'image size' is deprecated in info boxes (as generally for images) because it overrides the reader's default preferences and is thus a problem with accessibility. For example, if a reader with poor vision sets their display to 200%, and we size an image to 150% to show greater detail, the reader will see it at 75% the size of an unadjusted image, so trying to make an image larger can actually make it smaller and more difficult to see. The solution is to use the 'upright' parameter, which uses the reader's preference as the default. Setting that to 1.5 will increase an image's size to 150% for everyone. However, we probably shouldn't be individually resizing very many images in the infobox (unless maybe they have an odd shape; e.g. maybe Perdita (moon)), and instead choose a standard size here for consistency.
(The weird parameter name "upright" is due to its history. It was originally a quick way to set 'upright' (portrait) images to 75% of the default width of a landscape image, so it wouldn't be oversized, which is why setting image_scale=yes reduces it to 75%. The param was later extended to relative rescaling of any size. The unintuitive name might be why people don't use it much; it took me years to realize what it was.)
There are lot of template errors generated for deprecated 'image size' (e.g. asteroids with the asteroid number used for the image size!), which I'll be going through with JWB. Most are historical detritus that should be cleaned out anyway (e.g. from years ago when all imgs were individually set to 250 px rather than using a common infobox default).
Note that AFAIK small images will not be embiggened past their actual size. We've been reducing them to their original size in pixels; that's no longer necessary.
The default size should now be encoded as "upright = 1.3". We can adjust that here if e.g. a slightly larger size would be better for this template. (Most of the resized imgs were set at 250 to 265 px, 10%-15% larger than the WP default of 225 px; a few orbital diagrams of asteroids and the photo of 243 Ida were set to 300 px, equivalent to image_scale=1.33.) On my machine, the pics at Earth, Jupiter and HD 81040 b, for example, are just under the width of the infobox at image_scale=1.5 and so IMO look best at that size, but I don't know how that would translate to other readers. — kwami ( talk) 19:49, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
GM is typically known to higher precision than G or M, and is often encountered as such in formulae, so it's useful for more precise calculations. I wanted to add it for Earth, but it seems we need to discuss this. So, how about it? Is it too much detail for Wikipedia? If we don't allow it here, I don't see where else it might have a good place, so this data would be missing from Wikipedia, then. Darsie42 ( talk) 12:23, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
I suggest to add wiki-links for mean radius and mean diameter to the infoboxes. Renerpho ( talk) 23:37, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
