Magnus proposed some improvements to the thumbnail function, notably:
[[image:bla.jpg|thumb|some text]] generates a
normal thumbnail
[[image:bla.jpg|thumb=bla_small.jpg|some text]] uses "bla_small.jpg" as the
thumbnail
Add a little sharpening, at least to photos (.jpg/.jpeg).
Other stuff
This is an excellent and much-needed improvement. As I have documented at length on his en
wiki talk page (among other
places), the current thumbnailing method produces significantly sub-optimal results. This
will deal with the criticisims I and
others have made, and provide a major improvement in our visual presentation.
(PS: the styling of the thumbnail boxes is still pretty ordinary: some attention to the
CSS would also be good.)
