New uploading file formats

Can you change the whitelist of files? Or is the current situation due to technical limitations that do not allow, for example, sounds to work properly?

For example, we really miss SVG (actually, we found a replacement, but it increases the size of the files) and OGG (func_button). -- THE OWL 13:38, 18 Jun 2024 (UTC)

I don't have the ability to change this. PabloS (talk) 09:21, 18 June 2024 (PDT)

MediaWiki:Common.css

Can you please add the below lines to the CSS? This will allow people to better understand what is clickable and what is not.

.vdc-island-link { position: relative } .vdc-island-link::before { content:""; width: 100%; height: 100%; background-color: rgb(255 255 255 / 3%); opacity: 0; transition: 30ms; pointer-events: none; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0 } .vdc-island-link:hover::before { opacity: 1 } .vdc-island-link:active::before { opacity: .7 }

Could you show me a page (or pages) where .vdc-island-link is used? PabloS (talk) 19:02, 18 June 2024 (PDT)

At the moment, there are no such pages. This is just my idea to improve interaction with interactive blocks and interactive buttons. It is not always clear what you can click on, and such a primitive effect at least a little, but will help in fixing this problem.

From the examples of using the new class I can cite the button in the Valve Technology template and also the buttons on the main page redirecting to the tools documentation. -- THE OWL 6:58, 19 Jun 2024 (UTC)

I've slightly updated the example content and added an effect when the HTML element is clicked. Useful for interactive buttons. --THE OWL 7:58, 19 Jun 2024 (UTC)

Another 'solution' to a problem that isn't real. This is how we arrived at the current situation with the wrecked article programming. The techbro tweaking mentality.

There's very few of these buttons in use (are there any outside the main page?) and they may as well just be rewritten to have links in them that get underlined when hovered upon.

(Not to mention, the cursor literally changes when hovering over them. What's not clear?)

Buttons that change text as shown in the current example, this 'jumpy' effect, is unappealing and again, I'll stress, it's this desperate tweaking/modernisation urges "just because".

(And knowing them, they'll make it look up more and more strings, it'll be a mess again like we have currently...)

You first should show that there's a user case, or better, a consensus formed, that there is an issue to begin with. Cvoxalury (talk) 01:13, 19 June 2024 (PDT)

The example in the link is terrible. You seem to have a consistent problem where all your suggestions are based on what you think looks flashy or flexes your knowledge of html code, instead of providing concise, accessible and clear navigation. Microsoft has figured out a solution for hovering over items decades ago - a background highlight or a slight border.A. Shift (talk) 01:28, 19 June 2024 (PDT)
