#Can you set what image shows up as the embed image in an article link

Currently I have an article with an infobox that has tabbers for multiple images of their appearances across different games. I would like to set that article so that it displays a certain image whenever I send the link via discord or etc, because atm it's displaying the image in the second tabber which is a huge spoiler, and I'd like for it to display the first image. How can I do that?

not a true solution but I thought I'd let you know, you can wrap links in < & > tags, such as <google.com> to prevent any sort of embed preview popping up within discord. so when linking to it for now, you could use that method to prevent the embed entirely.
again not a true solution but just thought it might help you for the moment 🤔

/auth

#

Well last time I tried the /auth command

#

It didn't really work out

ripe atlas
#

yeah like I said, try another channel for it, like general? also make sure you have dms enabled I guess

supple blaze
#

I did and it doesn't work uh

#

How about I just dm you?

Yes

and according to this, you can exclude and image from the page by adding this class to it [[File:Example.png|class=notpageimage]]
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PageImages#Can_I_exclude_certain_page_images?

Extension:PageImages

The PageImages extension collects information about images used on a page.
Its aim is to return the single most appropriate thumbnail associated with an article.
PageImages also provides OpenGraph protocol metadata for articles on the wiki for 3rd parties like Facebook to extract.

is it related to this part ?

I'm not sure what it means by link, like, literally any link?? could u hypothetically just delete a link in the page and then add it back and that will force the update ...? or is this not what that means haha

it's also strange to me there isn't a class to identify a desired page image, only a way to exclude ...?
it seems tedious to exclude basically all images except a desired one, but I don't see a way to select a desired one from that help page ... hm

you could try the MediaWiki:Pageimages-denylist method

I may have typed something wrongly

I'm not sure if individual images in galleries can even have a class.. do you know @foggy latch?

#

Same result

#

#

In the page

by link do you mean like

#

Any random link or

ripe atlas
#

yeah

#

might need to do it again to update it

supple blaze
#

Works!

#

Check on your end too

ripe atlas
#

nice, the page info shows the first image now

supple blaze
#

Thanks for your help

#

Kind of stupid that we need to insert random links for this to update but oh well

ripe atlas
#

yeah, it's not very user friendly
