Parameters

Calculating "image_upright"

The |image_upright= parameter, and |image2_upright= and |logo_upright= where applicable, are provided so as to facilitate the use of scalable images in this infobox, in accordance with the instructions at WP:IMAGESIZE, which advises against the use of "px" (for example: thumb|300px), as this forces a fixed image width.

Scalable images respect the user's base preference, which may have been selected for that user's particular devices. Module:InfoboxImage, which is used in this infobox, accommodates the use of scaling. However, setting the appropriate scale is slightly more complex than setting a raw "px" value. This guide provides a quick conversion table to make the process of setting a scale easier. It is based on a default thumbnail setting of 220px.

170px → upright=0.75
180px → upright=0.8
190px → upright=0.85
200px → upright=0.9
210px → upright=0.95
220px → upright=1
230px → upright=1.05
240px → upright=1.1
250px → upright=1.15
260px → upright=1.2
270px → upright=1.23
280px → upright=1.25
290px → upright=1.3
300px → upright=1.35
