User blog comment:Sarah Manley/Followed pages - a new way to stay up-to-date on your favorite wiki pages/@comment-134861-20100510004128

"Regarding lightboxes: remember that as an advanced editor, you are not the main type of person that visits a wiki. When most people come to a wiki they want to see the images bigger, not the weird image details page. That being said, we will consider adding a preference, but no promises. "

Actually, first time I ever saw wikipedia, I wanted to save the pictures to my PC. The lightboxes seem to interfere with that, since it's harder to get to the original resolution of the image.

"Bad. Special:Following only allows the user to remove followed pages. "

My wiki (Kingdom Hearts) doesn't even allow this to work. I clicked on the x, it reloaded the page, and the page was still there on my followed list. I had to actually track down the page and unclick the "following this page" there.
