= Basic file size=

{{#filesize:Image:Ground_rules.jpg}}

gives the filesize of that image, which is {{#filesize:Image:Ground_rules.jpg}}

{{#filesize:Media:Sample Household Consensus Form.doc}}

gives the filesize of that document, which is {{#filesize:Media:Sample Household Consensus Form.doc}}. The same with 'Image' in stead of 'Media' also works: {{#filesize:Image:Sample Household Consensus Form.doc}}

Get file size for thumbnail

{{#filesize:Image:Ground_rules.jpg|50}}

constrains the image to width 50px. The size is {{#filesize:Image:Ground_rules.jpg|50}} for this thumbnail: {{#filesize:Image:Ground_rules.jpg|50|linkthumb}}

{{#filesize:Image:Ground_rules.jpg|50x30}}

constrains the size to within 50x30. Size is {{#filesize:Image:Ground_rules.jpg|50x30}} for this image: {{#filesize:Image:Ground_rules.jpg|50x30|linkthumb}}

{{#filesize:Image:Ground_rules.jpg|10x30}}

constrains teh size to within 10x3. Size is {{#filesize:Image:Ground_rules.jpg|10x30}} for this image: {{#filesize:Image:Ground_rules.jpg|10x30|linkthumb}}

Specify a size, and help

{{#filesize:Image:Ground_rules.jpg|50x30|help}}

{{#filesize:Image:Ground_rules.jpg|50x30|help}}

Specify a size, and provide a preview

{{#filesize:Image:Ground_rules.jpg|50x100|preview}}

You can use the preview option to generate some information and a preview, to help choose a good image size and file size. The above command produces:

{{#filesize:Image:Ground_rules.jpg|50x60|preview}}

Note how the requested size was 50x60, and the function returns the appropriate wiki code to produce the required dimensions.

Linking and showing the filesize

For generic documents, Media:...pdf and Image:...pdf link to the media, and to the media page respectively:

• Direct link to media {{#filesize:Media:Sample Household Consensus Form.pdf|linkfull showparams}} (filesize relevant)
• Link to media page {{#filesize:Image:Sample Household Consensus Form.pdf|linkfull showparams}} (filesize less relevant, because it is also shown on the media page)

For images this is the same, Media:...jpg links to the (full res)image, while Image:...jpg links to the Image page.

• Link to full size image directly (useful filesize): {{#filesize:Media:Ground_rules.jpg|linkfull showparams}}
• Link to image page directly (less useful filesize): {{#filesize:Media:Ground_rules.jpg|linkfull showparams}}

If you specify a thumb size, we need to link out to the thumb. (Media and Image have same effect.) You can do it like this:

• {{#filesize:Media:Ground_rules.jpg|50x100|linkthumb showparams}}
• {{#filesize:Image:Ground_rules.jpg|50x100|linkthumb showparams}}

If you specify linkfull and and thumb size, we change the linkfull to linkthumb (giving the size of the thumb and linking to the full image makes no sense:

• Link to thumb directly: {{#filesize:Media:Ground_rules.jpg|50x100|linkfull showparams}}
• Link to page: {{#filesize:Image:Ground_rules.jpg|50x100|linkfull showparams}}

Other experiments

• {{#filesize:Media:Ground_rules.jpg|50x100|showthumb showparams}}
• {{#filesize:Image:Ground_rules.jpg|50x100|showthumb showparams}}

Output useful for api calls in mirroring script (needs further work to give proper serialised output):

• {{#filesize:Media:Ground_rules.jpg|50x100|serialised showparams}}
• {{#filesize:Image:Ground_rules.jpg|50x100|serialised showparams}}
