lewiscawte updated subscribers of T176: Use VIPS for image scaling & deploy the VipsScaler MediaWiki extension.

@gbarnick So Bricki is the one wiki currently testing VipsSscaler - might be the cause of your image thumbnail problems? Can you provide a few examples and make sure to note which part is wrong/what it should be?

Yes, there are security and/or privacy issues. The applicable part here being "privacy issues". Which is why only staff can use these tools to enable us to do our jobs. We take privacy seriously, and these tools are not used unless it is necessary. LookupUser was originally written by one of the key MediaWiki developers, who is currently employed by the Wikimedia Foundation, so will have been written with security and privacy concerns in mind.

There's a reason a number of extensions in the repository are unused. For Configure it's a case of "works okay for one wiki, not 8800+."
