Previously I used <img> tag to resize the images. Example: <img src="https://imgbox.com/images/imgbox_large.png" height="200" width="300">
Since it is depreciated in Mediawiki now, we need an extension or parser function to resize external images.
Hundreds of images are broken now. Please consider creating one. Thank you.
This should have been broken since last year when the configuration was changed to disallow the img tag, which AFAIK, has been deprecated by upstream. Is there any reason you simply can't use Wikitext?
I'm not aware of the alternatives. I need to use <img> code to resize the displayed images. I believe resize could be done if the image is hosted locally.
How could I resize an external image in wikitext? Thank you.
<img> code has been used in our wiki site. We need to find an alternative to fix all those broken codes.
I understand. The configuration change could be reverted on your wiki for now but that is not a long term solution. How much is the img tag used on your wiki? If a lot, it is possible to provide a parser function for this.
Is the change in effect now? The <img> tag is still broken.
Quite a lot. Over hundreds I guess. I believe there is no easy way to replace them after a parser function is available. I have to fix one by one. It will be a nightmare. >__<
Is there any reason why <img> tag has to be disabled?
Currently the website has to be in the whitelist before you can use <img> tag to show those images. It will be safe to use otherwise you won't whitelist it in the first place. <img> tag shouldn't create extra security risks.
Thank you.
The decision came from upstream mediawiki due to incompatibility with the future mediawiki parser, it had nothing to do with security.
Unfortunately due to Miraheze will not be enabling the configuration again, due to the upstream decision to remove this, there is not much we can do, if R4356th wants to create an extension for it that's fine but not really a reason to keep this task open if it's blocked on that though. Apologies for the inconvenience this caused.
The task is updated. We request an extension/parser function to resize external images, so we could fix hundreds of broken images. Thank you.
Hello. Unfortunately this is also not necessarily feasible for Miraheze to implement ourself. It would be readding a former core feature through MirahezeMagic, which is something that would be quite difficult to achieve as the original functions from the MediaWiki parser that helped originally make this parser function are also being removed. I do apologise for the inconvenience this undoubtedly will cause, but at this point not much Miraheze can do ourselves. I'm not opposed to eventually making a new extension for this and reviewing it for deployment on Miraheze, but not a Miraheze-made and maintained extension at this point.
