Table
edit@BushelCandle: Hey, wondering how a table with clearly labeled parameters are more difficult to "maintain" than one without? Skjoldbro (talk) 15:58, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
- Because the table you changed to, Template:Officeholder table, introduces an additional layer of complexity for new editors without any corresponding benefits that I can discern. (It would be different if you were the first one to introduce a table but the table had been perfectly adequate for many months before you changed it.)
- More importantly, as far as I can tell, there is no provision for using relative image sizes in this template - and that alone is reason to deprecate its use: WP:IMGDD states "Don't set fixed image sizes".
- Also, and as you yourself already realize, using that template is antagonistic towards the visually impaired - not least because it makes no provision for alt image text. --BushelCandle (talk) 16:10, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
- Mmmm, although you haven't responded to what I wrote above, I now see that
you haveUser:Sundostund has since made a policy-flouting reversion (without any explanatory edit summary), Skjoldbro. - Let me try again to give
youguidance: - Our policy at WP:IMGSIZE states unequivocally
- "Except with very good reason, do not use
px... which forces a fixed image width. In most casesupright=scaling factorshould be used, thereby respecting the user's base preference (which may have been selected for that user's particular devices)." - Consequently I intend to revert
yourthe policy-busting change to using fixed image sizing...--BushelCandle (talk) 10:01, 24 June 2019 (UTC)- @BushelCandle: Cool, but next time have an extra look at the username. Skjoldbro (talk) 10:05, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
- I don't understand what you mean. I did take a quick look at your user page at User:Skjoldbro and saw that you had created many templates - is that what you meant?--BushelCandle (talk) 10:10, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

- My apologies! (I've amended my comments above appropriately)...--BushelCandle (talk) 11:38, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
