[edit] dimensions tag?
How can the image dimensions (width/height) be specified? This infobox, used on reptilian humanoid stretches the current image. -Eερ² (T|C) 10:04, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
- Well, the dimensions are fixed but now I can't get the damn thing to be centered. :/ ∞ΣɛÞ² (τ|c) 15:58, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

- Please leave this as a standard size, it prevent users from putting in images that are too large. If you are worried about a specific image, edit it to give it a white boarder. - perfectblue 17:06, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Add a white border around an image that it smaller than 200px in order to bring it up to 200px. For example, a 100px image with 50px whitespace on either side of it. If you give users the ability to specify the image size you will often have one of two things happening.
- The user will specify an image size that is too large. 250px is typical chosen.
- Novice users will see that the image comes out at a fixed size even without them adding the parameter in and will leave it at that, not realizing that the size that they see is part of their individual user settings not part of Wikipedia itself. Thus meaning that the image may be the correct size as seen by them, but being too big/too small to users with different size settings.
