The description page of svg files has some handy links: "This image rendered as PNG in other sizes: 200px, 500px, 1000px, 2000px". A similar thing would be useful to download/preview individual pages of multipage pdf (with PdfHandler), djvu or tiff (with TiffHandler) at the desired resolution (as jpg or possibly png, see bug 11259) directly from the description page. Currently, you have to create the thumbnail in a page and then download it or to make MediaWiki create the thumbnail by "inventing" the correct direct link (say http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c8/Recognition_Pictorial_Manual.djvu/page7-957px-Recognition_Pictorial_Manual.djvu.jpg ).
This is commons en english wikipedia specific Javascript 'magic', and not core functionality of the software.
But it could be, see also bug 24619. I've reworded this bug as a request for when the funtionality itself is added to also add it for these specific cases. (Depending on the way it's implemented needs a change in related extensions)
Seems to be fixed
Marco: Where? Testcase welcome.

(In reply to comment #3) > Seems to be fixed Yes it is, at least on Wikimedia projects; I don't if in core or *Handler extensions.
