Wikicode for inserting animage in a standard ways into Wikipedia: [[File:Name.jpg|thumb|Text]] without any size. VE adds a fixed size of 225x225px (why these numbers?) to the wikicode which is wrong for most Wikipedias. The size of a standard thumbnail depends on $wgThumbLimits and $wmgThumbsizeIndex or the size set in the user preference.
*** Bug 50766 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Further the manual of style policy on image size http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IMGSIZE#Displayed_image_size states that most images on the right hand side of the page should be scaled to 220 pixels wide. There need to be a way of specifying a precise numerical size.

Per above policy: "In general, do not define the size of an image".
This bug doesn't depend on bug 38129 (and neither does it block it).
I support this bug. Please dont add a size to the image by default. And show the size as tooltip, if user resizes it.
Done in Gerrit change #114420.
