Bug #: 42047
Summary: thumb.php on Wikimedia Commons is serving broken
images (thumbnail generation fails)
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Hello and sorry for my limited English.
I've written a little script that I use to automatically retrieve the Wikimedia
Commons "picture of the day" and save a local copy on my server in different
sizes (width=200px, width=400px and width=1024px).
I call the file with this URL: $distantfile =
"http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/thumb.php?f=".$filename."&w=400"; (replacing
"400" with whatever I want: 200, 400 or 1024. (Thumb.php is a script used to
resize images)
My little script has been working fine for two years. However I've noticed
several issues since ~ day 20th of October. It looks like thumb.php on Commons
is now repeatedly generating errors with some sizes.
Example with the “picture of the day” of today (try it yourself in your web
browser):
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/thumb.php?f=Albrecht_of_Brandeburg_Duerer_VandA_E.653-1940.jpg&w=400
==> ERROR
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/thumb.php?f=Albrecht_of_Brandeburg_Duerer_VandA_E.653-1940.jpg&w=401
==> OK
Please not that I am not a developer.
