Category talk:An Experienced Zailor:

From Fallen London Wiki (Staging)

This category shows several stories, just 2 of them show up with images. The whole thing is not mediawiki standard and seems to be an extension.

  • How is it working?
  • What is wanted? All stories show up with text or with images?
As for the "how", I found this information: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Kirkburn/How_images_are_picked_to_represent_articles
It seems like the exceptionally large image on these two pages causes them to qualify (unlike basically everything else on the wiki, which is either smaller than 130/200px or used more than 10 times across the entire wiki.
So to get rid of the image (which seems a lot easier than making all the images show up everywhere), scaling down the image in the related articles might work. I tried it for one page, but couldn't get the category to refresh manually.

Apparently, the included size (modified by the page) doesn't matter: what counts is the uploaded file dimensions, which only in a few cases would fit above criteria. The limit of 10 or fewer uses can be configured per wiki from what I gather, but the dimensions seem to be hard-coded and not configurable, so there's little hope of using pretty images for much easier navigation I'm afraid. Shame.
If somebody else would like to check back with wikia stuff and see if they can lift or alter these restrictions on request, I'd very much appreciate that.
