: I too support all of the proposed changes, including the filetype loosening and especially the cropping and widescreen and <code><nowiki>[[/Gallery]]</nowiki></code> subpages and colour comics and ... well, and all of it! Great opening post OttselSpy, can't wait to see this omnibus of much-needed fixes pass through! – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 02:19, 22 February 2023 (UTC) | : I too support all of the proposed changes, including the filetype loosening and especially the cropping and widescreen and <code><nowiki>[[/Gallery]]</nowiki></code> subpages and colour comics and ... well, and all of it!

I just want to chime in with a bit of technical insight and say that the images that get uploaded are technically not the same ones that end up on articles anymore (they would have been when these rules were first made). When you include an image and give it a specific width of, say, 120px, the server will actually resize the image and load that instead of the full-sized version. It will also convert the image into a format called WebP, which is just a super-optimised format for images online, and so the file size is going to be a fraction of what you upload it as. This means there's not really a technical reason to have any limitations on width (at upload-time), nor on the file size or even file format, because ''all'' of those have changed when the image actually ends up on a page.
