Bug ID: 65475
Summary: Resized raster image does not succeed metadata of the
original file
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
Reporter: ifurk...@hotmail.com
Web browser: ---
Mobile Platform: ---
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.
