[04:39:38] Hello AgentICS! If you have any questions, feel free to ask and someone should answer soon. [19:17:39] so I wanted to check if there really wasn't a space limit for images, or it's just hidden? on my last version of the Pokemon wiki, I had a tight file storage limit, so I hotlinked all images to Bulbapedia. Should I reupload them here instead of making them all linked images? [19:19:10] pretty sure there will be _some_ limit on the size of an individual file, but probably none for the number of files [19:19:29] or the total size of all files? [19:19:43] I don't think MediaWiki itself would keep track [19:19:49] only when the backend runs out of disk [19:20:44] paladox: ^ [19:20:55] not sure where the limit is, but at some point would he get blocked? [19:20:57] should I at all be worried that my part of the back end will run out of disk? [19:21:00] There's no overall storage limit on images. I think we have a wiki with 60GBs of images but of course, do remember we're a free service so please be mindful :) [19:21:13] i think we limit it to 200MB but not that you'll be able to upload that much. [19:21:17] RomajiMAmulo: I think the answer is to start uploading but not go too crazy [19:21:19] it's limited to the timeout as well [19:21:22] and see how it goes [19:21:29] It might help to know the volume you're proposing to bring in [19:21:43] You can get a more certain answer of 'that's fine' or 'hmm' [19:21:59] okay it should be less than 60gb [19:21:59] I'm asking here because it's hard to make the templates work with either local or outsourced images [19:22:30] Less than with solid wiki contents sounds reasonable [19:23:45] rough estimate is 666mb, using worst case pokemon image and assuming 1000 pokemon/forms will end up on the site [19:24:01] and then adding some more for the tiny ones [19:24:22] You'll be fine then [19:24:49] alright. thanks. [19:25:26] Yep, perfectly reasonable size [19:25:27] I wonder if at some point it might make sense or be possible to save disk space for miraheze by de-duplicating images. I could imagine with enough wikis you start to have identical image files used on more than 1 wiki [19:25:45] but then that also sounds pretty complicated to go across wikis [19:25:48] At that point what you'd want to do is encourage miraheze commons since that is largely its point [19:25:59] Any 'generic' type images should be placed there already [19:26:00] true, you are right [19:30:05] The 'ancillary' wikis to meta go severely underadvertised anyway, though [19:30:21] And by proxy of less traffic, underused/underdeveloped as well
