Notes

Calculating "image_upright"

The image_upright parameter, and image2_upright and logo_upright where applicable, is/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
