Hello Markus; The URL of a Commons image is build like this:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/x/xy/File_name.ext Where X and XY are the first char and first&second chars respectively of the md5sum of the filename (replacing the spaces with _). For a 200px thumb: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/x/xy/File_name.ext/200px-File_name.ext The SVG files are a special case, therefore .png is appended to .ext, being .ext.png. For SVG doesn't mind to use big thumb sizes, but when file is JPG, don't try to generate a thumb bigger than the original file or you will get a beautiful error.
