Note received, I C/Ped the instructions to a sticky note for reference. I will say, though, that the file type doesn't matter all that much. All the files I've uploaded are PNG, and none of them come close to touching 1MB of space. --Δ Epelesker (talk) 15:24, 6 March 2014 (MST)

True. That said, .pngs tend to be drastically larger in size just because they don't compress files anywhere near as much as .jpgs do (by design). Also most commissions tend to be delivered that way (in png) and in absurd resolutions. My last commission came in at 6561x9779 pixels and at a whopping 183MB. So if people don't watch before they upload... Destructor (talk) 15:34, 6 March 2014 (MST)

Still getting an error on the Special:UnusedFiles page, however I have found a roundabout way to at least check what we have in the way of large files.

http://primusdatabase.com/api.php?action=query&list=allimages&ailimit=500&aiminsize=1048576&aimaxsize=5242880&aiprop=dimensions|mime|size

Will display details of any files over 1MB in size (of which we have a lot) by replacing 10485760 with a value from the following we can see specifically files above these values:

1MB = 1048576 | 5 MB = 5242880 | 6 MB = 6291456 | 7 MB = 7340032 | 8 MB = 8388608 | 9 MB = 9437184 | 10 MB = 10485760

Using this I have at least be able to go through the few files >5MB and remove unused ones that may be causing problems. Liath (talk) 08:51, 7 March 2014 (MST)
