I enabled image uploads yesterday, for all logged in users. Please try to limit uploads to original and/or programmatically-generated material. If you feel it necessary to upload an image retrieved from elsewhere, please ensure that uploading it here does not violate the original copyright. I'm not going to depend on Fair Use to get around more restrictive licenses, because I don't have the legal resources to defend against an infringement claim. --Short Circuit 23:50, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm a little late with this, I suppose, but I've been dinking around with Piet (Esolangs entry) over the past few days, and its programs are entirely images. (From the Piet page: "Piet is a programming language in which programs look like abstract paintings.") I like the language (as a toy), but it's possible (although somewhat unlikely) that the images could get... big. (Biggest one known so far: [Image:http://www.dangermouse.net/esoteric/piet/pietquest.png])

So... What's the upper limit on images? Not "what will Mediawiki support", but "what do you consider too big?" -- Erik Siers 17:11, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
