It would be great if someone in the analytics team could give an idea of the most commonly requested thumbnails and we could use this as the basis for a new conversation.
Serendipitously, about the same time you mentioned "most commonly requested thumbnails", User:Nicholasjf21 showed up at the MW Support Desk asking for help with the following problem:
We're currently trying to brighten our Main Page with some large images, but could do with them scaling automatically according to the user's screen resolution. Is there any way of doing this?
I pointed to this discussion, but it seems like this would be the perfect time to get some statistics on image scaling. If this sort of scaling became more common, I could see it resulting in a large number of awkward resolution thumbnails that are only rarely used.
