Bug ID: 49357
Summary: Increase default image thumb size
Product: Wikimedia
Version: wmf-deployment
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Site requests

Mobile Platform: ---
The 220px thumbnails are too small considering the great amount of high
resolution displays [1] and the growing number of dpi on mobile devices. I
think it is mandatory to change this in the next two years or so. Otherwise the
user experience will drop significantly.
Currently there are discussions about the technical problems on how to
implement this:
* Bug 41712 comment 14 states some caching problems when setting the standard
thumbnail width for each wiki separately and (possibly) different. Therefore
I'd suggest to change the default globally.
* Another proposal [2] suggests to "store only preferred-size thumbnails
indefinitely"
...
In the past a few site requests had community consensus but were closed as
"WONTFIX" due to server performance issues. (See bug 47332 for example)
Though community consensus is needed for a possible patch of this bug to be
merged the technical details should be discussed first.
