If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.
Well, with the new move, figured I would finally put this up!
Across online wikis, enlarging images is a common practice designed to help editors and visitors alike see the images used throughout pages. Now that we are no longer bound to a certain size and shape to images, and since our transfer off FANDOM, it makes sense to enable editors to resize images in articles, especially given how small thumbnail images come across on this new site without any work. This also allows us to more easily see what is being depicted. It is perfectly fine with leaving image size up to the editor of the page for what works best. The alternative is keeping it so small you can't see it at all. Editoronthewiki ☎ 21:35, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
Example
- Main article: Luminosity discharger
Current policy
Although larger dischargers had actually appeared on Daleks throughout pre-Last Great Time War conflicts on certain occasions, (PROSE: Prisoner of the Daleks) the smaller luminosity design ultimately remained the primary design on casings across pre-War Dalek history. (TV: The Daleks, et. al) However, during the lead up to the War, the larger discharger model became more common place as part of Type VIII casing. (AUDIO: Ascension, Paradox of the Daleks et. al) During the Last Great Time War and beyond, including the New Dalek Paradigm, the large luminosity dischargers remained the common design for all Daleks. (TV: Dalek, Victory of the Daleks)
Ability to enlarge image
