For example, I have a 1920x1080px image of which I want to request a 400px version. [[File:Wikipedia_Puzzle_Globe.jpg|right|400px|middle]] works just fine. But then if I want a caption and a frame, using [[File:Wikipedia_Puzzle_Globe.jpg|frame|right|400px|middle|The Wikipedia globe]] returns a frame and a caption, but the image is 1920x1080px and not 400px wide. -- I don't know how far back this bug exists, but it is certainly broken on the 1.21wmf5 version on donate.wm.o as of 2012/12/06.
Umm, I think this is intentional and goes right back to the beginning of MediaWiki - but I'm not sure about that. [Although I've never understood why] Why do you want a frame instead of a thumb?
Well, the intent of the image is not to get a fullsize version when it is clicked on. I am using this as a placeholder for a video, so onlick a video gets played. I didn't use a thumb because it didn't seem appropriate for the situation and the documentation on mw:Help:Images seemed to imply that what I was doing was perfectly fine. If that's not the case, we should make that explicit in the documentation. Do you have any idea who would know why this was done?
So, I am blind. The following is part of the documentation: * An image with frame always ignores the size specification, the original image will be reduced if it exceeds the maximum size defined in user preferences. I guess I still want to know why, but clearly it is not a bug.
