Hello Gandalf,

I am not a member of the Wikimedia Maps team, but I assume that like many other organizations that render map tiles, they do not pre-render these tiles because that is a waste of disk space. Please refer to the following page for more information: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tile_disk_usage

In particular, pre-rendering all tiles would use approximately 54 TB of storage and majority of them are never viewed by the end user. So most map tile servers generally just render tiles as needed and then cache them.

Hope this helps.

Hi to all.
We are currently using, for a project, your maps tiles (we like your
color schema)
As we would like to put them in our CDN to offload your servers, do
you have a safe
method to download pre-rendered map tiles or should I download the whole OSM
data file and generate all tiles manually ?

If possible, we prefere to not generate all tiles manually, due to
lack of resources
on our side.

Any idea ?
Thank you
