As you know, I have been removing sortkeys from many articles here because they are unnecessary. One place where they may be needed, however, is in articles for people. In most languages/countries, people's names are sorted by last name. But some sort by first name (including those who say the family name first). Do you know how to properly sort the people in, say, [[:Kategori:Tokoh]] and [[:Kategori:Pahlawan]] (the latter of which I'm not sure is an appropriate category name, since it appears to mean "hero")? In particular, see [[Special:Diff/28898|this edit of mine]]. - [[Sang Anganggé:Dcljr|dcljr]] ([[Pabligbagan Sang Anganggé:Dcljr|pabligbagan]]) 19 Oktober 2019 14.57 (WITA)
== Image settings ==
Please see [[Special:Diff/28946|this edit of mine]] (note the edit summary on the right, not the one on the left). The parameter "thumb" means make it a small image floated to the right, so "right" is redundant in that case. Whether this kind of change is necessary or desired is debatable, but I prefer it myself. Also, more importantly, users can set their own preferred default thumbnail image size in their preferences (under the "Appearance" tab) — and this choice may be made for very good reasons (e.g., vision problems, using a display with much greater or lower resolution than normal, etc.) — so setting thumbnail sizes in pixels in articles is generally discouraged. The system default is 220px, but users can choose from among several sizes from 120px up to 400px. If a particular image needs to be smaller or larger than "the average" image (because it's especially short and wide, or tall and narrow, or because it contains a significant amount of detail), then the "upright" parameter can be used, which specifies a ''multiple'' by which to scale the image (by 75% if "upright" alone is used, or by a user-specified amount if "upright" is set equal to a number. See [[Special:Diff/28947|these]] two [[Special:Diff/28950|edits]] for examples. Such ''relative'' sizing works with user's preferences, while hardcoding sizes in pixels does not. Details about "upright" may be found at [[:en:Wikipedia:Extended image syntax#Size]]. - [[Sang Anganggé:Dcljr|dcljr]] ([[Pabligbagan Sang Anganggé:Dcljr|pabligbagan]]) 19 Oktober 2019 15.50 (WITA)
