--- Comment #25 from D Hugh Redelmeier <[email protected]> ---
I just hit this "problem".  Or perhaps a variant of it.

- local JPEG file from a modest camera takes pictures with more than 12.5
megapixels

- uploading it to our Wiki yields this opaque error message:
    Error creating thumbnail: Invalid thumbnail parameters

- debugging ensues.  Wasted hours.

The absolutely simple fix is to print a useful diagnostic.  Perhaps
   Error creating thumbnail: image is larger than nnn megapixels

Bonus points: a link to a guide to how to deal with this problem.
Here's a minimal one I just created:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Errors_and_Symptoms#JPEG

Summary: think of the poor users who hit this limit.

(Perhaps every error message ought to have its own wiki page.)
