Any Wikipedia engineers here? Being linked, on desktop, to this file represents an exercise in futility. I want to read the full article we were linked to. My click targets, in order: 'x' - 'x' closes things. Can I close this modal to see the full page? No, it closes and redirects back to this page on HN. 'more details'? No, it brings me to a details page about the graph image. Cool, it's used on some other pages. Useless as a reader. 'black space' around the image? Not a clickable target, why would I click there? Can I zoom in? No, the image auto-resizes but the image viewer chrome zooms in — making the image smaller?? Am I just a bad Wikipedia user?

For me, the X closed the lightbox and left me looking at the 'Supercomputer' article. This is in desktop Firefox.
