It seems to me that delivering *static*

in place: just set $wgMaxAnimatedGifArea = 0;
IIRC, we don't yet have working detection for animated GIFs:

That shouldn't matter, should it? Setting $wgMaxAnimatedGifArea to N
simply causes Bitmap.php to tell ImageMagick to only extract the first
frame of any GIF files with N or more pixels (which makes no difference
if the GIF in fact only has one frame).
