Proposal:
- Make the default a nice proper size for the modern Web; I suggest
360px but could be argued up.
- Remove all the other sizes from wgThumbLimits
- Remove the user preferences for thumbnail size
Simple.

Let's talk about something that's not
text-related for a change.
This has already been brought up on several venues recently; Antoine
suggested I bring it up here [1], so I'm doing that.
It's pretty clear that various wiki communities would like to see larger
thumbnails [2], either by default or as an option. The largest we offer is
300px, the default is 220px, and that's like a speck of dust on the
displays common these days.
It is apparently not possible to provide a different set of sizes
per-wiki, not to support more sizes than we support now [3]. Now the
question is, can we enlarge them for all Wikimedia wikis at once instead?
What if we lower the available number of sizes (we have 7 different ones
now)? I haven't seen that answered anywhere, and I and others would love to
know.
