== Other size parameters cause upright to be ignored ==

With the current implementation of this module, the upright parameter is ignored if the maxsize or sizedefault parameters are defined. This appears to be because image syntax ignores upright if a size in pixels is defined. It means that if either of those parameters are used in an infobox template (see {{tl|Infobox bridge}} for example), then it's not possible to use the upright parameter at all in articles, which is not the intended behavior.

I don't have the Lua skills to do so, but I think the module should be rewritten so that a pixel size is not passed if the upright parameter is used and the size parameter is not. [[User:Pi.1415926535|Pi.1415926535]] ([[User talk:Pi.1415926535|talk]]) 03:27, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

:I think there are two separate cases to consider:
:# Both {{para|upright}} and either {{para|maxsize}} or {{para|sizedefault}} are specified
:# Both {{para|upright}} and {{para|size}} are specified
:In the first case, I think the current module behavior is likely incorrect -- the caller specified a size via {{para|upright}} and it's being handled as if no size was specified. The second case is less clear, because conflicting sizes are being provided. I'm reluctant to change the current behavior for the second case, because there may be unintended consequences to the 5M articles that use this module.
:Of course, fixing the incorrect behavior also may have unintended consequences, also, so we should be careful. For example, the proposed behavior now allows people to set absurd values to {{para|upright}} and there is no check or limit.
:I've modified [[Module:InfoboxImage/sandbox|the sandbox]] to fix the first issue, and updated [[Module:InfoboxImage/testcases|the tests]] to exercise the new code. {{Pinging|WOSlinker}} to see if they have any comments on the change: other editors are also welcome to comment. — [[User:Hike395|hike395]] ([[User talk:Hike395|talk]]) 09:17, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
::Later: I added some logic to ensure that {{para|upright}} doesn't produce an image larger than {{para|maxsize}}, assuming the default user preference. This fixes one potential issue.

:::@[[User:Hike395|Hike395]]: Thanks for looking into this! Just to clarify - will this still allow an image scaled with upright to be larger than maxsize if the user preference is set to a larger-than-default value?

::::Yes: if upright is specified, then maxsize will scale with the user's default image size. So if maxsize=300, and the user's preferred thumbnail size is set to 300px, then the output image will be limited to be less than 300*300/220 = 409px for that user.

===Edit request===
{{FPER|answered=yes}}
Please copy [[Module:InfoboxImage/sandbox]] to [[Module:InfoboxImage]]

This is a change in handling the case where {{para|upright}} and either {{para|maxsize}} or {{para|sizedefault}} is specified. In this case, the sandbox version obeys {{para|upright}}, but if it exceeds <code>maxsize/220</code>, then it is set to <code>maxsize/220</code>. The current behavior is to ignore {{para|upright}} when either {{para|maxsize}} or {{para|sizedefault}} is specified, which is incorrect.

This edit does not change any behavior if {{para|upright}} is not specified. Also, if {{para|size}} and {{para|upright}} are both specified, the behavior remains unchanged: {{para|size}} is obeyed in that case.
:Are you sure that this description is correct? On the testcases page, I am seeing the Mustela image with <syntaxhighlight>upright=1.5|sizedefault=272|maxsize=300</syntaxhighlight>. The live module renders the image at 1.5x my thumbnail size. The sandbox image is rendered at 272px. This seems to be the opposite of the description above, if I am reading it correctly. It also seems to be a fix that helps the module to match normal image rendering (px is preferred over upright). Is this what you want? – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 17:01, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
::You may be interpreting the unit tests backward? Here are the results when main and sandbox are called with the case that you are highlighting:

:::Here, the main module is generating a pic with size=272px, while the sandbox module is generating a pic with upright=1 (rendered at your preferred size). So the logic is correct.

