            Bug ID: 62306
           Summary: Need error message and/or better design for thumbnails
                    broken due to megapixel limit

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Constitution_of_the_United_States,_page_1.tif
is a high-resolution TIFF file which is above the current megapixel limit for
rendering thumbnails.

As a result, image description pages just render a large broken thumbnail
image, but do not communicate to the user what the problem is. In particular,
since this is how the image will always render due to its large resolution, not
a temporary issue, the design could be improved so it is not so confusing to
the user (and so it is clearer that they can download the original file if
desired).
