Perhaps generate the standard thumbnail sizes at

I believe the status quo is no thumbs (of any size) are generated at
upload time. They are all just done on demand.
That's correct in theory. In practice (for uploads using
Special:Upload at least) the user is redirected to the file
description page after a successful upload, which contains a thumb of
the file of a given size (800px?), which is then immediately generated
on demand :) . Special:UploadWizard has similar behavior: the success
page contains 200px(?) thumbs of all the images the user uploaded.
