Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Multimedia and Commons/(Un)-Pause Buttons for animated GIFs
Problem : Animated Gifs are an important way of illustrating some concepts. But they can also be extremely distracting and annoying while reading text near to them.
Who would benefit : All readers and editors
Proposed solution : Add a lite icon to allow to stop the animation. If the icon is pressed stop the animation and replace the icon with another icon that allows to resume the playback.
More comments : The nowerdays defunct Firefox-Addon Toggle animated GIFs implemented this very nicely.
