Also there are Special:FilePath and thumb.php. I'm not sure how this
affects caching though.

     Hello Markus;

     The URL of a Commons image is build like this:

     https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/x/xy/File_name.ext

     Where X and XY are the first char and first&second chars
     respectively of the md5sum of the filename (replacing the spaces
     with _).

     For a 200px thumb:

     
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/x/xy/File_name.ext/200px-File_name.ext

     The SVG files are a special case, therefore .png is appended to
     .ext, being .ext.png. For SVG doesn't mind to use big thumb sizes,
     but when file is JPG, don't try to generate a thumb bigger than the
     original file or you will get a beautiful error.

     Regards

         Dear Wikidatarians,

         From Commons media properties, I get the string name of a file
         on Commons. I can easily use it to build a link to the Commons
         page fo rthat image.

         * But how do I get the raw image URL?
         * And can I also get the raw URL of a small-scale (thumbnail) image?

         I would like to beautify my Wikidata applications to show some
         images. I know this is more of a general MediaWiki question, but
         it is much more relevant in Wikidata, so I am posting it here
         first. I guess somebody has already solved this since we have
         images in various Wikidata-based applications and gadgets.

         Thanks

         Markus
