Found this breakdown of thumbnail sizes in swiftthat had been done some time ago: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T65440#1448815

120 is an excellent choice, it's the most common thumbnail size. 60px is quite low in the ranking but still in the top 50. 48px (3rd most used) would be a much better option, though, in that "area". There are roughly ten times more 48px thumbnails than 60px, which means a 48px request is 10 times more likely to be a hit than a 60px. If you need slightly bigger, 75px is your next best choice.

I've ran the numbers again today and the resulting json is P4577, it'll need a bit of json-love but it contains a breakdown by size of bytes and number of thumbnails

Thanks @Krinkle, much more useful ! 😀

When you talk about size you mean width, right?

@bearND correct, the size as it appears in the url before px
