#Mediawiki image full#

The zoomed image is initially just the preview image scaled up by the browser, but the script loads an image at the correct zoomed size from the server in the background, and once that truly zoomed image has arrived, it replaces the browser's upscaled image.

By default, this zoom is activated when the full image size is eight times larger than the preview, but this can be configured by the user to their liking. If the full image is much larger than the preview image, the script provides a floating zoom to make it easier to position the new rectangle. When the note text is saved from that editor, a new note will be placed onto the preview image. If the resulting rectangle has non-zero width and height, the note editor will pop up. The user can now draw a new rectangle (shown in red) onto the preview image by clicking within the image, dragging the mouse cursor, and then releasing the mouse cursor. The preview image gets a green border, and the rectangles of all existing notes are shown. When the 'Add a note' button is clicked, the script enters definition mode.

When the mouse pointer is moved over the rectangles, the corresponding notes are shown. When the mouse pointer is moved onto the image, the rectangles are shown. Text below the image indicates the presence of annotations, and there's a button to add new notes. Initial display: rectangles are invisible because the mouse pointer is outside the image. While the popup is visible, its rectangle will be highlighted. This popup is hidden again when the mouse leaves the area of the rectangle combined with the area of the popup. If the yellow rectangles are visible, the note text will appear in a small popup when the user moves the mouse cursor over such a rectangle. These yellow rectangles are only shown if the user moves the mouse cursor over the preview image, otherwise they're hidden.

The note is supposed to explain some feature in the image at the location of that rectangle. The button is only present if Ajax is enabled.Īn annotation is shown on the preview image as a yellow rectangle. If the image already has annotations, it also shows a message indicating such. On image description pages, the script adds a button 'Add a note' below the preview image. Use of links to Commons categories, Commons galleries, or Wikipedia articles is encouraged. The content of a note should be relevant to the region of the image outlined by its box and as with other descriptions, 'neutrality of description should be aimed at wherever possible' (see COM:NPOV). Of course one can find many exceptions from this general rule. For example: flags, coats of arms, computer icons, single person portraits, etc. The type of images that likely will not be improved by notes are simple images lacking enough detail to need notes. In general, images that can benefit most from annotations are busy images like: group portraits, panoramas, aerial photographs, satellite images, maps and diagrams. A description of the image as a whole is better placed on the image description page directly (click the 'edit' link at the top of the page to do so). Image annotations in general should highlight features, details, or points of interest within an image. See Commons:Using ImageAnnotator guidelines. Other users can edit image notes only within their own user space, such as on their personal image note sandboxes. Please note that here at the commons, image notes are configured such that only autoconfirmed users can modify (edit/add/delete) image notes. Just click the button below, and then save the page you're being taken to. If you want to make test edits using this feature but don't want to do so on live pages, you can create here a personal 'sandbox' page in your user space where you can play around as you like. 12 Installing ImageAnnotator on another Wiki.9.4 Switching off the prompt for a deletion reason.9.3 Switching off note display on image uses.
