Summary: Link to stashed file should be size-limited
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: UploadWizard

When a file is uploaded and stashed (but not yet committed to the wiki), we
show previews that are themselves stashed.
These previews link to the full version of the file. But because of the way the
stash works, it is undesirable to serve large images. (The security is handled
by a PHP script reading in from disk and writing to STDOUT). So there is a
limit on the size of files that can be served. This annoys many people who
click on the file and get a cryptic error message
Solution: instead of linking to the real file, link to yet another preview
file, limited by size.
Nice to have: instead of a link to a page, use a lightbox to show the image,
somewhat larger.
