Hello, I am Rocketslime_1_1 from the Nintendo Wiki. Recently the image viewer on the wiki has changed, it now displays all the images as a kind of slideshow. I assume that is most likely because of the Media-Wiki upgrade. Is there any way to change it back to the way it was before? Rocketslime_1_1 Talk Wall Contribs 01:43,7/19/2012
- Yes, Wikia made changes to the lightbox and those changes can be seen on wikis with 1.19. Changing it back isn't a practical option, sorry. The 888th Avatar (talk) 01:46, July 19, 2012 (UTC)
- Personally I don't dislike the new feature in general, but the slideshow frame seems unnecessarily large when I read through a small window. Kind of annoying indeed. Cafeinlove msg 02:04, July 19, 2012 (UTC)
- Me too, it's also now really confusing how to get to the file page, when you're choosing between "more info", "full size image", or clicking on the title of the file. I also find it less reliable than the old lightbox as it gives you the infinite throbbing of doom much more often--Category:Acer4666 02:15, July 19, 2012 (UTC)
Here's a simple JS fix which you can put in your wikia.js (it would violate the TOU to load it sitewide) to make it go straight to the File: page when you click on an image in oasis:
if (skin == 'oasis') {
$('.image').each(function() {
$(this).attr('href', wgServer + wgArticlePath.replace('$1', 'File:' + encodeURIComponent( $(this).attr('data-image-name') ) ) );
});
if (LightboxLoader.handleClick) {
delete LightboxLoader.handleClick;
}
}

- I was in the middle of several uploads when this was updated... Uploads now take significantly longer time to upload and the view mode is horrendous. I really hope that you guys give us the option to revert back because honestly this is like a horrid facebook style image viewer. I would rather view a single image without the slideshow/dropdown at the bottom/top taking up the image view. Or at least give us an option to how we view the image through our preferences. {{SUBST:User:True Sephiroth/Signature}} 20:25, July 19, 2012 (UTC)
- I was not aware of this thread at the time I wrote my own script for this. Anyways, my version of "kill image lightbox" can be found at User:Mathmagician/killImageLightbox.js, if anybody wants to use it in their personal user scripts. Mathmagician ƒ(♫) 07:32 UTC, Mon, 06 August 2012
