We've sort of been skating around this issue for some time, but perhaps it's time we discussed it formally. Historically, when comics story articles needed a comic cover or comic page for their top picture, that cover was displayed at 250px wide. And this makes perfect sense...if your desktop resolution is still 1024x768. But my past few computers' resolutions have all been 1600x900. And, to be frank, 250px images look uncomfortably tiny on this screen (sometimes I have to squint), so I've been setting these page top images to be 400px wide. If 250px was approximately 1/4 the width of a 1024px-wide display, then 400px is exactly 1/4 the width of a 1600px-wide display. I would like your permission to keep maintaining comic cover/page top images to be 400px wide. This is a question of ensuring article pages look like they were written for the PCs of 2017, not the PCs of 2007. It just seems more reasonable to ask people with older PCs to zoom out as needed with Ctrl "-" than it is to ask people with modern PCs to zoom in as needed with Ctrl "+". As for mobile browser displays, the image width is moot because mobile-friendly pages zoom more variably, and Wikia's mobile site gives editors far less control over markup behavior anyway.
