I see. Well, my complaints were mainly about converting jpg to png, which usually makes no sense. But I believe I see the reason why you want PNGs: When the uploaded file is resized to a pretty small size (for some kind of template) and then gets compressed as JPG by MediaWiki since the original uploaded file was in this format too, it might not look very good because of the artifacts. Is my guess right, is that the reason for PNGs? A possible solution would be to configure MediaWiki to make it compress resized JPGs at a higher quality setting, for example 80 oder 85 instead of 70 or 75 or so. I don't know for sure, but I'm rather certain this can be changed in the MediaWiki configuration. o.o" --[[User:Nyoo|Nyoo]] 20:37, 6 February 2009 (UTC) | I see.

:We don't like when they are converted to png from jpg. We like when they are taken as Pngs. I don't know about mediawiki thing though... Another reason we want pngs is because we have had multiple cases of people stealing images, which is against our rules as well as the other sites. Other sites usually only carry pngs, so we are trying to prevent the stealing by restricting the uploading of jpgs and gifs. [[User:Maverick Nate|Maverick Nate]] 00:03, 7 February 2009 (UTC) | |||
