Hello @Info-farmer.

I don't think its possible to target certain characters and apply styles to them using just CSS. We'll need to use JavaScript to add a class around the characters that you want to target and then use that class to apply the necessary CSS. Please take a look at this answer on StackOverflow as an example: https://stackoverflow.com/a/16092091
I think you'll need to build a user script to achieve this.

@Ramesam54: you can use crop image script personally by adding below to s:sa:User:Ramesam54/common.js
mw.loader.load("//kn.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mediawiki:Cropimage.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript");
For sitewide usage ask local admin add gadget by copying from s:kn:Mediawiki:Cropimage.js page to s:sa:Mediawiki:Cropimage.js and add below to
*Cropimage[ResourceLoader|default]|Cropimage.js
to editing-tools-for-Page-namespace section on s:sa:Mediawiki:Gadgets-definition page .~aanzx © 22:27, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

License Import Improvement Request[edit]

Hello

Thank you for your wonderful work. Recently, I started using WikiFile Transfer to import local uploads from Enwiki to Tewiki. It is a very helpful tool that reduces a lot of manual effort and allows Wikimedians to spend their time elsewhere. However, our fellow Wikimedian Chaduvari found that it is not importing the license to Tewiki. So, users again need to manually add that to the files. Considering the volume of work (thousands of articles without photos are being improved with this tool), this would definitely be a burden for users.

Therefore, we would like to request you to see if it can be improved in such a way that license details are also imported. Thank you for considering.
