350px @ 120% (main menu open), and 1350px windows, or 1680px windows @ 125% (both menus open). This falls within a sweet spot of common use cases that affects both editors and readers, and is a width range within which two columns @ 25em still seems preferable to single column @ 50-60em for viewing references.

Ouch. This and the lack of public updates about dark mode (with technical discussions explicitly private) feels disconcertingly open-ended. Other than the 150+ people chiming it to say this is important, what sort of research into importance to readers needs doing? How can those who see the need contribute to that research? This does not need to be a big deal; it can be implemented as a [client-side] user option at first if the concern is causing confusion for those who don't expect it, &c.

Thanks both for the explanations. If there are graphs that are hard to convert to V5 and don't get converted, it would still be useful for someone to run a one-time sandboxed render in V2 and use the resulting still images in place of the graphs. [since some were created years ago and no longer have maintainers to come update them by hand].

Looks like it is still 2-3 reqs/s. Is that the target usage rate? A fine metric for a query service is that it is used to its desired load. If underused, it could be made open-auth until this is reached, and then somehow have a conversation with those users re: options for rate limiting or uptime degradation.

Yes, this affects me too. It's not just "between 999px and 1000px" it is scaled up w/ browser zoom. So at 150% zoom it's "b/t 1497px and 1500px".
Any time I resize my browser window past this threshold, at something other than 100% zoom level, I notice this as an outsized flicker.

More generally, pref-changing could be part of a flow state. Switching to a prefs page and not being returned to the page of origin can be frustrating. (I'd love to see stats on how many people fail to complete prefs updates, or to return to the prev page, or just end their session.)

@Jdlrobson the original proposal was a pair of links in the identical place in the sidebar. (possibly with a confirmation popup, but no switching URLs, and the only page refresh would be to load a different skin). When implemented that way it is fast to switch, and clear what just happened and how to switch back. (It's not a novel idea; many products present a "switch back" toggle during a new rollout in this way)

Sj added a comment to T35186: Provide a well-performing API to rotate an image.

Agreed re: just offering 90/180/-90 for under-X-MB files. Raise that to 20MB and you'll cover most good/featured images.

Sj added a comment to T333600: Create modal allowing logged-in users to choose preferred page density (content width).

For color: randomize the button colors, and (if you can manage it) the order in which they are presented.
Try both this and tooltips as different treatments of a sample of the same population (logged-in or logged-out) for better understanding of preferences.
Try this as treatments for a sample of both logged-in and logged-out for contrasting understanding of those two populations.

@Legoktm @Ladsgroup it seems crop and rotate (by 90/180) are such a common use case they should be "on" by default, whether by closer integration of CropTool into the upload wizard or otherwise.

@DLynch that's a very cool viz indeed, thank you for sharing. That can be quite useful on desktop too (see also: how well used the collapse templates are!)
I hope we can get some indentation solution on the roadmap.

Bawolff: Most of our projects are built on external resources we don't control, backed up by web archives we also don't control. The threats you mention are rare events we already cope with on the projects. (and we still manage to let e.g. wikivoyage maps render external layers)

A proxy service for calls to such caches of trusted + curated knowledge makes sense.
That doesn't seem specific to this OWID use case, is there an existing proxy library that could be generalized or extended?
