For example, all of the thumbnails in [[commons:Category:Sanborn maps of Staten Island]] are broken when you go to view an image in full resolution. It doesn't have to be someone hitting reload repeatedly, the call for the thumb regenerates on its own once it fails. For example: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9d/Staten_Island%2C_Plate_No._12_%28Map_bounded_by_Boyd%2C_Brooks%2C_Mc_Keon%2C_Varian_Cedar%29_NYPL1957089.tiff/lossy-page1-3000px-Staten_Island%2C_Plate_No._12_%28Map_bounded_by_Boyd%2C_Brooks%2C_Mc_Keon%2C_Varian_Cedar%29_NYPL1957089.tiff.jpg I can open that up in a background browser tab and it just keeps hitting the server over and over for thumbnail requests. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
