Re: [MediaWiki-l] Getting thumbnails of all images with Javascript

Why would you need to get an existing thumbnail? You can always request a thumbnail and receive one. Let's take https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Virmalised_18.03.15_(4).jpg as an example. You can try hard to figure out what thumbnails already exist for that picture, but why bother? If you want a 197px thumbnail, just embed

/*197px**-*Virmalised_18.03.15_%284%29.jpg in your code. The part I highlighted in yellow specifies the size, and the red part is what you add to the URL to make a thumbnail. If a thumbnail exists already, it'll be sent to you; if not, one will be created. In any case, you get a thumbnail of the desired size, and will save on network traffic.
