+* (T69525) You can now make MediaWiki speed up its thumbnail rendering by using
+  intermediary thumbnails. $wgThumbnailBuckets must be set to a list of target
+  thumbnail widths; when a new thumbnail needs to be rendered, MediaWiki will
+  find the smallest bucket smaller than the original but larger than the target
+  width + $wgThumbnailMinimumBucketDistance, and it will scale that thumbnail,
+  rather than the original, down to the target size at greater speed in return
+  for minor loss of fidelity.
