I like it, for thumbnail galleries, but do not like the fact that it overrides type="slideshow".

Edit: I do not like the cropping, at all, so I will not be using this.

It does not appear to work inside a tabber on any tab but the first.

Unfortunately, clicking on an image still brings up the incredibly slow lightbox. The mobile lightbox is much more responsive, and features the ability to switch between thumbnails and slideshow. I encourage everyone to add ?useskin=wikiamobile to the end of the page URL and check it out.


 * Navigation galleries — defined as galleries with the link= parameter set on at least one image — will not have the new style applied.

Thank you for finally telling us what this automated addition is for. Since I didn't get a response last time I asked, I'll ask again: Since you are automatically making this change and assigning the change to the last-editing user without their consent, does that mean that making other compulsory changes - such as spellcheck - without the user giving consent is also permitted?

And I'm surprised that no-one has asked yet: Will this change eventually be mandatory?
