Thread:Project:Support desk/Hover state on GIF animations

Hello,

I've been re-directed here from Bugzilla (Bug 59217).

I have noticed on that the .Gif is in a constant state of Animation. This is highly distracting when trying to read the article and it seems inefficient and unnecessary.

I was wondering if there was a way to implement an active state only when the .Gif is hovered over with someone's pointer. I thought, and have been told, it is possible with CSS.

I am looking specifically to see if it is possible for this to be done for individual articles. I have three key questions really; Would the CSS be external, or could it be written inline or embedded? What would the markup actually be? Also, do i need wiki-wide consensus on the matter or would specific article talk-page consensus be enough to allow the implementation of this CSS?

Thanks.
