You have my vote

I can't figure out how this new wishlist is anything other than a giant list of unprioritized things that will never get done, but if there were a voting mechanism this wish would have my vote. -- Ahecht (TALK

This was also requested in the Commons:Commons:Requests for comment/Technical needs survey#Upload tool poll, would be good if you added this link to the proposal Hameltion. Prototyperspective (talk) 22:00, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you @Hamelton for sharing this wish and to @Ahecht for supporting it. I understand that CropTool is really important in the commons community, and that CropTool was initially built as a community-maintained tool.

I'm taking note of this wish as impactful for commons and also WMF's support for developers. Thanks! JWheeler-WMF (talk) 15:54, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Live cropping

The best solution for this problem would be to add live cropping into MediaWiki. The crops are then created when adding a file to a page using parameters or when requesting a file using URL parameters. Then we only need the original file and every internal and external reuser can decided what crop they need. GPSLeo (talk) 14:58, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
