Is there something I have to do, to enable
MediaWiki to use thumbnails?
MediaWiki can use GD (
http://ie.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php)
functions to scale thumbnails if available. These are quite crap,
however, and if ImageMagick
(
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php) is available on the
server, it will be used instead.
Both of these are detected during installation and the appropriate
options pre-set in LocalSettings.php where applicable. Check that
$wgUseImageResize is set to true.
Don't forget to *tell* MediaWiki to render an image as a thumbnail.
Something like
[[Image:Narcissistic photo of me.jpg|thumb]]
would do it.
