Table

@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)Reply

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)Reply
Mmmm, although you haven't responded to what I wrote above, I now see that you have User:Sundostund has since made a policy-flouting reversion (without any explanatory edit summary), Skjoldbro.
Let me try again to give you guidance:
Our policy at WP:IMGSIZE states unequivocally
"Except with very good reason, do not use px ... which forces a fixed image width. In most cases upright=scaling factor should 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 your the policy-busting change to using fixed image sizing...--BushelCandle (talk) 10:01, 24 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
@BushelCandle: Cool, but next time have an extra look at the username. Skjoldbro (talk) 10:05, 24 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
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)Reply
@BushelCandle: The most recent edit was made by User:Sundostund, not me. Skjoldbro (talk) 10:12, 24 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
My apologies! (I've amended my comments above appropriately)...--BushelCandle (talk) 11:38, 24 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
