Change Details

There is., as far as I can see, [[ https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/mediawiki/core/+/150268/ | only one use of symlink in MediaWiki core ]]. Symlinks are lightweight and ideal, but [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Topic:V2kngjrvihholh7p&topic_showPostId=v2rec01io34ok1cj | some systems may not allow them ]]. Instead of failing outright, an attempt should be made to copy the file and, only if that also fails, declare that the thumbnail creation has failed.
