How do I make galleries keep a consistent size like Wikipedia does (example) or MemoryAlpha (example). I want the gallery images to always have the same size and the image to automatically adjust to fit in the box.
How is this achieved?

Ah right, you posted in here before. My bad! Good to hear this is now also possible.

Thanks for the reply, but I got an answer to my question almost 4 years ago and it works like a charm ;)

To be honest, this should be hidden by default. Who cares who added an image to a page? If people really want to know they can just look it up.

No, I tried looking at MA's CSS codes. There's something on galleries in there but I'm not that good when it comes to these kinds of codes.

Haha. Yeah I don't like the loss of control over how articles look with fluid layouts. They are insanely stretched out now, makes reading them harder and more annoying in my opinion. There are ways to actually negate this. For example by putting all content inside a div, table or column with a preset width. But then you will always end up with big empty spaces on larger monitors. And you'd have to apply this to all articles separately I think. :(

Be happy that the German version of your wiki still uses the old layout :( But probably not for long.

Hm, I can't seem to get this to work. Maybe its a problem with the image URL. Even if I put in the actual URL of the raw image it just won't show up in the div...
EDIT: Never mind, it worked lol. Thanks guys!

Hey, is is possible to use a background image instead of a color inside a div or other element?
Something like: <div style="background-image: url(something.jpg);">Text</div> doesn't seem to work. Would this require CSS coding? If so: how?

Is it even allowed to block the sidebar ad this way? Because I can no longer see it on your wiki.

Hmmm, I did exactly that the other day, but it didn't work. It works now though! Must have done something wrong before :P Thanks for the help.

I want the same as what you have on your main page. An image that will automatically expand or shrink depending on the size of the browser window. I'm just not sure what to put in the Wikia.css and what to do to make it work on the page.

Leviathan 89 wrote: I also tried a solution to make an image "fluid": on my home page the first image will take all available space next to the home AD and will automatically adapt to the window. The image is in a div with the class "home-portale" and the CSS used is:
.home-portale { margin-right: 310px; } .home-portale img { max-width: 100%; height: auto; }
I found this solution reading this article. This is however a solution for a specific image on a specific page, basically a CSS ad hoc. Tardis' example should be more generic though quite complex.
Hmm, I'm not exactly sure how to apply this (I am still a beginner when it comes to coding). What should the CSS and source code be if I wanted to apply this to images on my main page?

Thanks for your detailed and quick response! Though I might not use this CSS script on my wiki just yet. I figured I could just manually change my template images from 300px to 270px so they will fit in the new, smaller right column for now. I'm not that much of a coding genius I'm afraid either. I barely know how to get divs to work properly. Nevertheless, this is an interesting little way to scale images down and certainly something to remember. Thanks again!

Thanks, I'll drop him a note.

OK :P I just adapted my wiki's Main Page to cope with fluid and still be functional on larger screens. So I'm happy.

I never just said 'I don't like the change'. There are multiple posts on the Community Wiki forum and comments where I explain my reasons. I just thought it would be naive to think Wikia would change their minds. From what I've seen, staff has been pretty final on this.
And when would something 'seriously damage' you wiki anyway? The only argument I've heard so far is: rebuild your wiki. Look at the Dead Space Wiki for example: [[1]]. Good luck making that sort of thing fluid. That site's design is pretty much ruined now.

Iggyvoiz, you don't believe that is an actual option do you? This is a forced update.
