Media Viewer aims to improve the viewing experience for our users.

This new multimedia browser displays images in larger size on Wikipedia and Wikimedia sites, where it is being gradually as the default viewing experience, as described in this release plan.

Media Viewer has been tested extensively on many large wikis around the world, and the feedback collected from thousands of users suggests that this tool is generally useful to them, as outlined in these survey results.

We invite you to test Media Viewer as well: you can learn more in this help page. After you've tried the tool, we invite you to let us know what you think and join the discussion.

Why Media Viewer?
The purpose of this tool is to:
 * Provide a richer multimedia experience, to match user expectations
 * Display images in larger size, on the same page as the thumbnail you click on
 * Reduce confusion when users click on thumbnails (bypass duplicate file info page on Wikipedias)

It aims to serve all users of Wikipedia, Commons and other MediaWiki sites: from casual readers to experienced editors.

Current features include:
 * Show images in larger size when you click on them
 * Modal panel opens up as overlay (on same page where you clicked)
 * Large image appears without clutter, for a more immersive experience
 * Information about the image can be accessed easily
 * Images in a collection can be browsed easily
 * Images can be shown in full-screen mode

Como traballa o visor Media?








Media Viewer offers a variety of features in either 'Lightbox' or 'Full screen' views. To learn more, read this help file.

Visor Lightbox
A 'visión Lightbox' para esta ferramenta inclúe:

A imaxe móstrase en tamaño grande, como unha superposición sobre a páxina onde premeu sobre a miniatura, contra un branco, o fondo lixeiramente traslúcido. Isto fai a imaxe destacar máis e elimina algunhas das confusións visuais típicamente atopadas nunha páxina de texto pesado.
 * Imaxe

Para a primeira edición, estamos ofrecendo estas ferramentas simples:
 * Ferramentas
 * Botón Pechar (vai voltar a visualización do artigo)
 * Botón de pantalla completa (se expande para a súa visualización en pantalla completa)
 * Botón Lightbox (volve á imaxe menor no explorador Lightbox)

We also offer special tools for using images for a variety of purposes:
 * Use/share this file (screenshot)
 * Embed this file (screenshot)
 * Download this file (screenshot)

Here is the information that is shown immediately below the image, in a small meta-data strip (see mockup):
 * Primary Information
 * File name (Zonotrichia atricapilla)
 * Author (e.g. Alejandro Erickson)
 * Source (e.g. Bird Institute)
 * License Info (e.g. CC-BY-SA-2.0) (or link to license info)
 * Chevron icon for opening the metadata panel to reveal more info (see below)

Here is the information that is shown below the fold, once you open the metadata panel (by clicking on the chevron or scrolling):
 * Secondary Information
 * Description
 * Site name and link (e.g. 'Learn more on Wikimedia Commons')
 * Uploader name (e.g. Smallbones)
 * Creation Date (e.g. 12 April, 2012)
 * Location (e.g. place name and/or geotag coordinates, if any)
 * Categories (e.g. Birds of British Columbia, Zonotrichia atricapilla … more> )
 * File usage (e.g. 'This file is being used by 5 other pages. ')
 * Permissions (e.g. special credits or restrictions) (screenshot)
 * More meta-data may be added to this panel over time

Full Screen View
The 'full-screen view' for this tool will show a large image across the entire screen, with minimal information and buttons available on hover.

Esta é a visión que lle permite concentrarse exclusivamente na imaxe, sen outras distraccións. Cando fai clic na icona de pantalla completa, ve a versión maior da imaxe que encaixa dentro da pantalla do usuario. A imaxe é exhibida en toda a pantalla enteira (non só a fiestra do navegador), contra un fondo branco puro que só mostra a imaxe. Neste modo, só ve ​​o nome do ficheiro eo autor/fonte/licenza de preto da imaxe, así como ligazón para Commons.

When will it be released?
Media Viewer 0.2 is being gradually released worldwide. This deployment started with limited tests on a few pilot sites in April 2014, then wider releases in May 2014. Media Viewer is now scheduled to be released on all wikis by mid-June, as described in this release plan.

To prepare for this release, we invite you to test the latest version on this demo page on MediaWiki.org or on your home wiki. If your site has not yet enabled Media Viewer by default, you can enable it as a Beta feature in your preferences), as outlined in the next section. Learn more in this help page.

How can I help?
Can you help test Media Viewer in coming days? You can try the latest version on this demo page on MediaWiki.org, or test earlier versions on your home wiki.

If Media Viewer has not yet been enabled by default on your wiki, you can test it as a Beta Feature: click on the small 'Beta' link next to 'Preferences' in your personal menu. Then check the box next to 'Media Viewer' in the Beta Features section of your user preferences — and click 'Save' (see screenshot). You can turn off any this option anytime, by reversing these steps. Learn more in this help page.

After you've tried Media Viewer, please let us know what you think on this discussion page. If you find any technical bugs, please [//bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=MediaWiki%20extensions&component=MultimediaViewer report them here on Bugzilla].

Tens of thousands of beta testers have now tried Media Viewer around the world. Here is an overview of the feedback they have kindly given us to help improve this tool. Many of their suggestions have been implemented (or are about to), as part of our current release plan.

Note: in this current release, the Media Viewer will only support the most widely used image file formats (e.g.: JPEG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, SVG). In future releases, we plan to add support for more file formats, such as PDF, audio and video files.
