User:Ironiridis

Hello
I'm probably best known on Wikinews, where I am a retired admin. My user page there has a fair amount of history you can wander around if you'd like.

Most of my interest in MediaWiki is in breaking it with complex templates. I use it internally at my workplace for professional purposes, as I'm sure many do.

My Extension
I built Extension:UploadConvert, which is an ugly but functional way to run a utility against an upload that may provide a replacement file. It's meant to convert a file like a BMP file format image and convert it, upon upload, to a Portable Network Graphics format image. Other conversions are possible, such as audio transcoding.

Upload convert
Hi, I was looking at this great extension and an obvious very useful application would be to resize uploaded images. This is a big problem now even $100 digital cameras produce massive 12MP resolution files. Would you be interested in adding this functionality for a fee? Many thanks! --Mitchelln (talk) 16:22, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
