When the image file is resized or rendered to a raster image (from vector source) by wiki software, the metadata generally does not get carried over even if the original file contains any. While I understand there is some major argument of how metadata should be added on Wikimedia platform, I think we at least should transfer the original metadata to the resized raster render instead of leaving the metadata fields totally empty.
After the change of Wikimedia that the file description page no longer provides original size preview if the width of the original raster image is too long, the down-scaled version is always the one being shown, which means readers are more likely to have downloaded the metadata-less version because the "original file" link isn't that obvious to the user that it is actually different than the preview image in many ways.
