            Bug ID: 54035
           Summary: API imageinfo should allow fetching multiple thumbnail
                    sizes
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: API

To support high-density displays, we generate or fetch media thumbnails at
three resolutions: standard 1x, 1.5x, and 2.0x density.

When going over InstantCommons, this currently requires us to make three
separate thumbnail lookups over the internet, which are done in serial and can
product quite some latency.

(For the more general issue that each image is looked up separately during
parsing, see bug 54033.)

If the imageinfo API were extended to allow requesting multiple sizes, we could
do a single request and retrieve all three thumbnail URLs at once. Will file a
second bug to enhance ForeignAPIRepo to support this...