== Default maxsize to 250px ==

I’ve recently been coming across a lot of Infoboxes with substatially large images in their infoboxes. 300-400px in size. Can we modify this module to default to a {{code|maxsize}} of 250px? If for some reason a particular infobox wants to override that, that’s another matter, but that way we can at least cut down on the number of large images? If there is no objection to this change, I’m happy to write the code in the sandbox and do a formal edit request. '''[[User:Zackmann08|<span style="color:#00ced1">Zack</span><span style="color:#007F94">mann</span>]]''' (<sup>[[User_talk:Zackmann08|Talk to me]]</sup>/<sub>[[Special:Contributions/Zackmann08|<span style="color:orange;">What I been doing</span>]]</sub>) 07:37, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
:A few comments:
:#I would be extremely cautious about setting defaults in this template. It's used on 5M pages and in system messages. The probability of unintended consequences is high.
:#Looking at [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&limit=500&offset=0&ns10=1&search=insource%3AInfoboxImage+insource%3Asizedefault the usage of {{para|sizedefault}}], I see many templates use {{para|sizedefault|frameless}}. With the current code, such a default will ignore maxsize.
:#Looking at [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&limit=500&offset=0&ns10=1&search=insource%3AInfoboxImage+insource%3Amaxsize the usage of {{para|maxsize}}], many templates set maxsize larger than 250px. The largest ones appear to be 325px. To be conservative, the default maxsize should set to a high value (e.g., 325px). I think, however, it would be safer not to have a default maxsize.

::We should not standardize on a pixel size, per [[MOS:IMGSIZE]] ({{tq|Except with very good reason, a fixed width in pixels (e.g. 17px) should not be specified, because it ignores the user's base width setting.}}). See [[Module_talk:InfoboxImage#Help_with_improving_default_image_sizes|the discussion above]], which proposes to somehow default to the viewer's preferred thumbnail size, and [[Template_talk:Infobox_bridge/Archive_2#Image_and_map_widths|the 2022 discussion that led to the one above]]. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 10:44, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
:::Per {{diff|title=Module:InfoboxImage|diff=prev|oldid=1306324007|label=this recent edit}}, setting {{para|maxsize}} does not standardize on a pixel size. If we do set {{para|maxsize|250}}, then it limits {{para|size}} to 250 and limits {{para|upright}} to 1.136. px is not forced or favored in any way.
:::Also -- I just cleaned up <s>all</s> uses of {{para|sizedefault|frameless}}, so that is no longer a factor in any decision. — [[User:Hike395|hike395]] ([[User talk:Hike395|talk]]) 13:52, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
::::Thanks for both of those. Based on the above discussion, which I had forgotten about because I got so mixed up, it looks like the sizedefault of frameless will override the maxsize as long as size= is not specified. I tested <code>sizedefault=frameless|maxsize=250</code> in my sandbox and got a 300px image, which is the same as my thumbnail preference. If I set <code>sizedefault=frameless|maxsize=250|size=100</code>, I get a 100px image. Based on that, it looks like a <s>sizedefault</s> <ins>maxsize</ins> of 250px would prevent images from getting larger than the editor's preferred thumb size unless size= is specifically set. Caveat: I might not be testing all possible cases. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 14:12, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
:::::To clarify: the behavior with {{para|sizedefault|frameless}} is a bug. Maybe I should fix the bug rather than cleaning up occurrences of {{para|sizedefault|frameless}}, although fixing the bug would add 3 lines of special-purpose code for that case.
:::::To see the correct behavior, if you try <code>maxsize=250</code> you should get 250px, if you try <code>upright=1|maxsize=250</code> you should get 300px, while if you try <code>upright=1.5|maxsize=250</code> you should get 340px (limited by maxsize). — [[User:Hike395|hike395]] ([[User talk:Hike395|talk]]) 14:44, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

{{od|7}} To understand the behavior, see [[#Other size parameters cause upright to be ignored|the discussion above]]. The maximum size (in px) for InfoboxImage when upright is specified is (maxsize/220)*(your thumbnail preference).
:When you set maxsize=200, you are saying that the max upright is 200/220 = 0.909, which is 272px.
:When you set maxsize=250, you are saying that the max upright is 250/220 = 1.136, which is 341px. Upright=1 thus gives 300px for you.
:When you set maxsize=300, you are saying that the max upright is 300/220 = 1.364, which is 409px for you. Upright=1 thus gives 300px, but upright=1.5 gets limited to 1.364 which is 409px.
