<media />
tag
In the 0.3 version, the <media />
tag was introduced in favor of <image />
, which still works (see Aliases).
It allows users to embed images, videos, and audio files in the infobox, in the same way as <image />
tag does in the original version.

User-facing differences from the original version
- It's based on Wikia/app@b9fcbe5d6db928e318d64ad0568ec2d09a3f406e. There may be some features introduced in the original version at a later date which are absent here.
- Europa theme was removed.
.pi-theme-default
class is applied instead of.pi-theme-wikia
to the infobox, when no theme is specified.
- When a
<gallery>
tag is passed to the infobox with images without captions, file name is used instead of not showing the image.
- When embedding a video in the infobox additional class
.pi-video
is added to the<figure>
tag.
- Videos use
<video>
tags instead of showing video in a modal after clicking a thumbnail.
.pi-image
class is no longer present in the<figure>
tag with a video, instead.pi-media
class is applied to all media elements.
.pi-image-collection
classes were changed to.pi-media-collection
.
accent-color-*
attributes allow more color formats.
- More HTML tags are allowed in captions.
- Mobile skin doesn't get separate styling.
