This is how I use the fullscreen expandable images:
1: Go to a page.
2: Click on an image.
3: Close the image.
4: Click the browser back button.
I am now at the image again. This is surprising and I cannot seem to learn this.

- oblio 6y agoSetting? Where?

- oblio 6y agoYou need to be logged in for that, though :-(
- daniel2x 6y agoIn the "Media Viewer" there is a gear on the right hand side. You can click it and choose "Disable Media Viewer"
- petters 6y agoUpdate: This is no longer the case. I can not reproduce this any more. Great!
- fiblye 6y agoThe worst part is when you eventually make it back, it loses your position on the page. They made this change years ago and it still drives me nuts.
- zzo38computer 6y agoI disable all sorts of features on Wikipedia (and MediaWiki sites in general; why can't it support a cookie to automatically change these settings, so that you (the end user) can copy your preferences between MediaWiki instances merely by copying a cookie?), and would want to disable some others as well, such as the custom widgets and most animations. I do want some of the features that use JavaScript, but not all of them. The browser should have a better way for the user to adjust individual scripts.
