= 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 thumb directly: {{#filesize:Media:Ground_rules.jpg|50x100|linkfull showparams}} - doesn't make sense, see below.
  • Link to page: {{#filesize:Image:Ground_rules.jpg|50x100|linkfull showparams}}.

Note how 'linkfull' doesnt produce relevant information in all cases - it needs fixing in the extension. For now, you can specify 'thumb', the extension provides a link to the thumbnail (as an external link). (Media and Image have same effect.) Examples:

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