Calculating "image_upright"
[ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ]The image_upright parameter, and image2_upright and logo_upright where applicable, is/are provided so as to facilitate the use of scalable images in this infobox, in accordance with the instructions at WP:IMAGESIZE, which advises against the use of "px" (for example: thumb|300px), as this forces a fixed image width.
Scalable images respect the user's base preference, which may have been selected for that user's particular devices. Module:InfoboxImage, which is used in this infobox, accommodates the use of scaling. However, setting the appropriate scale is slightly more complex than setting a raw "px" value. This guide provides a quick conversion table to make the process of setting a scale easier. It is based on a default thumbnail setting of 220px.
170px→upright=0.75180px→upright=0.8190px→upright=0.85200px→upright=0.9210px→upright=0.95220px→upright=1230px→upright=1.05240px→upright=1.1250px→upright=1.15260px→upright=1.2270px→upright=1.23280px→upright=1.25290px→upright=1.3300px→upright=1.35
