--- Comment #11 from Tony Souter <[email protected]> 2009-12-11 13:10:10 UTC --- Dear friends, I've sent the following message to Ariel, asking for advice about when the spare capacity might be available to achieve the increase from 180 to 220 px: "Ariel, after extensive discussion and an RfC, en.WP decided with overwhelming consensus that it wants to move the default width of thumbnail images from 180 to 200 pixels. The request to do this technically was filed at Bugzilla on 10 October [link provided] and allocated to Rob Halsell. I refer to Roan Kattouw's 5 November comment, that: <blockquote>I talked to Ariel, and he's not convinced that the scalers can handle it: all images used on enwiki would have to be rethumbnailed within a relatively short time. Before we do this, Ariel wants to have a few spare machines that can be thrown into the scaler pool at short notice, and wants to be around to do that. Currently, neither is the case. Summary: not happening right now, we need more servers first.</blockquote> The number of queries as to when the change will be made is increasing. I wonder whether you can advise us when the spare capacity might be available to achieve this important upgrade. I've emailed this message to you at [email protected] and have copied it to the Bugzilla page and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Image_use_policy#I.27ve_contacted_WMF.27s_Ariel_Glenn_about_the_thumbnail_increase en.WP's Image Use Policy talk page].
