Summary: Support optimized WebP thumbnails as alternative to
JPEG
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Images and files
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org

CC: gpaum...@wikimedia.org, bryan.tongm...@gmail.com
Depends on: 25397
If Google's WebP format increases in popularity (eg with rumored default
support in future versions of Chrome), it could be advantageous to support
generating thumbnails in WebP as an alternative to JPEG; WebP images can
generally fit the same quality into a smaller filesize, which cuts down on
bandwidth usage and download times.
In the ideal case, WebP images should be shipped out on-demand to any browser
that declares support for them.
The biggest difficulty would be in getting content-type negotiation working for
image fetches for anonymous page views! Ah, caching. ;) But even as an option
that triggers only for logged-in users, it's something to think about.
