The core thumbnail styles without any modification look like this: {F34463272} This doesn't look every modern, and it is evident that every skin overrides this. We should look at all skins and simplify the stylesheet to reflect a sensible default state of all of them, rather than rely on skins providing their own CSS overrides. At minimum we should drop the magnify icon, border, background. # Goals [] Skins should have little reason to load the styles and override certain rules by specificity [] We should revisit Minerva providing its own thumbnail styles and decide whether all skins are required to obey the stylistic rules of https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images#Rendering_a_single_image (see T275201 for more context)
