If you want to be able to resize images on the fly to support thumbnails, MediaWiki needs a working ImageMagick installation. Set the $wgUseImageResize and $wgUseImageMagick variables to true once you have installed and tested ImageMagick on your system. Make sure the $wgImageMagickConvertCommand variable points to the proper location of the  command of your installation, that the command is executable by the web server process, and $wgMaxShellMemory is large enough. See Manual:Image Administration for detailed information and trouble-shooting.
