As the linked thread mentioned, MediaWiki is used

outside of Wikimedia.
For example, I'm running three instances on a server with 10 GB of disk
space.
Therefore, this should be an option in LocalSettings.php rather than a
global change; that way, the installations which are CPU-constrained
rather than disk-constrained can use other solutions, from user
education to Squid.
Yeah, I think it should probably an option (we could debate
the default
later). Besides the obvious bandwidth issue, some browsers may do worse
scaling then MediaWiki's library (imagemagick I believe). Of course,
others might be better.

https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l Maybe put a CSS box
over/next to the image, in preview mode and possibly
in normal viewing mode as well, suggesting that the user specifies a
standard size for higher quality etc..?
Also, a "lightbox" feature may help - expand the image to the full size
(as sent by the server) on click, then link to the file page upon a
second click (hide the "lightbox" upon a click outside of the image
borders).
I am unsure how difficult this feature would be to add -- I have not dug
around in MediaWiki's code before. Can someone point me in the right
direction?
