Please allow MediaWiki to continue scaling GIF images. MediaWiki seems to be
taking a long time to finish up creating animated GIF thumbnails. This is seen
by the experiences some have had with individual animated GIFs that have had
their image pages purged. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29#Category:Animations_of_geometry
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Werdna#Non-megapixel_animation_doesn.27t_display_as_animated_thumbnail
If there are a few animated GIFs that can't be thumbnailed, it is better that
GIF scaling be kept turned on. People can upload resized animated GIFs for the
animated GIFs that are causing problems.
This is better than turning off GIF scaling for all static and animated GIFs.
Static GIF scaling is working fine. Also, MediaWiki resizing creates sharper
static GIF thumbnails than browser resizing of static GIFs.
And turning off MediaWiki scaling of animated GIFs puts a big load on dialup
users viewing pages with animated GIFs. Many animated GIFs use hundreds of
thousands, or millions, of kilobytes.
