I'm using ImageMagick to render SVG images on my wiki but some of the thumbnails have problems with them. For exampled this SVG image has some pixels in the upper left hand corner that shouldn't be there: http://thecatholicguide.com/wiki/File:Arms_of_Basilica.svg
My wiki is hosted so my only image converting option is ImageMagick. Is there anything I can do to get better thumbnails?
I'm afraid I can't tell you what to do in general but I can say that in the case of the graphic linked to above, it's the star polygon that's the issue. Note that I don't see the polygon at all when I view the file in Inkscape but ImageMagick *tries* to render it and seems to me to have it in the right place (around the origin) but gets a little confused, apparently. Here is a much reduced version of your file which exhibits the reported behavior.
