Change Details

**Author:** `mcdevitd` **Description:** This is a bug report to determine whether we can raise the megapixel limit for images higher than the current 50 MP limit. This would better support high-quality archival scans and other complex media. According to data from Tim Landscheidt (http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikilint/50mps.csv), there are currently over 20,000 files that break the megapixel limit in Wikimedia projects, which results in a thumbnail error that makes them unusable except for downloading. Roughly, raising the limit to 200 MP would fix all but the top-1000 highest-resolution images. Raising it to 100 MP would fix all but the top 5000. I have no idea how these changes might affect site performance, though. Thoughts? -------------------------- **Version**: wmf-deployment **Severity**: normal **See Also**: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47363
