‎<media /> tag

In the 0.3 version, the ‎<media /> tag was introduced in favor of ‎<image />, which still works (see Aliases). It allows users to embed images, videos, and audio files in the infobox, in the same way as ‎<image /> tag does in the original version.

Attributes

  • source - name of the parameter
  • audio - If set to false, it ignores all audio files
  • image - If set to false, it ignores all images
  • video - If set to false, it ignores all videos

Child tags

  • ‎<default>
  • ‎<caption>

Aliases

  • ‎<audio /> - variation of ‎<media /> tag that allows only audio files
  • ‎<image /> - variation of ‎<media /> tag that allows only images and videos (for backward compatibility, can be disabled with video="false")
  • ‎<video /> - variation of ‎<media /> tag that allows only videos

User-facing differences from the original version

  • Europa theme was removed.
  • .pi-theme-default class is applied instead of .pi-theme-wikia to the infobox, when no theme is specified.
  • When a ‎<gallery> tag is passed to the infobox with images without captions, file name is used instead of not showing the image.
  • When embedding a video in the infobox additional class .pi-video is added to the ‎<figure> tag.
  • Videos use ‎<video> tags instead of showing video in a modal after clicking a thumbnail.
  • .pi-image class is no longer present in the ‎<figure> tag with a video, instead .pi-media class is applied to all media elements.
  • .pi-image-collection classes were changed to .pi-media-collection.
  • accent-color-* attributes allow more color formats.
  • More HTML tags are allowed in captions.
  • Mobile skin doesn't get separate styling.
