[edit]Please don't do that. The Mediawiki software handles this. If this was actually needed, we'd set up a bot to do it. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 08:20, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
- I didn't see any harm in merely reducing a few file sizes with better lossless compression. But I defer to those with those with far more experience here than me, I won't do it again. Thanks for letting me know. - C 1 (talk)
- Images from Commons are usually served as thumbnails. The optimization has no effect in those cases. Those files do cost extra storage, so the net gain may well be negative. In addition, unwanted side effects may occur. Optimization tools may strip metadata, color profiles or break standards compliance. The Commons community currently sees no reason to apply these tools anywhere, but if we did, they would be thoroughly tested to make sure nothing breaks and a bot (or MediaWiki itself) would apply it to avoid mistakes that could be made when overwriting by hand. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 13:03, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
