Undocumented: muted and loop options for videos; others?

[https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/services/parsoid/+/816208/1 A couple of years ago], the loop and muted keywords were added to codebase. Examples to the right.

These are not documented. Which makes me wonder, if there are other important undocumented options...

Should I go ahead and add these to the page?

::{{ping|TheDJ}} ah sorry I missed your reply. I mean to suggest they should be documented on this page. --Nanite (talk) 22:56, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Displaying groups of images

Why does this page not mention templates like {{t|Photo montage}} and {{t|multiple image}}? Jarble (talk) 15:55, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

:Because you don't use the extended image syntax with them. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 15:58, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

:Because they are not part of the official syntax. They are just various templates with modifications on top of the syntax. There are several hundreds of templates to 'do things' with images, listing them all isn't really feasible. —TheDJ (talkcontribs) 16:03, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Specifying image dimensions for OpenGraph metadata

The article on Kat Abughazaleh has an image, a portrait photo of the subject that a contributor cropped from a larger photo, in the infobox. When social media sites extract metadata from that page via OpenGraph and prefer a landscape-oriented image ([https://bsky.app/profile/spm1961.bsky.social/post/3lolwbe7qbc2m example]), the default dimensions/crop are sometimes pretty suboptimal, displaying the person's nose and mouth but truncating the eyes.

Off the top of my head, I can imagine a few ways of fixing this:

  1. Include two images on the page; use class=pageimage and class=notpageimage to override the Page Images selection criteria so that one goes into the social media preview and the other is actually displayed to those who visit the page
  2. replace the current image with the prior uncropped image, use {{CSS image crop}} or {{Annotated image}} to crop it appropriately for portrait display in the infobox, so that the re-cropping by OpenGraph has more to work with

I welcome advice! Sumana Harihareswara 15:24, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
